Our Work
Our work is Philosophy, Chivalry, and Theurgy.
|
Philosophy
The underlying nature of our work is traditional Rosicrucianism. We study the Mysteries, Hermeticism, Gnosticism, Christian esotericism, alchemy, and Kabbalah. We are aligned philosophically and aesthetically with the Orphic and the Eleusinian Mystery schools of thought. We offer access to the traditional teachings of our Order. Each member works independently upon his or her own initiative. |
Chivalry
Chivalry is a code of conduct associated with the medieval institution of Knighthood, which promotes spiritual, moral and social virtues, such as charity, nobility, fidelity, and uprightness. We are committed to an active practice of developing virtue in ourselves. We practice retrospection and introspection. |
Theurgy
The requirement of belief in a Supreme Being is fundamental. We are working to be pious and to form a personal relationship with Deity. Individually and in our groups we participate in rituals in harmony with Nature to purify our souls through the elements. |
