I have previously written about my experience as a young man meeting an old shepherd on Samothrace, and the spiritual impact it had on me. This morning I was digging through some old photo slides I took back then of the “Sanctuary of the Great Gods”, and to my delight I found some forgotten handContinue reading “The Samothracian Mysteries”

Order Life
“To him is all credit due for the Order life, from its emergence as ‘The Havelock Work’ and the ‘Order of the Southern Cross’, through the building of the Temple complex and until the time of his death. A truly Great Man.” Fiat Lux 7=4 reflecting on Piscator Hominem 9=2. I recall Fiat Lux usingContinue reading “Order Life”
Arise!
“For the uninitiated, the ego sits proudly on the tip of the wave; ignorantly, all that can be seen is a multitude of other waves. The Adept, however, sees but One Great Ocean; the individuality of his ego has been dissolved in Her primeval Waters; Through him, She aspires to rise up under theContinue reading “Arise!”
Isis Unveiled – God forms
Back in the early days I was initially in the Office of Imperator, but when Fiat Lux died I succeeded him as Demonstrator, and so I am particularly familiar with the God Form of Isis. She is, of course the Isis of Nature. In Assiah, she is the Bride, the Animus Mundi of the World,Continue reading “Isis Unveiled – God forms”
Whare Ra in the Fifties
When the Smaragdum Thalasses Temple no. 49 closed its doors, many of the administration papers were burnt by the Cancellarius, on instruction from the O.’s Chiefs. Neither the Roll nor the Warrant survived the fire, but many copies of the Ceremonies did – including very early copies of the Ceremonies that the Cancellarius preserved himself,Continue reading “Whare Ra in the Fifties”
Seven Occult Veils
At last Mejnour professed himself satisfied with the progress made by his pupil. “The hour now arrives,” he said, “when thou mayst pass the great but airy barrier,—when thou mayst gradually confront the terrible Dweller of the Threshold. Continue thy labours—continue to surpass thine impatience for results until thou canst fathom the causes. I leaveContinue reading “Seven Occult Veils”
Whare Ra Leadership – Part Four
The Wardens would sometimes appoint a Sub-Warden to assist them, remaining in tenure while the Warden was in Office. This was particularly so for the Demonstrator, given the workload of training and assisting a relatively large number of active members. For instance Betty Jones, who was later to become a Chief of the O.,Continue reading “Whare Ra Leadership – Part Four”
Personal Adept’s Ritual
This is a ritual I have been performing at least weekly, that I have adapted for use for those who do not have regular access to a V. I have abbreviated where necessary to keep this knowledge within the sphere of those senior members who have been Advanced to the appropriate Grade. For junior membersContinue reading “Personal Adept’s Ritual”
Whare Ra Leadership – Part Three
The G.H. Chiefs were responsible for the functioning of the whole Order. However, they were assisted by Three Wardens, Officers responsible to the Chiefs for the functioning of the Outer Order – the Demonstrator (or Praemonstrator as it was originally called), Imperator and Cancellarius. Wardens held Office for three years, and immediately after each VernalContinue reading “Whare Ra Leadership – Part Three”
Reverence is Important
I have mentioned this in part elsewhere in reference to the importance of writing Hebrew letters correctly, through careful and conscious writing of their forms, “magically” turning mundane letters into Sacred Symbols. The purpose of making that point was, however, more to stress not to bring a casual attitude to magical work as the subconsciousContinue reading “Reverence is Important”
