Ecclesia Gnostica Spiritualis Pendants
Ecclesia Gnostica Spiritualis has created a pendant for this event to commemorate their first meeting of the Synod of Bishops of the 21st Century.
Hand-finished in open-backed sterling silver encasing a symbol of our Church as recently interpreted by artist and Gnostic Bishop Hagen von Tulien, laid into a synthetic amethyst.
Each were personally blessed in the season of Lent 2018 by Michael Bertiaux with assistance from Tau Nicodemus and Tau Oma Iadnamad in Chicago, IL.
The 1st Limited Edition of this pendant consists of just 20 pieces which come with a hand-numbered certificate of authenticity. Of this edition, 5 have been sent to one of our churches in Germany, so only 15 will be available at this event.
These are available to EGS clergy, Monastery of the Seven Rays students and members of the Hyde Park Lodge.
A portion of profits from the sales of this item will be donated to Alley Cat Allies.
These will be available Saturday.
Price – $300

ONE Black Lotus Kult All Saints Amulet (!)
Photo by Hagen von Tulien
In unpacking a from recent move of the BLK Library, we found one reserved but unclaimed All Saints Amulet!
The first wave of an intended small edition of these were released in 2013. The edition was never completed due to the death of legendary jewelry designer Mark Defrates.
Each of these sterling silver amulets are handmade, one of a kind items. Mark pasted the design onto sheet, drilled and cut them out using non-powered tools, and then stamped with hand punches and worked the piece with files and small tools. To finish, the bail was hard-soldered, and then they were given a hand-polish. It was very labor-intensive compared to letting a computer and machine do it, but this is what Mark and his wife demanded to ensure the quality they desired.
The design is based on Hagen von Tulien’s stunning “Black Lotus Kult” artwork. Each of these pendants were personally charged by Michael Bertiaux, and given a blessing by him of “Love, Joy and Prosperity” for the new owner. These were then charged in a “Typhonian Tantric” ritual by Black Lotus Kult, and further blessed in a mass of the Ecclesia Gnostica Spiritualis.
In respect to Mark, these will never be reproduced by another jeweler, thus is is the only edition of this artwork.
Price – $1000 (Note – Only ONE available!)
