Membership

The Aesthetic Rose+Croix Order of the Temple and the Grail manifests itself along three lines of activity:
​

• The Rose+Croix is a fraternity of men, women, and artists (Serviteur). The Serviteur is not initiated, so those who are unable to be initiated can align with our purpose and begin part of our work individually.
  
  
• The Temple is the assembly of the Voluntaries (Ecuyer). The Ecuyer is an initiated member who participates fully. Initiation is in person only.
  
  
• The Grail is the college of the Believers. (Chevalier/Dame). The degree of Chevalier/Dame is conferred by invitation.

Our Order is open to any man or woman over 21 years of age whose character exhibits the chivalric ideals of charity, nobility, fidelity, and uprightness, and who, through his or her talent and intellect, can support and advance the purpose of the Order.
 
The candidate must affirm a belief in God, a Divine Intelligence or a Supreme Power. The Order is ecumenical, and does not restrict membership to a single Church or religion.

The Order is in full communion with l'Eglise Gnostique Apostolique and the Ordre Martiniste of North America. However, members are not required to affiliate with these organizations.

The Order does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, political ideology, class, or social condition.

Each member is free to decide, at any time, whether he or she wishes to continue studies and may, with a simple written notice, defer studies, or resign altogether from the Order.

Initiations and studies are entirely free of charge.
