The annual fasting of the Knights Regnum hails from an ancient gnostic tradition of allowing the body to “die” before the winter solstice. It is thought that the earliest Christians practiced this, learning it from their Jewish mentors in the gnostic path. The principle fast is only three days, but there are several days leading up to it that are important. Some argue the fast began on the Solstice and lasted for three days. We do not make arguments, nor do we claim lineage or importance, but we instead practice concluding our fast with a vow and oath of atonement on the Solstice.

    If you are not a Knight, but you want to participate, we wholly welcome you into our spiritual practice. The Knights Regnum are a mystical order hailing from many different religions, and we value our integrity, and yours. If you want help on this fast, feel free to ask us! We are here for you. It is never too late to start the fast.
