Description
Summary:Main file: Greaters Final 2009.doc Secondary files: Pete.doc SMF Meetings Points.doc SMF Script Preface This digital asset was provided by High Priestess Katherine Bonnabel to the Valdosta State University, Archives and Special Collections to be part of the Aquarian Tabernacle Church Collection of the New Age Movements, Occultism, and Spiritualism Research Library. The Greater Mysteries is an Epoptaic Initiation, or Mystery reserved for those that have undergone the Lesser Mysteries. It was the custom for those attending for their first year to not be allowed to participate in the Greater Mysteries. In their second year of attending they were considered Epoptai, and given a red ribbon which would allow them to participate in the Greater Mysteries. This part of the ritual drama explored the deeper psychological and religious themes of the mythology. This drama script was used for two consecutive festivals (24th (2009) and 25th (2010)).
