Festival of The Other-World

There is no set way to celebrate the Festivals but below is one example of how to celebrate the Festival of the Other-World on the 9th August or an adjacent weekend:

An altar or sacred space may be set up if required, please see the page on Festivals and Prayers.

Complete visualization (S18 to S22).

Say or think:

"I / Let us celebrate the Festival of The Other-World, The Festival of Air. TEMP ANO ALTER JEY."

"May our speech always be truthful and not harmful. May we always strive to attain that golden light of the Other-World of Pure Awareness."

Light the candle (If you have one). While saying: "OL KEN" (All knowing which is the Pure Awareness)

Then say or think:

"I am/ We are grateful for the time since the Festival of Midsummer, TEMP ANO WEKSEK."

Close your eyes and breathe slower and deeper. Repeat the phrase “It is now” for some time.

Visualize a green shoot growing up perfectly straight and strong turning a greenish yellow as it rises. It is strong, young and full of confidence and vitality.

Visualize a golden white light.

Then say or think:

"Forgive us for the wrongs we have done and for falling short of what we should be. Help us to see all things from your Pure Awareness."

"You are our highest aim and desire. May we be detached from all else but you."

"Kena we thank you for your message, the Weksek. We thank you that you are our guide and our Goddess. May we live knowing and living your joy. Living in pure joy with pure, childlike laughter and happiness. Show us the way to become one with the Pure Awareness."

"May our speech always be truthful and not harmful. May we always strive to attain that golden light of the Other-World of Pure Awareness."

Chant 5 times:

"NAK IK

OKO UPSI,

SMI TOR,

ALTER JEY." ***

Lastly say:

"Let the festival begin."

Celebrate with drinking and laughter.

This can then be followed by drumming, music, food and drink, a walk in the forest etc.

*** NAK IK 164

OKO UPSI 164

SMI TOR 164

ALTER JEY 164

This is a typical Weksek chant. It consists of 4 lines of 2 Concept words and contains a condensed Weksek theology.

Each line has a total value by adding up the Concept word values, which in this case equals 164. In a good Weksek chant, one with symmetry and power, the lines will all add up to the same values, as seen in this example, 164.

This translates in English as:

Yellow energy,

Seeing above,

The door of joy,

The Other-World. (literally Other life.)

In the visions yellow growing from green is a symbol of vitality and strength, growing straight and upward into the light above, the door to the joy of the Other-World.
