APRIL 21st (Vampyrian TUVUP) AKA Earth Day
Spiritual Father: The Day of Re Awakening is to celebrate and welcome the Season of new life, of the Re Awakening of the energies of the sleeping Earth. On a larger scale, it's the recognition and utilization of our own Re Awakenings Each passing day you Re Awaken to old knowledge; you open your eyes to new realizations.
Hail to the Re Awakenings!
Spiritual Mother: Everything that is lies within the sleeping mind as our spirits carry with us the experience of each lifetime and within us lays the key to many locked doors. During the Gatherings, it has become a tradition to burn a door. This symbolizes the casting away of that which separates; through this casting away we become united, not only with one another, but with that knowledge and wisdom that lies sleeping within us.
