You can be a member without being an initiate into the priesthood orclerical leadership. For those who would like to attend basic services without committing to formal spiritual education, CLICK HERE for our live services schedule.
For those interested in receiving initiations, participating inrites, and possible opportunities for leadership in the priesthood, read below to learn more about our initiate structure through coursework.
initiation structure:
We derive our system from a combination several different systems of magick in our coursework catalog of study. Many courses are being developed now and will be added as they are ready for students to access. Our system is primarily based on astrological magick. Astrology is a very valuable tool in all magick workings, and the basis by which most ceremonial and higher magick finds its best success. Without first learning the basics of the nature of the universe we co-exist in, the student may find poor results in their work. We encourage students to seize the opportunity to learn from as many subjects that feel right for their soul purpose, but a good foundation in metaphysics and the spiritual sciences is imperative for best success, so we have core coursework related to each house that gives a basic foundation. Our seminary degrees are attained by choosing a master area of study and then also completing core curriculum in the basic magick of each astrological house. We encourage looking into more than one modality of mastery if the student shows a capacity to handle more than one system or method by which to manifest magickal workings.
LEADERSHIP: Ordained disciples and ministers in the creed are selected based on meritocracy; on the basis of talent, effort, and achievement, rather than gender, wealth or social class. Advancement is based on performance, as measured through examination or demonstrated achievement on their ability to show proficiency and moral conduct in the work.
Our initiate structure is set up based on natal astrology. All new members receive a natal chart examination to determine which HOUSE they will represent in the church as their 'spirit tribe' they will represent primarily in the church. Similar to the popular fictionalized wizard world of Hogwarts which has four houses, we have a system of 13 astrological houses which can be broken down into 5 elemental church bodies. Generally, the individual's SUN sign will determine the house each member is placed into, and which elemental ministry they represent collectively. Even if their area of master study is based in another house, their SUN SIGN will be the house they generally represent. Any member may choose to initiate into and master any house, but even when expressing interest in areas not ruled by an individual's SUN personality, it is the sun sign that provides the lens by which the individual channels that modality generally.
Generally, we find that members of the church body tend to find the most fulfilling growth in the houses reflected by their North Node and Rising Sign positions, as these are areas that a student generally feels 'called to work in the ministry' but may not have much soul experience in prior to this incarnation. The sun house is an energy the soul has already mastered in past incarnations and the mode by which all other expression shines through generally in this incarnation, thus the house chosen to be represented as 'tribal home base'. For this calculation, we use SIDEREAL 13 Sign Astrology with Placidus house system as a standard.
When signing essays for publishing among the church body, all work will be signed with the MAGICK NAME, and the Sun house as well as the areas of mastery. For example, say I am a member and I have submitted an essay for House of Aries an instructional paper on how to suffumigate metals, the paper would be signed as follows:
This Essay was submitted By Brother/Sister 'magick name here.'.
Representing House of 'Sagittarius etc',
Prepared for Houses of 'Aries etc'
We archive and preserve the collective knowledge of the order in annual publications. We use secret magick names for the protection of our members so their common identities remain confidential and free of persecution by non members. For simplification, it can be broken down even further in groups to classify houses by their ruling element: Fire, Earth, Air, Water or Aether.

'Burned at the stake for being awake.
Punished for healing, and labeled a snake.
Word at the gate; execution awaits...
Banished from feeling under wicked mandate.
Now out of hiding and she’s had enough! She’s here to revive unconditional love!'

GATE & KEY: SIDEREAL 13 SIGN ASTROLOGY
This study guide covers the basic foundations of Sidereal 13 Sign Astrology and focuses primarily on definitions, symbols and becoming familiar with the parts of a chart. Until the basic symbols are committed to memory with their corresponding energies and meanings, it will be impossible to interpret a chart spontaneously.
Like first learning the alphabet before reading a novel, you must know the letters and their corresponding sounds before the words on the page can reveal their meaning. Astrology deals with symbols that correspond to many layers of meanings. Your quick recognition of those symbols will be needed to become proficient in your ability to read a chart intuitively. As with other forms of divination, the concrete mind needs to be able to recall layers of meanings with a single glimpse of a symbol. This new language you are learning will take time and dedication, but will open an entirely new way of seeing and understanding people and situations.
Some of the important information will be repeated in different ways throughout this guide to further help commit these concepts to memory. This method is derived from language coaches who teach language patterns for quicker absorption of the language. This book serves as a quick reference guide for the most basic information and also includes some esoteric tidbits to keep it exciting. Look for more advanced materials coming soon! Subsequent books will cover how to interpret charts based on position of the planets in the houses and in the zodiac, aspects between planets, retrogrades, and asteroids, progressed/predictive charts, natal charts, etc
