Enneadic Star Pronaos
Mobile Site Navigation
"Man is the free agent to choose whether he will work in harmony with the universal law of rhythm, or whether he will choose rightly or wrongly. But the result of his choice will automatically follow, and this inevitable result constitutes a manifestation of the law of compensation.
"He who chooses rightly and works in harmony with the law becomes the master of his fate, while he who fails to choose rightly and works out of harmony with the law is a slave to fate and a victim of destiny unconsciously created"
- Harvey Spencer Lewis
Enneadic Star Pronaos (ESP) continues the tradition of maintaining an AMORC affiliated body in the Portland area. This tradition extends back at least to 1923, beginning with a chartered Oregon lodge in Portland, which for a long time was called Portland Rose Lodge and later Enneadic Star Lodge. Responding dynamically to the needs of the times, it subsequently operated as a Chapter and then a Pronaos over the years, with several changes of meeting location.
We now have in-person meetings at Frog Pond Grange in Wilsonville and also at Parkrose Lodge in Portland.
We also meet virtually over Zoom, usually on Saturday or Sunday afternoons with videos for members only. Please check the Rosicrucian Community Events site (https://rosicruciancommunity.org/events) for details; new events are added weekly.
*COVID masking requirements: We follow the Oregon State Health Authority guidelines on masking for our meetings. Currently, masks are NOT required for our meetings, although members and non-members may still mask if they wish.
Latest Updates:
Have you attended three or more meetings of Enneadic Star Pronaos? If yes, you may wish to be officially initiated into our membership. There is a special ceremony that we perform to do this initiation, and we need to know in advance how many people will take this initiation. A maximum of five candidates may be initiated at one time, so please reply ASAP. The initiation date is Sunday, June 9th 2024, at Wilsonville Frogpond. Directions can be found at:
https://sites.google.com/amorc.rosicrucian.org/rosicruciansinoregon...
To be initiated into the Pronaos, you MUST apply in writing. Please send an email to pronaos Master Anjala Ehelebe (oregon@amorc.rosicrucian.org) if you wish to join our Pronaos and we will check our attendance records to verify your qualification.
You may only attend this ceremony if you are a Candidate or a Witness. To attend as a Witness, you must have previously been initiated into this Pronaos.
Important note: this is NOT A DEGREE INITIATION, for a degree initiation you must go to a Lodge. Schedules of Degree Initiations are found on the Rosicrucian Community events website.

Event: Learn about Kirtan Chanting and Bhakti Yoga: A sacred sound workshop!
Led by Kavita Kat Macmillan, local teacher of Kirtan chanting, she will cover the history and basics of Bhakti music and sacred sound. She will lead vocal exercises and songs with a drone instrument (the Tanpura) and/or a harmonium. We will have a lot of fun and participants will gain much more knowledge about this path.

Let us rejoice in nature with a guided walk by Master Anjala at Steigerwald Nature park!
Sunday, May 19th, 9:00 a.m., join Anjala Ehelebe for easy, accessible birding and nature lore at Steigerwald National Wildlife Refuge. All are welcome; this will be geared for beginning to intermediate level birders.
Meeting Location: the parking lot for Steigerwald Lake NWR is off SR 14 east of Washougal (45.571534, -122.320238). I'll have a bright banner so you can find me. The main Refuge entrance has a parking lot with one ADA van accessible spot/unloading area and one additional ADA accessible parking spot on the east side of the lot near the trailhead kiosk.
34301 SE Lewis and Clark Hwy Washougal, WA 98671

The birdwalk can be a 3.5 mile out and back hike at a 1 A classification for speed and slope (relatively slow and flat terrain) but we'll adjust for the abilities of those who come.
Dress for possible sun, wind and/or rain.
You may wish to download the Merlin application onto your cell phone, it helps identify birds by sounds and colors. E-bird is a fun one, and so is iNaturalist.
Bring your binoculars and bird i.d. books. Also a water bottle. The restrooms are near the parking lot but there are none in the refuge, so hydrate mindfully.
Please contact Anjala at oregon@amorc.rosicrucian.org to RSVP so she knows to wait for you.

The language of our Inner Voice, by presenter Soror Ese Magege:
Following our experiment on Vibroturgy, with results that depended on developing our psychic senses, we now offer this Rosicrucian video.
When we make decisions, a little voice from our subconscious mind may speak to us. Occasionally, we listen, and at other times, we choose to follow our conscious mind. This video explores ways to recognize the Inner Voice and cultivate a habit of true listening to allow the Spiritual Self to guide us.
When we struggle with a decision, pausing and asking ourselves, “What will love do?” may be all we require to expand our mental state.
