The Phoenix and other Stellar Rites of Initiation

By Oliver St John

The Phoenix is the rite of admission to Neophyte, the first degree of the Golden Dawn as reconstituted by our Hermetic Order of the Star and Snake. The first degree is called the 'Grade of Earth' because it corresponds to Malkuth, the Kingdom. The Magick of Light is expressive of universal natural principles. It is the basis for the consecration of talismans, invocation and evocation. We also include here the admission to the grade of Zelator and Liber 717 or Zain, a carefully adapted version of the Bornless Ritual for the Adeptus Minor. The three rituals of initiation each come with a full commentary. The 'flashing colours' are particular to the Magick of Light and have a special rôle in theurgical rites. The book is therefore printed on photographic paper and includes 35 luxurious full colour diagrams and graphic illustrations.
