Sisterhood of the Rose
Art by Rebecca Campbell
The rose is her language, the stars are her promise, and love is her element. Our Divine Mother is today, tomorrow, and always, infinite and unknowable, yet ever present in each of us.
As an ancient school of mysteries, a group of dedicated initiates, and a sacred lore of Divine Femininity, the Order of the Rose is here for its second rebirth, for its long-prophesied second coming.
On the etheric level, the Order of the Rose is a gathering of the highest order of souls whose mission is to help the Divine Feminine reawaken and run supreme across thousands of worlds. The Sisters of the Rose are souls who have gone to the depths of creation to master the feminine mysteries, to taste the full range of feminine magic, to experience the full spectrum of feminine archetypes, and to help transcend the female shadow, the female wound, the female cage, the female scar tissue, reemerging on the other side as beacons of feminine light. Some of the names of the Sisters in Rose are well known to you: Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, Joan of Arc, Saint Anne, goddesses Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Brigid, Rhiannon, Isis, Kuan Yin, Green Tara, Sarasvati, and Pele, among others. Some remain a distant collective memory, such as the Hathors and the oracles of Delphi; many are forgotten entirely. This doesn't make their path any less important, or their contribution any less meaningful. The Sisters in Rose number in the thousands, each one a unique expression of female divinity, each one a gift to this world.
The Sisters of the Rose came before us to walk the walk. Some were ostracized, belittled, and ridiculed, while others were revered, lauded, and admired. Regardless, the sisters were powerful souls who often served as the way-showers, wisdom collectors, planetary healers, shamans, miracle workers, saints, psychics, and creatresses. They represent the many faces of feminine power—the power to see, to hear, to know, to perceive, to receive, to love, and to heal. Joining the Order of the Rose is a great cosmic honor. It is only extended to the souls who have proven their right to walk under the Mother's wing of protection and veneration.
And so, the Path of the Rose is a sacred path of initiation into the ancient Feminine Principles, into the teachings of the Order of the Rose. It is a path of understanding the Divinity within, welcoming it, and letting it unfold.
In the solar system, the Order of the Rose is anchored by the planet Venus-the seat of the Rose, the nucleus of the Divine Feminine Network, the local ascension hub, and the point of connection with higher feminine consciousness. It is through Venusian energies that the sisters communicate with us souls incarnated on Earth, and their earthly apparitions become possible. Venus is also the sisters' local home, and is thus a portal to higher consciousness, a bridge between the imperfect reality and the perfect blueprint, the way in for the willing initiate.
The sacred teachings of the Order of the Rose transcend galaxies and are generally channeled from higher consciousness when each respective planet is ready to enter one of its many cycles of ascension. The Order of the Rose has existed on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years. Its body of knowledge is cosmic and transcendent, once anchored here by the Divine Mother herself through many of her projections and apparitions, through many of her daughters (and even sons) who followed in her footsteps.
The story goes that once upon a time, Higher Femininity established its roots in Gaia.
This happened during the Earth's formative stages, during her very infancy. Once anchored, this Divine Consciousness started growing from a seed to a sprout into a mighty tree: the Tree of Feminine Understanding. A counterpart to the Tree of Masculine Knowledge (also known as the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), this tree grew in power, biding its time, awaiting the birth of the ones discerning enough to partake in its wisdom.
As years went by and Gaia grew in strength, she brought higher beings to incarnate within her realm. One such being received wisdom from the Tree of Understanding; she became known as the first initiate of the Rose. The first initiate started writing down her insights in what later became known as the Book of the Rose, an epistle containing the Divine Mother's wisdom. The book you are currently holding is just a leaf from the original Book of the Rose, another work in a series of books written in connection with the Tree of Understanding, neither the first nor the last of its kind. And yet it was created for these exact times of the great shake-up of human consciousness, the Era of the Phoenix, the recalibration of the Star of Venus, the portal into higher consciousness, the times of the Great Divide. It is in these formative times that the energies of true understanding and not just of knowing must be anchored, must take center stage and join the cosmic dance.
It is the Divine Mother's desire that you, dear soul, start learning from her Tree of Un-derstanding, that you walk the path of the Divine Feminine and discover your hidden talents, that you join this cosmic movement and become one of its pillars. It is with this in mind that she wanted this book to be written, and it is with this in mind that you were meant to find it.
Here's to the journey stretching out in front of you!
And so it is.
