OPERATION SUNSHINE

Until the 24th of June (or later, if you like) the operation "Solar Shine" begins. Which focuses on the three divine feminine forms of the Hexorian Movement.

We invite you to fellowship with them at their altars, temples, and in their cities. To follow their stamps in their cities in order to strengthen the hexorian network in their communities and above all to embody the ideals that these figures represent.

Let us remember:

SANTA CLARA: Is the Guide to the Underworld. The promise of new hope and a new dawn.

ELLEORA: Power the digital and electric grid of our cities. The lights that literally light up the night.

ARCADIA: It is the promise of an integrated world, the balance between the mundane and the divine, the material and the natural, finally the world we aspire to build.

Go and make offerings and works inspired by these deities to celebrate the arrival of Summer, the time of year when the sun is brighter and the darkness is less.

Let Operation Sunshine begin.
