- Seven Paths

- 2 days old
- As might be expected, very little has appeared in our literature as to the seven Paths which stretch before the man who has reached the fifth initiation. It is obviously impossible, and also unnecessary, to convey to our mind any impression as to the significance of these paths, or as to the attributes needed for their treading. As time... more

- Diverse Initiations

- Major and Minor Initiations. In dealing with this question of the diversities of initiations it may be of value to the student to remember that the great moment in which a man passed out of the animal kingdom into the human, which is called in many occult textbooks the "moment of individualisation," was in itself one of the greatest of all... more

- Giving the Secret

- We now come to the consideration of the secrets committed at the initiation ceremony to the initiate. It is apparent, of course, that only the fact of the secret, and an indication as to the matter with which it concerns itself can be touched upon, and even this would be left unmentioned were it not that a knowledge of the general outline of the... more

- The Word

- The Solar Words. The basis of all manifested phenomena is the enunciated sound, or the Word spoken with power, that is, with the full purpose of the will behind it. Herein, as is known, lies the value of meditation, for meditation produces eventually that inner dynamic purpose and recollection, or that internal ideation which must invariably... more

- Visualising Magickal Weapons & Tools

- Many people can cover themselves in the trappings of the occult or paganism. Most would not know an incummbus from a succumbi and a sweeping brush from a besom. And why should they? I recall a time when my house was fit to burst with numerous books and objects, a real wizards study all of my own and containing the tools and weapons of the Art... more

- THE OATH

- The Work of the Lodge during Initiation. We now come to the most solemn part of the initiation ceremony. This ceremony, from one point of view, divides itself into three parts: First. That in which the initiate is concerned and in which he realises his own august Self, the Presence, and sees the vision and the plan. Second. That in which the... more

- Initiationary Rods Four Of
- by lostjohnny
- in lostjohnnyparadox.blog.co.uk
- 7 days old
- The Rods of Initiation are of four kinds: 1. Cosmic, used by a cosmic Logos in the initiations of a solar Logos and of the three major Planetary Logoi. 2. Systemic, used by a solar Logos in the initiations of a Planetary Logos. With cosmic initiation we have naught to do; it concerns expansions of realisation beyond even the ken of the highest... more

- We can now consider the stages of the initiation ceremony, which are five in number, as follows:— 1. The "Presence" revealed. 2. The "Vision" seen. 3. The application of the Rod, affecting:— a. The bodies. b. The centres. c. The causal vehicle. 4. The administration of the oath. 5. The giving of the "Secret" and the Word. These points are given... more

- Participation in Mystery
- by lostjohnny
- in lostjohnnyparadox.blog.co.uk
- 9 days old
- The participants in the mysteries are generally known, and no secret has been made of the general personnel and procedure. It is only sought here to impart a greater sense of reality to the data already given by a fuller exposition and a more pointed reference to the parts played by such during the ceremony. At this stage the student would be... more

- Initiations Universal Nature
- by lostjohnny

- 10 days old
- It has been emphasised many times in the occult teachings that the process of initiation, as it is usually understood, is an abnormal and not a normal one. All progression in the realm of consciousness is naturally by a graded series of awakenings, but this would proceed much more gradually and cover a longer period of time than is the case... more
