Ra Rising Date: Thursday,  May 1 Time: 7:30 - 9:30 PM Price: $35 Presenter: Melissa Applegate The ancient Egyptians equated the sun, "Ra," with ascension and immortality.  Sacred rites, such as the tcheref (a yogic asana) and the raising of the djed pillar during the heb-seb jubilee, symbolized sacred knowledge that enabled the initiate to achieve the radiant or imperishable body (known as the diamond or rainbow body in other cultures).  On this "Day of Ascension" (May 1st), the energy is especially auspicious for learning and engaging in the mystical practices of the ancient Egyptians developed over 5,000 years ago.  Melissa is the author of The Egyptian Book of Life: Symbolism of Ancient Egyptian Temple and Tomb Art.   .
