The College

An Institution of the Ancient Sciences

A learned society devoted to the study, practice and preservation of the magical arts.

Courses

The Curriculum

Study proceeds in strict sequence, from the foundations of theory to the controlled practice of the art. Each course is examined, and no stage is skipped.

I

Foundations

History of the art, correspondences, and the disciplined habit of the notebook.

II

Practice

Ritual method, meditation, and the construction of the working calendar.

III

The Great Work

The initiation cycle: Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, Rubedo.

The Great Work

Initiation is not conferred. It is undergone.

Members in good standing may petition for the initiation cycle, a year-long sequence of rites, readings and examinations conducted under the direction of the Initiator.

The Collection

Objects of the Study

The College maintains a collection of instruments, manuscripts and seals used in instruction. Selected pieces are exhibited each term, and documented in the Library.
