Sara's Code of Light Initiation
Once a year on the second half of May, the Romanies community gather to venerate their Saint Sara-la-Kali — “Sara the Black” who guards the Romanies where ever they live.
The gathering is held in the French township Les Saintes Maries de la Mer in south France. Thousands of gypsies reach the place so it seems that the town has gone back in time to the Middle Ages.
Families, the elderly, adults, young people and children come from various European countries and even outside it, especially for religious ceremonies in the honor of the saint, to baptize the children in the church of holiness, to meet friends and unite.
The town which is calm and quiet all year round turns during the pilgrimage to a great center of color and sound when the processions, traditional gypsy music and singing are heard all over the town and along the beach.
​​Itinerary

Day 1 , May 7

​​Welcome to France! Our pilgrimage officially begins today 4 pm at our hotel conference center. Feel free to arrive few days early to explore other parts of France including Marseille, the town we start our journey. We will meet for a Welcome Orientation in the Conference Centre of a hotel around 4 pm. We recommend that you arrive at least the day before in order to rest with plenty of time before the orientation.  Evening opening ceremony...

Day 2 , May 8

Opening our hearts to listen to our Sister Mardalen guidance as we climb the beautiful old forest of Grotte Ste Baume where the ancient grotto of Mary Magdalen lies embedded in the side of the mountain.  The astonishing cavern cathedral carved into the top of a mountain is the cave from which Magdalena is said to have ascended surrounded by thirty angels. Legends indicate that Maria Magdalena lived here during the last years of her life. Royals and nobles came here to visit this remote cliff sanctuary and make the pilgrimage up the hill. This act of devotion to Maria Magdalena was so popular that a “Royal Road” was created to make the pilgrimage easier. The beautiful landscape that take us to the holy grotto was called “Mother Dragon” by the Celts.

Our intentions as we climb through the royal road is to activate within us the balance of Divine Feminine (Magdalen) and Divine Masculine (Dragons).

​Day 3/4 - May 9 & 10,
​​
​
We than depart to ​Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer to receive the Light Codes of the 3 Maries: Maria Magdalena, Marie-Salome, Marie-Jacobe as well the Gypsies Patron, Sara (the beloved child of Maria Magdalena and Jesus).

​Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the 'Saint Marys of the Sea', is a small fishing village located on the south-central coast of Mediterranean France in the Camargue region of Bouches-du-Rhone. Archaeological excavations and local legends indicate that the site has been venerated as a holy place by a succession of cultures including the Celts, Romans, Christians, and most recently, the Romania Gypsies. Once a sacred site of the Celtic threefold water goddess, the holy spring was known as Oppidum Priscum Ra. Superseded by a Roman temple dedicated to Mithras in the 4th century BC, the site was later taken over by the Christians. Historical sources mention a church from the 9th century but very little is known of the town's history prior to the 14th century because of its remote location. Neither is it known precisely when and why the local church became the most sacred place of the Gypsies sometime after their arrival in Europe in the early 1400's. Dating from the mid-12th century, the fortified Romanesque church enshrines three wooden statues, themselves of lesser age, that hint at the early Christian sanctity of the site. According to one local legend, after the resurrection of Christ, Maria Magdalena, Marie-Salome, Marie-Jacobe, Lazarus and several other disciples were forced, in 45 AD, to flee the Holy Land by boat. Following a perilous journey across the Mediterranean Sea, the boat eventually landed near the present day village of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, where the passengers went ashore. What next happened to the passengers is not specified in the legend but two of them, Marie-Salome and Marie-Jacobe, became, in time, objects of veneration to the local people. The church, however, enshrines three images, the additional one being of Sara-la-Kali, whose origin and identity are quite mysterious. The gypsies worship her and believe Sara to have been a powerful local queen who welcomed the tired travelers from the Holy Land, while other sources suggest she may have been an ancient pagan goddess or a black Egyptian woman who was the servant of Christ's mother Mary.

Day 5, May 11
​

Transformed by this unforgettable experience we continue our pilgrim to the Heart of the Cathar Country. The trip will be approx of 4 ½ hrs, so we will be ready to retired after check in. Sweet Dreams!

The Cathars, the peaceful ‘heretics of the Languedoc’ of Southern France, who were them?

The Cathars called themselves Pure Ones after the Goddess known as the Pure One, their term for the Virgin Great Creator Mother Mary (meaning ‘love’). The reason the Church resorted to the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of Cathars most certainly had to do with their alternative views about Jesus.

They claimed to possess a secret Book of Love (Mary, TARA). This mysterious manuscript is attributed to Jesus who gave it to John the Divine. It was transmitted through the centuries until the Knights Templar and the Cathars adopted it. The Book of Love was the foundation of the Cathar Church of Love or Amor (the reverse of Roma). 

