The Eleusinian
Mysteries:
Healing and
Transformation
Welcome Mystai! Epopteia! Mystagagos!
IACCHOS!
"We are the poets! we are the children of the
wood and stream, of mist and mountain, of sun and wind! We adore the
moon and stars, and go into the ... streets at midnight seeking Their
kisses as our birthright. We are the Greeks- and God grant ye all, my
brothers, to be as happy in your loves! -and to us the rites of
Eleusis should open the doors of Heaven, and we shall enter in and
see God face to face! alas!
Under the stars will I go forth, my brothers,
and drink of that lustral dew: I will return, my brothers, when I
have seen God face to face, and read within those eternal eyes the
secret that shall make you free.
Then will I choose you and test you and
instruct you in the Mysteries of Eleusis, oh ye brave hearts, and
cool eyes, and trembling lips! I will put a live coal upon your lips,
and flowers upon your eyes, and a sword in your hearts, and ye also
shall see God face to face.
Thus shall we give back its youth to the
world, for like tongues of triple flame we shall brood upon the Great
Deep- Hail unto the Lords of the Groves of
Eleusis!"
