The Windstar Season, part of the 5 Mt System of Miryai, is a 73-day spiritual system rooted in the wisdom of African, European, and American traditions, beginning on the first new or full moon between June 1 and June 16. It consists of five 15 day fortnights, each aligned with a phase of the moon and one of five elemental themes and three stages of a 15-stage alchemical process, interpreted through a Jungian lens as a path to psychological individuation, embodied by the mythos of Sophia in Gnostic traditions. The system prioritizes self-guided growth, using reflective practices and Sophia’s narrative to foster transformation. Associated traditions provide minor contextual influence. 

The Summer Session entails a fifteen stage unfolding of:

• The Alchemic-Jungian spiritual system
• Spiritual history of the African-European region.
• Spiritual practices and rituals of its esoteric traditions
• The Mythos of Sophia the archetype of enlightenment from this region.

Each fortnight focuses on three stages of the 15-stage alchemical process, an elemental theme, and a segment of Sophia’s mythos, with associated traditions as secondary influences. A brief overview of the alchemical area covered is included.

1. Wind+Wind: Initial Purification (June 1–15) 
   - Focus: Stages 1–3 (Preparation, Calcination, Dissolution) initiate transformation by setting intentions, dismantling the ego, and releasing repressed emotions, aligned with the wind element. Influenced by Gnostic Sethites and Isis Cult. 
   - Alchemical Area: Preliminaries—establishing intent, confronting the shadow, and dissolving psychological barriers to prepare for individuation. 
   - Sophia’s Mythos: Her emanation from the Pleroma and desire to create mirror the initial call to self-discovery.

2. Wind+Zephyr: Discernment and Integration (June 16–30) 
   - Focus: Stages 4–6 (Separation, Conjunction, Putrefaction) emphasize isolating core aspects of the psyche, uniting opposites, and facing the shadow’s depths, aligned with the zephyr element. Influenced by Neo-Platonism and early Monasticism. 
   - Alchemical Area: Differentiation and Unification—separating true from false self, integrating ego and shadow, and confronting psychological depths for rebirth. 
   - Sophia’s Mythos: Her creation of an imperfect form and entrapment in Chaos reflect confronting and integrating inner conflicts.

3. Wind+Earth: Awakening Transformation (July 1–15) 
   - Focus: Stages 7–9 (Fermentation, Distillation, Coagulation) spark higher consciousness, refine insights, and ground them into a stable personality, aligned with the earth element. Influenced by Medieval Alchemists and Carmelite Monastics. 
   - Alchemical Area: Awakening and Refinement—igniting spiritual growth through inspiration, purifying insights, and stabilizing psychological progress. 
   - Sophia’s Mythos: Her rescue by a savior and unveiling of light mirror the awakening of higher awareness.

4. Wind+Water: Deepening Integration (July 16–30) 
   - Focus: Stages 10–12 (Sublimation, Solution, Ceration) elevate instincts, revisit unconscious material, and cultivate psychological flexibility, aligned with the water element. Influenced by Rosicrucians and Hildegard of Bingen. 
   - Alchemical Area: Elevation and Flexibility—transforming base impulses, deepening purification, and fostering adaptability for continued growth. 
   - Sophia’s Mythos: Her guidance of humanity through Zoe reflects deepening integration and sharing wisdom.

5. Wind+Fire: Full Individuation (July 31–August 12) 
   - Focus: Stages 13–15 (Fixation, Multiplication, Projection) solidify lasting change, amplify transformative power, and manifest the individuated Self, aligned with the fire element. Influenced by Jungian psychology. For details, see [15-Stage Alchemical Process](#15-stage-alchemical-process). 
   - Alchemical Area: Culmination and Manifestation—establishing permanent psychological change, extending influence to others, and living as a fully integrated Self. 
   - Sophia’s Mythos: Her glorification and union with the Anointed embody complete individuation.

Sophia, a Gnostic archetype of enlightenment, is the spiritual model of the Windstar Season. Emerging from the divine Pleroma, she sought to create independently, fell into Chaos, and was redeemed, guiding humanity toward wisdom. Her journey from error to glorification parallels the 15-stage alchemical process, reflecting the path to individuation. Her story aligns with each fortnight’s stages. For her full narrative, see [Sophia’s Mythos](#sophia-mythos).

The Windstar Season centers on the alchemical process, interpreted through Jungian psychology and linked to Sophia’s Gnostic mythos, with minor influences from traditions like Gnosticism and Monasticism. These provide contextual support for the 15-stage process and elemental framework. For a detailed historical overview, see [Historical Context](#historical-context).

The season begins on the first new or full moon between June 1 and June 16, with fortnights starting every 14 days. Practitioners engage in daily reflective practices, focusing on the elemental theme and three stages of the alchemical process, as detailed in linked resources.