The existence of this lost (or hidden) gospel was revealed when the Catholic Church subjected the Cathars and Templar (in 1308) to torture. Its contents were a secret skill (symbolized by the Templar skull) said to grant one the ability to control the forces of nature and to transform ordinary human blood into that of the wise, holy and pure blood of life of the immortal Illi. It is equated with the Holy Grail.

Day 6, May 12

​
Still in the Cathar's land ....

The Jesus Code

According to Catharic belief, one object of Earth life was to make over the human body as a worthy vehicle for the light of the Holy Spirit (love). The point was to know the Grail not as a cup but as a process. Jesus was its modeler. Insight into this teaching radiates from the name of the Cathar’s home, the Languedoc. Named after the pre-Flood language system the Cathar priests claimed Jesus preached in—the Language of Oc (possibly short for occamy, a corruption of alchemy) -- this place name is Cathar Jesus code.

Webster’s says ‘Oc’ is the root of octo, 8, and ocular, the eye. A related Egyptian word, Ak, means ‘light’, and aker means ‘light being’. Ak-hu is the archetypal Cosmic Man of Light, or ideal archetype of humanity found in a host of Hermetic and Gnostic teachings, whether Egyptian, Jewish, Christian or Islamic. As Mircea Eliade notes in Shamanism, among the Iglulik Eskimos, who were driven out of some unknown homeland, a sequence of initiations concludes with the ang-ak-oq (virtually the same word as Languedoc or L’ang-ak-oq), meaning ‘lightening’ or ‘illumination’.

This angakoq, writes Eliade, consists of, “a mysterious light which the shaman suddenly feels in his body, inside his head, within his brain, an inexplicable searchlight, a luminous fire which enables him to see with both eyes, both literally and metaphorically speaking, for he can now, even with closed eyes, see through darkness and perceive things and coming events which are hidden from others.” The emphasis here is on eyes and light.

Enlightenment is exactly what the Cathars claimed they received from the highly symbolic Language of Oc. As an investigative mythologist, it is of great interest to me that the Egyptian hieroglyph of the heron/phoenix, , the ‘bird of light’ (akh), so closely matches the stylized fish glyph of Jesus , though it predates him by millennia. In addition, these two symbols are structurally identical to, the mathematical sign sometimes used for infinity, which spells OC. It is the root for ‘octo’ or 8. These symbols suggest a continuous transmission of knowledge of the secrets of light. By William Henry

Day 7, May 13
​

After a restfull night we travel again to Couiza, we gather in circle to open our hearts and welcome the transmissions of love and light we are about to receive. In each step of our pilgrimage we create new levels of a vibrational field, and each level takes us to our true self, the Cosmic Man/Woman of Light.

In this loving field we welcome my dear friends Sus Krassel and Kaj 
Lilliendal, our guides to high levels of awareness. Sus and Kaj have dedicated over 15 years of their life's searching, studying and observing the hidden messages left by the masters builders of Maria Magdalena church.  Their book,  Rennes-le-Chateau, Maria Magdalena and the Master Builders, will take you through a journey of  sacred and secrets,  left for those like us, willing to take a leap of faith and follow the call of our inner voice, a voice that knows we are ready to rise.

I higly recommend you to read their book in preparation for our time with them. There is so much to learn and experience during our 3 days with Sus and Kaj, the more you prepare, the more you will be able to received.

Many of you have watched the movie,
The Da Vinci Code (if you haven't I recommend) and have heard their short interpretation about the Rennes-le-Chateau, Mary Magdalena Church.  This morning we will explore and learn all about it through the 15 years of Sus and Kaj studies. The life of  Sauniere and its mysteries, getting a sense of the place and its history, an important introduction before we walk through the portals of initiations hidden in small details.

The afternoon is dedicated to a presentation called “The House of Wisdom” through  Sacred Geometry, Leylines, Standing Stones, Sound and Light, Symbols, Myths, Legends, Stories and Initiations we will start to better understand how the masters of the past lived and connected with the Divine and how we can enter through the portals.

Time to process, integrate, rest. Sweet Dreams!

 ​Time to process, integrate, rest. Sweet Dreams!
Day 9, May 15
​​

The Portals of Light continue to open for us, today through the Gorges des Galamus. In the heart of the Pyrenees mountains, the Gorge De Galamus is an amazing cavernous slope with a sparkling river beneath balconies of stone. Serpentine twists in the road reveal spectacular views of the natural limestone caves. Celtic Shamans lived and meditated in these caves, believing to be portals to the Otherworld. Here we will partake of the special energies in this intriguing sanctuary, with its enigmatic magic square carved in stone and shrine dedicated to Maria Magdalena.

