The first time they had all been viewed together since 1973!
The Rose Window is a not-for-profit company created to support a unique set of stained glass window/panels. This stunning set of Zodiac stained glass panels is the original creation of Dr. Douglas Baker in the 1960s and inspired by a dream. After requesting ideas of several artists he chose a set of designs which were then created by a famous, stained glass fabricator in London which also created windows for many of the cathedrals in Europe. This set of stained glass windows are built of the same old and irreplaceable glass that is used in Westminster Abbey among others, and is no longer available.
The design incorporates the specific Ray (Esoteric Psychology) colors related to the particular signs of the Zodiac as well as both the exoteric and the esoteric ruling planets. Baker believed that when the windows came together they created a mandala which incorporates everything in the Universe since indeed they incorporate all Seven Rays and all Signs and Planets of the Zodiac, traditional and esoteric.
His dream was to create a “Temple of Jupiter,” a healing center in which the windows would factor as the main energetic component and in which the ancient wisdom teachings could be carried out. Unfortunately, he died in 2011 before that dream was realized.
Many people have lovingly contributed to creating no less than two different sets of stands for these windows, one with backlighting and one meant to be set in natural lighting. A member of the sacred Taos Pueblo in New Mexico was the creator of one set while a long-time, stained glass renovator in Illinois was the other. Another contributor has offered a large and extremely stable van for transportation to wherever they need to go. Finally, funds raised on the GoFundMe site enabled us to build two sturdy, padded boxes on wheels for both transportation and protection during storms. THANK YOU all who have contributed!
Today, the dream of a home is still alive. Recently a well-known architect, Bruno Reich donated his time and energy to producing a rendering for the building to be built, also on donated property: The Rose Window / Temple of Jupiter.
