Membership Greetings from Earth and Heaven, The Invisible House Society (I.H.) was formed with the intention of training any and all people interested and suited to Magick and the occult sciences. The foundation of our training is based on the teachings of Aleister Crowley and other Thelemic doctrine. All systems of Magick are accepted by the society, as all systems are equally valid and will function well, if only the heart of the student is pure and strives to understand the intent. The nature of Thelema is already an assimilation of teachings from around the world, reconstructed and integrated into the current of our times. Some of these traditions include work with the astral planes, Hebrew and Greek cabalas, all forms of yoga, ritual and ceremonial Magick. These are just a few of the systems that have been incorporated to form the foundation of the strong and confident student. The instruction that is provided is to establish a minimum standard with which each Thelemite is enabled to communicate with others; and especially to understand and work his or her will upon the earth. With this intention a grade structure, used by the AT AT (Argenteum Astrum) and based on the structure of the Tree of Life, is employed by the society. If these concepts are in accordance with your own, the Invisible House will be more than happy to grant you an Honorary Membership with our group. An Honorary Membership allows the holder to receive instruction and training from the Invisible House. It can also be used to build a bridge between members of other esoteric or New Age groups with our own. This form of membership entitles you only to association with our group; it does not give the authority to speak about or on the behalf of the society or its members. Honorary Membership with the Invisible House is permanent unless a written request is received from you to withdraw from that membership. Full Membership within the Invisible House is a much more in-depth relationship with the society. It involves a close repartée with the group (branch) on a regular basis. The methods of instruction are more aggressive and involve a variety of group workings. This is due to the fact that Full Members are in the same locale or region as the group's meeting places. The Full Member is also obliged with the responsibility of representing the Invisible House directly, and therefore retains the authority to speak and/or act on its behalf. All Full Members strive to find their True Wills which will enable each person to act according to their true nature. Whether a Full Member or not, the Invisible House will endeavor to aid (insofar as it is necessary and proper) each aspirant in the journey to be made along the path of enlightenment. The attainment of this power of self entreats a large responsibility in itself. The understanding and the mastery of the self is essential to the Magician, otherwise, the student will miss the whole point of the experience of Light, Life, Love, and Liberty, and will not be capable of establishing within this self the Law. In the event that the point of this invitation is yet unclear, be forewarned. The practice of Magick is not a game. It is a serious undertaking into the exploration of the spectrum of the powers of the human spirit. The journey is not easy, but the rewards are joyful beyond words. I quote: " Children of Earth! rejoice! rejoice exceedingly; for your salvation is at hand. The end of sorrow is come; I will ravish you away into mine unutterable joy. I will kiss you, and bring you to the bridal: I will spread a feast before you in the house of happiness. " I am not come to rebuke you or to enslave you. I bid you not turn from your volumptuous ways, from your idleness, from your follies. But I bring you joy to your pleasure, peace to your languor, wisdom to your folly. " There is joy in the setting-out; there is joy in the journey; there is joy in the goal. My disciples are proud and beautiful; they are strong and swift; they rule their way like mighty conquerors. " excerpts from Liber XC It must be understood that the society will only train students who are willing, and who we feel are suited to these studies. The society has never and will never charge money for Magick instruction; nor for membership. The first student grade is that of Probationer. This status is that of a guest. Only after its completion does the opportunity for Full Membership exist. The Probationer has up to, but not more than, one year to complete the grade. The grade is designed to expose the new student to all branches of Magick and the Occult, and to provide the opportunity to experience these branches with an open mind. At the end of the Probationary grade, a decision is made by the student: whether or not to continue. Also a grade test is given by the society to ensure that the student is ready and suited to a path of initiation; and to begin the work of the Neophyte. You can contact us through our postal address if you find that you are interested. Direct contact can be arranged if you choose to proceed further.
