The Heritage
Today, Aurum Solis presents all aspects of its heritage through a clear and well-structured curriculum accessible to all serious students. It is associated with the holistic system of Mediterranean Yoga, which offers extensive training in all eight rays of this tradition.
In addition to its main curriculum, Aurum Solis offers access to several major components of our heritage. This makes the principal aspects of this unique lineage available to initiates of our Order and, in some cases, to the public.
The Grand Master of the Order is the Custodian of these lineages and their teachings, as reflected in several of the official traditional titles associated with this office and recorded in the ancient codes of the Order. These include “Archamagus of the Aurum Solis,” “Hierarch of the Abraxine Communion within the Charismatic Ecclesia of the Gnosis,” “Druidic High Priest of the Celtic Mysteries of the Aurum Solis,” and “Guardian of the Order of the Green Flame of Albion.” In addition to the transmission received directly from the Order, the current Grand Master has received several other lineages that reinforce its original heritage.
Green Flame
From its inception, Aurum Solis grounded much of its work in Celtic rituals and practices, particularly the ancient fire festivals: Imbolc, Bealteinne, Lughnasadh, and Samhuinn. Celebrated annually, these rites have been part of the Order since its beginnings, reflecting its connections with Celtic tradition, Druidism, and Shamanism.
These ancient practices continue to be observed within Aurum Solis, both in family settings and as part of an initiatory process reserved for advanced initiates.
Knights of the Helmet
Francis Bacon was the acknowledged leader of the “invisible” Order dedicated to Pallas Athena. The members of this secret literary society were known as the Knights of the Helmet. They underwent an elaborate initiation ceremony believed to have been one of the roots of modern Freemasonry.
Having received this spiritual inheritance through several Grand Masters who were Freemasons, Aurum Solis occasionally conducts this ceremony to perpetuate the tradition. It is open to any Companion of the Order who is also a Master Mason. This ceremony is not affiliated with any Masonic organization, nor does it constitute a Masonic organization of any kind.
Fedeli d'Amore
The Fedeli d’Amore (the Faithful of Love) were a group of poets who cultivated chivalric ideals with the aim of renewing society.
Aurum Solis perpetuates this tradition through the study of works such as Plato’s Symposium, Marsilio Ficino’s De Amore (also known as Commentarium in Convivium Platonis), and other related texts.
Qabalah
Books by former Grand Masters have popularized a new approach to Qabalah, combining late Hermeticism, Renaissance Judeo-Christian traditions, and modern magical Qabalah in a highly original way.
Aurum Solis makes these teachings and practices available both to its initiates and to those interested specifically in Qabalah through courses published by the Kabbalistic Order of the Rose-Cross.
Enochian Magic
The books written by Denning and Phillips present original research on Enochian magic. Drawing on the sixteenth-century writings of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley, this system of ceremonial magic involves evoking and commanding various spirits.
Aurum Solis offers initiates of the Order the opportunity to study and explore this part of its heritage through unpublished materials and practical experimentation.
