Blessings of the Sun in Cancer and Happy Solstice! Below is a link to an
audio clip of Lawrence Durdin-Robertson during an FOI ritual:
Audio transcript:
"Companions on the quest for occult wisdom hidden
within the Great Deep, know that the Sign of Cancer was reverenced in remote
antiquity. In the fourth month of the Chaldea Duzu, it is the Northern Gate of
the Sun whence, at the Summer Solstice, it commences its retrograde movement.
With Scorpio and Pisces, Cancer forms the Watery Trigon. To the Coptic
Egyptians, this sign was the Power of Darkness of the Jackal Anubis, Guide of
the Dead, a Deity of Sirius. It was known as the Dark Sign with no eyes. The
Ancient Egyptians knew it as Scarabeus, the beetle Kephera that holds the mud
ball of earth. Cancer is depicted as Sacer, the Water Beetle of Immortality, in
the most ancient Zodiac known, found in the Temple of Isis in the Denderah
Temple of Hathor."
