Arcana of the Week

As we are ready, videos of Arcanas will be made available so that you can practice them and build a body for them within yourself.

ARCANA
The term “arcana” comes from the Latin arcanus. It means that which is hidden, esoteric, secret, belonging to the science of the Mysteries.

In Essene Wisdom, the word arcana refers to a precise posture of the body that has a magical, divine value. In Essene culture, a particular, exact posture can embody an idea, a force, a God, and manifest its energy and blessing through the human body.

For example, one can speak of taking on the posture of Isis…

The body is above all an instrument that allows certain influences to be manifested and made concrete in subtle or visible worlds. This art is directly linked to the science and practice of magical and therapeutic arts.

Arcana and Energy Movements

An arcana is different from an energy movement.

An energy movement is closer to the physical body, whereas an arcana touches the mystery of the soul and a higher sacred writing.

Energy movements are an introduction, a way to prepare, cleanse, heal and harmonize oneself, and the arcanas are the gateway that allows one to enter into a higher consciousness, into the Temple of the Gods. These Gods are the higher principles that govern the destiny of man.

These 22 Gods are hidden behind the 22 Commandments given by Archangel Gabriel during the celebration of the Round of the Archangels in 2010. It was on that solemn occasion that Olivier Manitara transmitted the 22 Commandments of Archangel Gabriel and a great body of teachings that accompany them, notably the 22 energy movements and the 22 arcanas.

An arcana naturally has a magical, sacred, divine dimension. By taking on the posture of an intelligence, an influence, a divinity, the practitioner becomes the receptacle of that energy and can manifest it.

Of course, the technique must first be mastered. An arcana is above all a secret that remains hidden to ordinary understanding. It must be penetrated through discipline, training and mastery of the know-how.

The Science of Arcanas

There exists a great number of arcanas that correspond to specific situations, states of soul and of being, to hierarchies of the invisible worlds, and to the results one wishes to obtain.

The idea is simple: by taking the posture and gesture of the “stable man,” for example, I attract the influence of the spirits, the genii, the egregores and the Gods who govern stability. If I do this regularly, I will build for myself a body that links me to this intelligence of the stable man.

The applications of this wisdom are manifold and can act in many domains as varied as education, formation, inner work, the improvement of one’s existence, therapy, self-mastery, and action upon certain events of life…
