Whale-bell Ringing New Year/Solstice Celebration

Mago Academy invites you to come and celebrate our planetary community at the time of transition to the New Year and Solstice! The Welcoming Ceremony (20 min) will be followed by a special one hour session about the Magoist Calendar of the 13 Months and 28 Days. We are holding an annual whale bell striking ceremony at the Moon-lit Rock Garden of the Mago Academy Center, Lytle Creek CA (Zoom and actual participation).

When: Dec. 17, 2025 (Wednesday) at 12 Noon – 1:30 PM PT

Why December 17th? Because Dec. 17th is the New Year’s Eve or the Day outside the grid, according to Mago Almanac, the 13 month 28 day calendar! See below for the Wheel of Mago Almanac (coming soon).

How: Welcoming Ceremony (20min). During the Welcoming Ceremony, we play a record of the Whale Bell. Immediately after the whale bell ringing (28 times), each participant will say out the names of our loved ones, the living and the dead, in the spirit of gratitude.

After the Whale-bell ringing ceremony, one hour session (12: 30 PM to 1:30 PM) follows as:
1. (40 min) Dr. Hwang’s presentation, “Our Tongue since the Neolithic, the Ceto-Magoist Language”

2. (20 min) Open discussion with questions and answers by all participants.

Registration free but required: Email Dr. Hwang (magoacademy@gmail.com) with the info below to receive the Zoom link with the password. 1. Your name, 2. Country of residence, 3. “I would like to join because….(complete the sentence on your own).”
