WERKING (when considered as a Sacrament)
Garden of Life considers Werking a Pagan Sacrament. In a preliminary description Werking may be an Act and/or Process specifically including an Effectuation of Will, performed by any Celebrant or group of Celebrants which focuses on particular and agreed upon Spiritual Goals. One type of Werking is called The Great Werk, which is focused on the achievement of the Ultimate Potential Perfection of one or more of the Individual and/or Individuals participating. Many instances of Werking are directed toward some aspect of Conscious Spiritual Evolution. Celebratory Circles are the most fundamental type of Werking. Such Circles are performed by a Group of Celebrants who join together to Commemorate a specific Holy Time and/or Werk for a specific Goal or Goals. Another example of Werkings are those of a Divinatory Nature.
Below please find the wording that Garden of Life uses in it's Articles of Organization to delineate this Sacrament:
An Act, Acts, a Process, Processes and/or Series of Acts and/or Processes including Effectuation of Will, performed by any Celebrant or group of Celebrants focused at particular agreed upon Spiritual Goals, especially, when oriented toward achieving their Own Ultimate Potential Perfection. When referred to as The Great Werk, it is always specifically Conscious Spiritual Evolution. Celebratory Circles are a specific type of Celebratory Werking, in which a Group of Celebrants join together to Commemorate a specific Holy Time and/or Werk for a specific goal. Celebratory Circles are the most fundamental type of Werking performed by the Temple.
