How the Order Works

Order of the Violet Flame

Public Community / Outer Body

The Order provides the community.

Teaches and Introduces

House of Tarot

The Complete Initiatory and Symbolic System

The House of Tarot provides the system. It is not a membership grade and it is not a separate organization.

Formal Initiation

Inner Temple of the Violet Flame

The Formal Inner Initiatory School

The Inner Temple provides the initiation.

Akasha / Spirit

Emissaries of Light

Highest Source / Intelligence Level

The Emissaries of Light are not a membership grade and are not a separate Order. They represent the highest source and intelligence level beyond the initiatory organization itself.

All Directions Exist at Once.

X and O are not competing forces. They are the two directions of one process.

Emanation ↔ Return

O — Return

The goal is not escape from manifestation.

It is the ability to participate in manifestation consciously from the Center.
