12 Holy Days of Christmas
Light and darkness… knowing and unknowing… expansion and contraction—creation is always happening now.
The universe is not a finished product but a living work in progress. We, too, are never complete; we are an unfolding evolution of consciousness. Every moment is an act of creation, and we are co-creators within it.
When we recognize that creation is a present–continuous movement, we step into both responsibility and possibility. We are not simply the result of the past or the architects of a distant future, we are active participants in the sacred now, constantly shaping and being shaped by the dynamic flow of creation.
Each day invites us to enter one of the Twelve Gates of Stella Maris, Mother Mary as the Seed of Creation. As we walk these gates, we step into the Domain of the Sacred Light of Mary and receive a specific creation frequency.
These 12 days also seal within us the vibration of the mystical number 13, 12 Holy Days + our own active participation.
This union activates the creative power of the Aramaic–Hebrew letter Mem, the womb-letter that unifies our creative life-force with the generative currents of the Celestial Realm. Through this union, we enter a powerful journey of conscious co-creation, crafting our future in the present moment under the guidance of the 12 Forces of Creation gifted to us by Mother Mary.
During these days, we receive the radiance that will pour into the 12 months ahead, illuminating our path with clarity, purpose, devotion, and infinite possibility.
This is the essence of Shiviti Adonai, the revelation and grounding of the Soul’s Divine Matrix into physical form. Through this sacred passage, we anchor our Light, our purpose, and our destiny into the world.
As of November 30th (and traditionally beginning on the evening of the 29th), Advent begins. Advent means “a coming,” “an arrival,” and in Gnostic Christianity this arrival is not only about a historical event, it is the awakening of the inner Christ, the quiet stirring of the soul preparing for the Baptism of Light.
On the first day of Advent, the presence of Mother Anna becomes especially powerful within the energetic field of the Earth. She stands beside us as a guardian and midwife of this Light Conception.
And throughout the entire season, from the first candle of Advent to the twelfth day of Gnostic Christmas, we are held beneath the mantle of Mother Mary, the Divine Mother of Light. Her presence blesses, guides, and surrounds all twelve days, infusing them with compassion, protection, and the luminous grace of her Immaculate Heart.
When the four weeks of Advent come to completion, we cross a threshold into the 12 Holy Days of Christmas. Each of these days is under the spiritual influence of one of the twelve zodiacal hierarchies. In Biblical Astrology, aligning with these archetypes invites us to receive their mysteries and imprint their wisdom upon our lives.
During these days, we also attune ourselves to the Creation Frequencies within Aramaic Mysticism. The journey prepares us for the ancient festival of the Epiphany on January 6th, the Sacrament of the Baptism of Light. In early Christianity, this day was considered the most significant celebration of the entire year.
Some Biblical Astrology traditions also associate each of the twelve days with one of the Apostles, inviting reflection on their mission and spiritual legacy.

Each of these twelve days unfolds under the watchful blessing of Mother Mary, who is known in mystical tradition as the Keeper of the Twelve Lights.
Her presence ensures that what we receive during these days becomes integrated into our soul and anchored in the body. She is the one who nurtures the Christ Seed within us, tenderly guiding its growth.
I truly believe in the Power of Light Conception as part of a new humanity, one that is learning to birth Light through consciousness, devotion, and embodiment.
During these 12 days of Gnostic Christmas, I will guide you through the teachings, transmissions, and Light Initiations that Mother Anna has entrusted me to share, all under the mantle of Mother Mary, whose blessing enlivens every step of the journey.
We will enter the Gates of Stella Maris, the Star of the Sea, Mother Mary as the Carrier of Light Creation, each day connected to one of her 12 transmissions.
