The first Arboretum Mysticum Lodge working of 2024 is a 7-week magical rite with the Cube of Space, an esoteric concept of three-dimensional reality created by the 22 building blocks of the mysteries.

As a 6-sided Platonic solid, the cube is a symbol of Tipheret, the 6th sphere on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. As such it relates to orientation, centering, balance, and the union of polarities, as illustrated in the 6-rayed star.
Each week of the working focuses on one face of the cube: its direction, planet and key, and the edges of the face. Arborists will create an invoking formula through the letters, and use the color symbolism, astrological correspondence, and direction to map and build this structure, both in the unseen about the self as a thought form, as well as in the seen, building a consecrated model to use as a magical tool.
While you are welcome to sign up week by week, Arborists are encouraged to purchase a Dedication Pass which grants access to all 7 weeks, and includes a special card mailed to each pass holder. More importantly, this is a way for Arborists to commit to the working and see it through to the end.
