Festival of Thought
There is no set way to celebrate the Festivals but below is one example of how to celebrate the Festival of the Festival of Thought on the 6th November 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 Thought, The Festival of Water. TEMP ANO SENTA."
"May our thoughts be in the now and without worry. May we meditate on your Pure Awareness and stillness.”
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 The Other-World, TEMP ANO ALTER JEY."
Close your eyes and breathe slower and deeper. Repeat the phrase “It is now” for some time.
Visualize a white shining circle and within the circle a young female figure full of joy and laughter.
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 thoughts be in the now and without worry. May we meditate on your Pure Awareness and stillness.”
Chant 5 times:
"KER LUK,
TEW ANOS,
ELB MORI,
SENTA OW." ***
Lastly say:
"Let the festival begin."
Celebrate with meditation.
This can then be followed by drumming, music, food and drink, a walk in the forest etc.
*** KER LUK 156
TEW ANOS 156
ELB MORI 156
SENTA OW 156
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 156. 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, 156.
This translates in English as:
Here shines,
Divine circle,
White sea,
Thought alone.
In the visions Kena circles around a white circle of thought, then shows the image of a vast sea of water. The element of Water being symbolic of thought.
