A Light in the Darkness

With Advent coming up at the end of November, I just thought I'd share this little book I made for a personal home Advent practice for Gnostics. There's a blessing for the wreath before Advent begins, and then prayers and meditations for each Sunday of Advent. It should prove useful to myself, and I hope it can be useful to others as well!

A Light in the Darkness: a home Advent practice for Gnostics

I'm also working on book on the Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel, which will include, in addition to the chaplet itself, lots of information on the 9 choirs of angels; information on the traditional 7 archangels that rule the days of the week (as recognized by the Orthodox Church), with special attention to the 4 main archangels which Gnostics honor liturgically four times a year (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel); and a section of diverse angelic prayers, including the prayers of the St. Michael Chaplet in English and Latin, novenas, litanies, and many other prayers. The book will be a bit longer than the Rosary and Advent books I made, and will be pocket sized... So if you're interested in learn how to honor the 9 choirs of angels with this beautiful chaplet, look for a link coming soon! The version of the chaplet given in the book will, of course, be geared toward Gnostics; but if you're interested in learning about the traditional Catholic version, here's a link for you:
