Good Friday Spring Cleaning Ritual at the Paracelsus Center

All the last years, we met at Good Friday at the Paracelsus Center of WTT near Einsiedeln, Switzerland, for a “spring-clean” ritual, even during pandemia times. This year, we were just two but we kept up with the ritual, and we enjoyed it. When driving via Einsiedeln to the place at the Devil’s Bridge, we already saw many hikers and pilgrim on the last part of the route. And during the day there were even more – the road is part of the St. James’ Way to the famous pilgrimage centre and monastery in Einsiedeln.

As we entered the house, we noticed that the landlord had totally renovated the staircase and the space in front of the centre at the first floor. Everything was clean and there were new furniture. But the pictures with the sayings of Paracelsus were no longer hanging on the wall. Also the Paracelsus picture needed a better place.

So we thought of having a look at the placements of all images, finding new and better places. But first we started with chanting OM and inner aligning to the energies – an inner cleaning before the outer cleaning:

The different stones and statues in the centre were given a bath…
Floor and furniture were cleaned with water and rose water…
The picture of Paracelsus got a new place in front of the entrance door.

The landlord came for a chat and gave some help, bringing nails, hammer, yardstick and level.

The sayings of Paracelsus found a new place in the kitchen…
And the Healing Prayer a new place near the shelf…
While the objects on the table were rearranged with the help of a photo.

Like in the last years, we went to Einsiedeln to the Tulipan in front of Einsiedeln Abbey, where we enjoyed lunch and observing the many visitors which had come for Good Friday. It was a hearty view – many heart statues were displayed all over the forecourt and the Marienbrunnen, the fountain of the World Mother in the form of Mary.

We did not see the Black Madonna inside, only the multiple black madonnas outside, in the kiosks along the edge of the forecourt.

On the walk back to the car, Mathilda got some Anise pie in a small cake museum.

After a short walk in nature, we returned to the centre, reading a text on the meaning of Good Friday and on the qualities of Aries.

Writing some words into the guest book

We enjoyed staying in the serene ambiance of the Paracelsus center and decided to “implant” there a bridge to Shambala: A copy of the Roerich painting “The Song of Shambala” is now waiting already to be placed there at summer equinox.

When we went home after evening meditation, there was a gorgeous sunset with many shades of colour and a rising Aries moon just after full moon.
