“Why can’t you tell me?” It is not uncommon for one person in a relationship to be a member of the Order, and the other not. The relationship might be relatively new to an exisiting member, or it could have been decades long before the member joins.

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.

For instance Betty Jones, who was later to become a Chief of the O.,Continue reading “Whare Ra Leadership – Part Four”
Whare Ra Leadership – Part One
Detailed in the O.’s Constitution, Whare Ra had a well defined hierarchy of leadership. In 1960, newly installed Order Chief G.H. Frater Achernar (Archie Shaw) describes this chain of command succinctly in his Autumnal Equinox Address to members:- “At this time of transition, it may be of some benefit to us if I refer brieflyContinue reading “Whare Ra Leadership – Part One”

Frank Salt was initiated into the S.T. Temple in 1936, and eventually rose to the Grade of Exempt Adept, 7=4. As well as performing the duties of Hierophant and Chief Adept, he was also briefly Cancellarius, and then Demonstrator (Praemonstrator) for many years. After the closure of the S.T. in 1978, Fiat Lux contacted variousContinue reading “Frank Salt a.k.a. Fiat Lux”
