Temple of the Twelve

[windinthemaples]

A few days ago, I finished reading elfinecstasy's Flight of Colors. I received Novice of Colors and the corresponding experiential journal in the mail the next day and now I'm all fired up and ready to start working through the two a chapter, a moon at a time. Would you be interested in joining me? :)

I plan to shadow Caroline's journey by spending a month's time (from new moon to new moon) on each Color's task. This Saturday will mark the beginning of my Black month where I'll be answering the questions in the experiential journal, creating my self-portrait, and finding ways to serve the essence of Black.

:)

That's my big plan, as it stands. :)

Yes, I'd like to do this, too! I already read Temple of the Twelve but would read it again to go through the Experiential Journal. :) The new moon is Saturday?

[sugarmaplelife.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is! I'd *love* the chance to work through the material with you. :) :) :)

I'm excited! I hope your first night goes well! *hugs*

I am so excited about this I can't even stand my own self, and if you have any questions - or if there is anything I can do to help in any way - I am here. LOVE to you both.

Well, feel free to chime in anytime. I'm going to try and post regularly to my journal and to the Temple of the Twelve community as the months progress. :) Maybe that'll inspire others to work with the colors, too!

By the way - to both of you - some people have found as they go through the workbook, that they don't want to work with the colors in the order that they appeared to Caroline. They want to work with whatever color draws/calls them that moon, and so they skip around the chapters accordingly.
That's fine if it works better for you!

Thank you! I guess we'll see how it unfolds. :D

Where can I get the books? I googled and tried Amazon with no luck. Would love to at least read the first book.

[sugarmaplelife.livejournal.com]

Here's the first book on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Temple-Twelve-1-Novice-Colors/dp/0977418189/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_3) and the corresponding workbook is here (http://www.amazon.com/Temple-Twelve-Esmerelda-Little-Flame/dp/0977418170/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_4). I worked out of order and read her second book, Flight of Colors (http://www.amazon.com/Temple-Twelve-2-Flight-Colors/dp/0982397178/ref=pd_sim_b_1), first and that worked out well for me, too. (Though there's no workbook with the second book in the series.)

Sweet, thanks.

[elfinecstasy.livejournal.com]

Also, I added you to my friends list, hope you don't mind :-)

[lilith42.livejournal.com]

NP, just be prepared for a lot of possible baby talk and the occasional long rant. ;)

This is SO exciting! You know I am in, my friend Cindi and I have started already, and I am so excited that you are taking the journey also. How Wonderful!

[sugarmaplelife.livejournal.com]

Are you working on a month to month schedule? Does this mean that you're about done with Black? :) I look forward to reading about your experiences--very much! :)

[folkchick3.livejournal.com]

Well, we missed a week because my job keeps interfering with my LIFE (lol) so we are almost through the Questions but haven't done the prayer or the ritual part, so we have probably two weeks left on Black. We are off track with the acutal moon phases, but my schedule is so weird that we just meet whenever we can, correct moon phase or no. We did do our self portraits, they are on the Temple site already. I am so excited!

[sugarmaplelife.livejournal.com]

Oh, how wonderful! It must be great to be able to get together and work in person. :)

[folkchick3.livejournal.com]

It really is wonderful. I mean, we have just started, but it is really good motivation to do things as we know that we are going to meet to discuss them.

My self portrait is here....

How wonderful! I loved the image of you existing as a colorless vessel, just waiting to be refilled and reinvented every day. :) Thank you for sharing something to personal, so profound. :)

[rubymulligan.livejournal.com]

MEEEEE. But alas, I haven't read it. YET. Soon!

[sugarmaplelife.livejournal.com]

I haven't read it, either. I'm working through the journal and the book simultaneously, reading/working on a chapter a month. So...you're not behind at all! :)

[willow-cabin.livejournal.com]

Rhi, I'll try to send you the book asap <3

[sidheblessed.livejournal.com]

I would be, as soon as I get my hands on a copy of Elf's books.

I shall see about talking to my husband about the moneys.

[sugarmaplelife.livejournal.com]

I think the first month, especially, can work well without access to the books. It's more about self-knowledge and sorta assessing where you are, who you are, and how you feel about the mystery of Black. :)

I'd love the chance to work through the books with you. :)
