The Waterstar Season, part of the 5 Mt System of Miryai, is a 73-day spiritual system rooted in the wisdom of the Eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Southeast Italy, Cyprus, Crete, Levant), beginning on the first new or full moon between January 6 and January 21. It consists of five two-week fortnights, each aligned with one of five elemental themes and three stages of a 15-stage Lurianic Kabbalah progression, a path to cosmic restoration embodied by Miryai’s mythos in Mandaean tradition. The system prioritizes self-guided growth over guru reliance, using reflective practices and Miryai’s narrative to foster transformation. Associated traditions provide minor contextual influence. The system requires only commitment to daily engagement. For details on the 5 Mt System, see [5 Mt System Principles](#5-mt-system-principles).

The Winter Session entails a fifteen stage unfolding of:

• The Mandaean-Qabbalistic spiritual system
• Spiritual history of the Middle East region.
• Spiritual practices and rituals of its esoteric traditions
• The Mythos of Miryai the archetype of enlightenment from this region.

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

1. Water+Water: Material Purification (January 6–20) 
   - Focus: Stages 1–3 initiate transformation by purifying the material self, redeeming divine sparks from the qlippoth, and grounding in the sephirah of Malkuth, aligned with the water element. Influenced by Pythagorean and Eleusinian traditions. 
   - Kabbalah Area: Assiah Foundations—establishing ethical and spiritual grounding in the material world to begin redeeming divine sparks. 
   - Miryai’s Mythos: Her rejection of worldly ties reflects the initial purification of the material self.

2. Water+Fire: Emotional Refinement (January 21–February 4) 
   - Focus: Stages 4–6 refine emotional and intellectual faculties through engagement with Yesod, Hod, and Netzach, elevating sparks via mystical intentions, aligned with the fire element. Influenced by Canaanite and Zadokite traditions. 
   - Kabbalah Area: Yetzirah Development—cultivating emotional and intellectual alignment to elevate the soul toward divine connection. 
   - Miryai’s Mythos: Her trials in exile mirror the refinement of emotions and intellect.

3. Water+Wind: Creative Illumination (February 5–19) 
   - Focus: Stages 7–9 align the soul with divine intellect through Tiphareth, Geburah, and Chesed, aiding cosmic repair via unifications, aligned with the wind element. Influenced by early Mandaean and Nazorean traditions. 
   - Kabbalah Area: Briah Transformation—deepening intellectual and spiritual communion to become a microcosm of divine creation. 
   - Miryai’s Mythos: Her teachings of light reflect the illumination of divine intellect.

4. Water+Zephyr: Archetypal Union (February 20–March 6) 
   - Focus: Stages 10–12 approach divine essence through Da’at, Binah, and Chokmah, transcending personal identity via mystical union, aligned with the zephyr element. Influenced by Zazai and Qabbalistic traditions. 
   - Kabbalah Area: Atziluth Integration—merging with divine will through unification of higher sephiroth and partzufim (divine personas). 
   - Miryai’s Mythos: Her ascent toward divine light reflects alignment with the archetypal divine.

5. Water+Earth: Primordial Perfection (March 7–19) 
   - Focus: Stages 13–15 achieve ultimate unity with Kether, Ain Sof Aur, and Ain, aligning with Adam Kadmon and completing cosmic restoration, aligned with the earth element. Influenced by Lurianic Kabbalah. For details, see [15-Stage Kabbalah Progression](#15-stage-kabbalah-progression). 
   - Kabbalah Area: Adam Kadmon Realization—attaining primordial unity with the divine archetype, fully participating in Tikkun Olam (cosmic repair). 
   - Miryai’s Mythos: Her union with the Great Life embodies complete restoration of divine sparks.

Miryai, a Mandaean archetype of enlightenment, is the spiritual model of the Waterstar Season. Rejecting worldly attachments, she faced trials, taught divine wisdom, and ascended to the World of Light, embodying the 15-stage Lurianic Kabbalah progression. Her journey from material purification to cosmic unity parallels the path to Tikkun Olam. Her story aligns with each fortnight’s stages. For her full narrative, see [Miryai’s Mythos]

The Waterstar Season centers on the Lurianic Kabbalah progression, linked to Miryai’s Mandaean mythos, with minor influences from traditions like Pythagoreanism, Mandaeanism, and Qabbalah. 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 January 6 and January 21, with fortnights starting every 14 days. Practitioners engage in daily reflective practices, focusing on the elemental theme and three stages of the Kabbalah progression, as detailed in linked resources. The system requires only commitment to daily engagement.