Fontaine des Amours
It's beleive that Maria Magdalena baptised people and initiationed them into early Christianity - Jesus Christianity. At Le Benitier which means - Baptismal Font a place where two rivers meet, the Sals and the Blanque, we will connect with the energy of these holy waters and its medicine, and allow its pure properties to bless and baptise us into our new path of Priest/Priestess of Maria Magdalena and the Dragons. 
Picture
After lunch, we complete our sacred journey through a meditative  walk leading us to The Chair of Isis and The Chair of Osiris. These old chairs have been placed on powerful points of energy in a big sacred pattern around the two Rennes. One of the chairs is connected to the Earth and the other to the Heaven – Divine Female and Male.

This will be our final Initiation. Bring your vows to Maria Magdalena Christ Consciousness to walk in beauty and in integrity to the Divine Being You Are.

End of the Day, Traveling to Toulouse 
Day 10, May 16

As we complete our sacred pilgrimage, having taken time out from our fast-paced, stressed lives, we have been given many possibilities for a new future. We have received an abundance of blessings, inspiration and initiations, beyond what we imagined to be possible. We have released and transcended past, limiting beliefs, thereby freeing ourself to live into a new future.

A Course in Miracle's defines a Church as those that are joined In the mind as Christ Consciousness. Our Ceremonies: Initiations, baptism, and anoiting, guided us to the knowning and being part of Sara's Code of Light and Maria Magdalena Priestesshood. We are now a congregation and our Heart is our Temple where Love and the Divine Feminine and Masculine abide beautifully balanced. 

Our journey has taken you to experience the sacred and that which lives magically alive. You have been invited into living your life as that which you have experienced. 

Safe travels!

In a Sacred Relationship We Remain, Vera

3 DAYS OPTIONAL IN THE CITY OF LIGHT - PARIS

Join us on an enchanting three-day journey through Paris, where we will delve into the rich history of the ancient Parisii tribe in the historic city of Lutece, now known as Paris. Once dedicated to Isis, the Goddess, and later to Mary, the Virgin Mother, our adventure will follow the footsteps of the Divine Feminine and reconnect with the ancestral memories of the Druids, Cathars, and Templars.
​

We will harness the mystical energy lines at La Madeleine, Montmartre, Notre-Dame de Paris, St. Sulpice, St. Germain des Prés, and Chartres Cathedral. If the opportunity arises, we will walk the powerful labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral. Our journey will include a visit to the Louvre, where we will marvel at its world-renowned art collections, including the illuminated paintings of the Renaissance and ancient Egypt exhibits.
At the Cluny Museum, we will encounter the "Lady with the Unicorn" tapestries, which beautifully depict the six senses.

For those who have previously visited Chartres Cathedral and felt a profound sense of returning, you may recall the sensation of ancient mysteries unfolding in every carving, with animated swirls of song greeting you in the silence of your mind. The light from the stained glass windows softly touches you, reminding you of the pilgrimage, the path within and without, and the way of the heart.

Chartres Cathedral stands on powerful earth energies. It is believed that a great school, possibly a Druid learning center, once stood beneath the Gothic structure. Before that, there might have been a stone circle aligned to a planetary passage, harnessing information for future generations.
Today, Chartres Cathedral is a majestic sight from afar, perched on a high promontory that indicates yang energy. The presence of a sacred healing well adds yin energy. This well, known for its healing properties, still exists today, although it was blocked a few centuries ago.

These sacred wells and inner earth waterways contain waters that have never been rain or ocean but have always remained within the Earth. They are powerful in restoring health, carrying the resonance and memory matrix of the planet, and containing minerals that can activate your body's potential to regenerate and heal (though not all church wells should be drunk from, it is essential to connect with them spiritually).
When strong telluric currents meet with inner earth waterways, geodesic spirals cause waters to surge to the surface as sacred wells. Ancient civilizations built places dedicated to the Divine, as well as schools and hospitals, over these sites to maximize the benefits of these sacred energies.
​
Chartres is also known as the seat of the Divine Mother, or the Divine Feminine on Earth. Today, the Veil of the Divine Mother is displayed in a chapel dedicated to Mary. Sacred waters from deep within the Earth are like the milk of the Goddess, nurturing and calling us to remember our true nature and potential. This aligns with the cosmic energies from beyond the Sun.

Additionally, we will explore the path of Love encoded within the Chartres labyrinth, embodying sacred geometrical patterns and the Grail Quest—the journey home. This experience is akin to the feeling of absolute bliss when you find a beloved who embodies the essence of your spiritual journey, giving you a sense of having 'arrived home' after an epic quest.

History, myths, and legends guide us, but to truly understand, you must experience it. Say yes and truly listen:
to that song that has been waiting just for you, for only you have heard it before you came here...
​
Allow the place and its Guardians of memory to speak to you.
