The Structure of the Order

The journey begins here

What awaits beyond the veil

At the Initiates Temple, your journey begins as a Prospect in the first stage of Assay. The knowledge offered here is not freely given; it must be earned through ritual purification, study, and the unfolding of your inner mysteries.

This is not for the faint-hearted, nor the curious onlooker. Initiation into the Order is an undertaking of great responsibility, for it is through this path that you will unlock hidden aspects of yourself, confront your limitations, and cultivate spiritual power. Only through dedicated practice and devotion will the deeper secrets of our Order be revealed.

The veil is thick, but for those willing to pierce through it, the rewards are immeasurable.

The Initiates Temple consists of several levels of initiation, each with its own unique challenges, teachings, and rituals. Progress through the Order is marked by three stages within each level, each earned through dedicated practice and the submission of your personal reflections and writings.

  • Assay: Where you stand now, at the very beginning. This is where the path opens, starting with the stage of Prospect. Through cleansing, study, and meditation, you prepare yourself for the first steps into deeper knowledge.

  • Collegiate: When you have proven yourself worthy, you will ascend into this level, where the foundations of occult wisdom will be laid bare. Here, you will summon your own Egregore—a guiding spiritual entity—whose presence will support your ascent.

  • Militia: You will become a spiritual warrior, armed with sigils and magickal symbols, mastering the currents of energy that flow through the world. It is here that you will begin to command the forces of the unseen.

  • Metaphysics: The veil begins to thin, and you will engage with the deepest mysteries of existence. Advanced Hermetic and Thelemic principles will be revealed as you master inner alchemy.

  • Clergy: As a guide to others, you will be responsible for supporting new initiates on their journey. In this sacred role, you will act as a channel for higher knowledge, serving the Order as a priest of hidden wisdom.

  • Directors: Few reach this level, for it is here that the true architects of the Order reside. Mastery over the physical and spiritual realms will be yours, and you will take part in the governance of the Temple’s mysteries.

  • Council of Hubal: The final destination for those who transcend the limitations of the material. The Council guards the deepest secrets of the cosmos and directs the will of the Initiates Temple.

  • The Hidden Knowledge: Ancient texts, occult rites, and spiritual practices that draw upon the vast wisdom of the Hermetic, Rosicrucian, Golden Dawn, and magickal traditions.

  • The Sacred Rituals: Step-by-step progression through stages of initiation, each marked by transformative rituals that will elevate your consciousness and unlock your inner potential.

  • The Egregore: A powerful spiritual entity, cultivated and summoned by each member, guiding you as you move beyond the physical into the realms of true metaphysical power.

  • The Light of Inner Truth: As you progress, you will shed the illusions of the material world and awaken to the hidden truths that govern the universe. This is the path of mastery—over self, over mind, and over the unseen forces of existence.
