As Utilized by the 5 Mt System of Miryai
In the Living Gods, Let the hallowed Light of Transcendant Truth be praised. Let the Sweet Mystery of Miryai awaken in the heart of hearts.

FORTNIGHT OVERVIEW

Zazai, Shlama
Winter - Fortnight 24 (Water+Zephyr)
Metal Element (Days 46–60): Strength and Divine Connection

Basis: Metal symbolizes strength, using the skandola knife, kushta grip, and praises of Ziwa and Nhura (Qulasta, CP 170; Secret Adam).
Feast (Day 46): Prepare bread with sesame and water, saying, “Metal of Hayyi Rabbi strengthens my soul.” Reflect on the skandola’s protection.
Fast (Days 59–60): Abstain from rich foods, sipping mambuha with dates to counter Venus’ allure and the matarta.

Salome-Shlama preserving texts leads to Zazai in southwest Syria. Fleeing to marshes. Colonizing Mars as a fail safe. Purity.
The major focus of this season in the Mandai, not so much the modern remnant of this group, but the more ancient Naziraya faction. Modern Mandaeans, reorganized under Ramuia, deviated partially from the earlier Nazoreans. Our interest is in the deeper roots of this tradition, and in a form of it that can be pursued without a community. This aspect of Mandaism is reflected in an ancient Mandaaean oral tradition preserved by Drower - the Story of Qiqil and the Darwish.
Use chapter 47-61 of the first 76 chapters of the Qulasta.
