Affiliate/Initiatory Membership requires greater participation in the activities and inner life of the Church of the Ancient Mysteries, with a high level of Dedication to both one’s own Priest/esshood formation and support of the development of fellow students (depending on one’s circumstances.) As part of that formation, Affiliate Members are encouraged to contact their own Inner Traditions or Initiatory Paths singly or with others, using the Newsletter as a forum for ideas and creative projects. The objective of the Earthgate Tradition behind the Church of the Ancient Mysteries is to foster greater circulation of “Initiatory Light” through its own Community into the wider culture.

ABOUT INNER ORDER MEMBERSHIP

The Inner Order is a hierarchy based upon dedication, commitment and responsibility to the Ancient Mysteries through the Earthgate Tradition. All members of the Inner Order must be at least First Rite Initiates of the Earthgate Tradition. Trained to be leaders in their own right, they are expected to become competent in all the hieratic (sacred) roles in due course. Those of Independent/Solitary Affiliation are free of hierarchy in that they may choose to develop their own Initiatory Traditions. ( more information )
