Your initial steps on the Path of Return can be overwhelming. There is so much information in print and on the Internet that it is often hard to know where to look first. Compounding this difficulty is the superabundance of occult schools offering all manner of training in the esoteric sciences.

There are different schools precisely because there are aspirants with different needs and different backgrounds and temperaments. What may be right for one is not necessarily right for another. We counsel careful discrimination before making a decision about joining any occult order.

The Fraternitas L.V.X. Occulta does not make its claim solely on the basis of antiquity or because we profess the ability to give you power you do not now possess. We are a fraternity of women and men dedicated to personal growth and the expression of our true selves. Our common goal is illumination and the full expression of wisdom, love and power. Wisdom is acquired by the experience of correct actions based upon true knowledge and insight. Love is developed through meditation which opens the heart for the illumination of Union with the ALL. Power is developed through the correct application of Wisdom and Love, as for example, through Ritual. The power employed in the rituals of the F.L.O. is the power of Love, the only true power in the Universe. As one great adept said:

Practical occultism is a method of self-training, a system of education, in the strict sense of that word, which means "drawing forth." The powers to be brought into manifestation are already present in the inner life of the aspirant. His aim is to discover these hidden potencies, and to learn how best to employ them.

Thus it is that the great texts of Ageless Wisdom insist always that the fundamental lesson we all must learn is that there is no limit to the possibilities of the Spirit in man.

Make no mistake. All the powers of the universe are at your disposal here and now. You do not need to get something you do not now have. Rather, to succeed in the Great Work, you must learn to control and utilize the interior forces of your own personality with greater skill and awareness.

A well known occult saying is: "Many are called, but few are chosen." No teacher and no organization, can give you any power which is not already present in yourself. The most they can do is to introduce you to your self and show you how to nurture that relationship. The Path of Initiation lays open before you.

The Threshold Course is an opportunity for you to take a conscious step toward your own evolution as a spiritual being! Based upon the principles of Wisdom, Love and Power, this course is designed to give the student a well-rounded introduction into the mysteries of the Ageless Wisdom. This is both a theoretical and experiential curriculum. The course is comprised of 32 lessons and is included with Probationary membership in the Fraternity.

What you get out of this course will be up to you! If you choose to apply for membership, you will be given practices and assignments to assist in your understanding of the lesson material. Conscientious study and faithful practice will yield much fruit in your journey along your chosen path.

Practical Astrology for the Qabalist

Astrology has long been linked to the Western Mystery Tradition. The Fraternity of the Hidden Light now offers an up-to-date Course on this mysterious and intriguing subject. This Course presents an in-depth study of Astrology as it pertains to each one of us on a personal level. You will be trained in the basics of Astrology, and how to apply this information in reading your own chart and for working personal ritual. You will also discover the relationship of Astrological symbolism to Qabalistic symbolism, further enhancing your comprehension of the esoteric "tools" available for self-growth. The Lessons are both theoretical and experiential, and include assignments to aid in your understanding of the material. The symbolism of Astrology is a powerful instrument for attuning consciousness to the Cosmic and Universal Laws. This is a highly practical Course - by learning just a few symbols and correspondences, along with a formula for putting them together, you will be able to construct a reading through the Signs, Houses, Planets and Aspects. This Course is invaluable for those serious students of the mysteries in quest of an increased understanding of the Cosmic forces.

A definite commitment to persevere through the Practical Astrology Course is necessary. Each lesson builds upon the previous one. Also, you will be expected to submit regular reports of your progress. This Course is only available to members of the Second Hall of the Probationary who have completed both the Threshold and the Path of Return.
