On the night of Saint Lucia 2017 I was sitting silently in my living room. As one of the darkest nights of the year wrapped its cloak around me, something unusual lit up inside. I reached for my guitar and spontaneously played a beautiful song. The words arranged themselves effortlessly on my tongue and my fingers composed the harmonies without hesitation. I had never heard the song, but it was like I had played it a thousand times before. I was baffled at the experience, and as I was trying to rationalise what had happened, another song ushered forth. Musically it was different then the first one, but it had the same underlying purity and intention.
The next days more songs kept coming in the same manner, along with insights into the deeper energetics of the work. Each day I would be nudged to grab the guitar or sit down by the piano and a song would arrive. Attending to the usual family activities of Christmas, I was simultaneously in communion with a world of wisdom, insight and a profound sense of hope. I was used to songwriting, and understood that these songs were not only a product of my individualised creativity. It was like I was at the receiving end of something that had a clear message that it wanted delivered in a particular matter.
For each day of Christmas a new song would come through, and as the 13th day of Christmas dawned, the work was complete.
A timeless message had taken a novel form.
“Be the dreamer, not the dream”
- Hymn #10
A MUSICAL MESSAGE OF AWAKENING
“The Hymns of Melchizedek” is a song book containing 19 hymns on the themes of spiritual awakening and transformational growth.
The hymns are a call to a prayer - an invitation to redefine our deeper purpose for being and reclaim our worth as parts of a living, loving cosmos.
The hymns bring messages of the Spirit world - of Angels, Avatars and Ancestors, of the winds, the Sacred Fire and the Eternal Heart.
From deep inside our selves, freedom stretches out a hand to meet the perennial longing for peace that lives in every human being.
“Always held, always protected, never forget it, never neglect it” - Hymn #9
”The Hymns of Melchizedek” is structured as a song book to be used in devotional singing circles.
The hymns theme around universal values of spiritual transformation like compassion, forgiveness, courage and devotion,
reflected in a fresh and sometimes surprising way through the lens of Christmas. The melodies are uncomplicated, like children's songs.
The words - sometimes simple, sometimes cryptic - are repeated for each verse, making singing along easy. I understand this work to be a living transmission.
Like when the hymns were received, they retain an intention and will of their own, conveyed somewhere in the silence between the words.
Each hymn has its own unique message, and combine like rays of the rainbow into one, unified initiatory experience.
“If you have ears, listen to these words” - Hymn #16
”The Hymns of Melchizedek” harness the magic of Christmas, a time of the year revered for its spiritual potency since time immemorial.
The first 6 hymns act as preparatory prayers. The 7th is a vibrational key activating the transmission contained in the 12 following hymns, received for each of the 12 holy nights of Christmas.
They mirror the Universal principle for cyclical transformation, as seen in the seasonal changes created by the Suns transit through the 12 signs of the Zodiac - the 12 fundamental moods of divine light.
Share this work with those who walk with you on the path. I hope it will bring the revelations you need, like it has done for me.
With prayers for all beings,
Magnus Jonas

Melchizedek & Christ Consciousness
When all hope is lost and the soul is enveloped in the darkest of nights,
what ignites to illuminate the path less trodden?
How does conscious energy re-organise to open our eye, redeem our ignorance
and birth unparalleled purity in the stable of our heart?
Who is the King of Peace, the Eternal Priest?
Unbound by death and mandated by God to resurrect the epitome
of the human form at the root of the tree of life?
There is a luminous river running from the dawn of time into the prophesied deliverance of Kingdom come. It is neither this, nor that, but nearer then the nearest. Listen.
”I bring this song to remind,
to remember the path of Love”
