The Summer season concentrates on Gnostic and Jungian worldviews and other traditions from the Egyptian, African, Pagan Europe and American regions. These are the areas that the Mayan, Egyptian, Ethiopian, and pagan Europe evolved, as well as Monasticism like that of Thomas Merton, Teressa of Avila and Hildegard of Bingen. Manichaean influenced European groups like the Paulicians, Bogomils, Cathars as well, with some worthwhile ideas arising in masonry, Rosicrucianism, Knights Templar, Golden Dawn, and other such esoterics lodges. The major influence is from the Gnostic schools of Egypt (Sethites), Neo-Platonist from Egypt,  Jung, a self proclaimed "gnostic", bought many of the original manuscripts from Nag  Hammadhi and even wrote a Gnostic scripture.

Jung's Redbook and the Nag Hammadhi and Pistis Sophia are important texts. The symbolic script is Coptic. (Each Fornight has 5 day Nodes and dates are +-7.)

This season highlights the Jungian and Gnostic Path, and to some extent the Carmelite and Hildegard of Bingen tradition, during its 72 day period. The goal of Jungianism is individualization, and of balancing the ego with the unconscious Self. This goal is addressed in various ways during this Summer period with a focus on making each of us more aware of the Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious, as well as our Shadow, Persona, Ego, Anima and Self during its five fortnight periods. (This season observes fasts at the end of each quarter moon, every seventh day, and during dark moons)
The 5 fortnights concentrate on the 5 "soul" levels outlined by Carl Jung: Shadow, Persona, Ego, Anima and Self as well as the Five Seals and Five Trees of Gnosticism.

Sucess during this five fortnite season can be measured in an increased ability to understand others, to ascertain their motives and drives as well as ones own motivations.   Long term, multi year measurements of sucess should be seen as a better and better understanding of human nature,a relative familiarity with the psyche and how the subconscious forces influence us, and a general increase in wisdom and ability to share. The symbol of this deepening understanding is the dream diary and  books, discussion tables, meeting rooms, banquet halls, feasts.
