Our White Stone And Anointing Ceremony in my opinion is one of our most transformational services of the year.
I believe a ritual is an outer experience of some type of inner change. That’s what the White Stone Ceremony is for me.
The ritual is based on sculpture from Revelations 2:17: “They that hath an ear, let them hear what the Spirit said unto the churches; to they that overcometh will I give to eat the hidden manna, and will give them a white stone and in the stone a new name written, which no person knowth saving they that receiveth it.” (Adapted from King James Version.) Symbolically, the stone represents freedom. As was custom in ancient days during slavery in the Holy Land, a prisoner was given a white stone when he was freed from servitude as a token of his freedom. On his stone was a new name that he would take in this new life.
During the White Stone Mediation, each participate holds a white stone (actually from Jerusalem) in the palm of their hand, allowing the Spirit within to reveal a New Name that is to be worked with during the year. I have been amazed at what my Spirit within has revealed during these precious White Stone Meditations. Faith, Strength, Change are among the many names that have been revealed to me.
What will your symbolic New Name be this year? We hope you can join us January 7, 2024 at 11am!
