Below are the Instructions, Tasks, Oaths, Self-Initiation Ceremonies and Rituals for the Neophyte, Zelator and Dominus Liminis grades. You do not need to fill out any form of an application or written agreement to use these documents for your "personal use" and initiation, and you do not need to contact any other member of the Order to receive permission to use them. This web site is your dispensation from Frater A.·. A.·., the Founder of the Order, to initiate yourself. So you can do the work entirely on your own. To this end, all of the necessary documents are linked below. Your work in the Order begins with the Neophyte Oath and Neophyte Ceremony of Self-Initiation. You must start as a Neophyte, no matter what grade you may hold in another Order. The Neophyte should "endure" nine months or longer of Probation after the initiation before advancing to the next grade of the Zelator. The Zelator should wait twelve months or longer after the initiation before advancing to the next grade of the Dominus Liminis. The Dominus Liminis should wait twelve to twenty one months after the initiation before taking the Oath of the Adeptus Minor. By viewing, downloading, printing and/or using the content of this web site, you guarantee that the material will only be used by you in a responsible manner and that you are eighteen years of age or older. Self-Initiation ceremonies are only available for the grades in the First Order. Beyond this, self-initiates should construct their own ceremonies of initiation for advancement. However, the Adeptus Major Self-Initiation Ceremony, designed by the founder of the Order in 1992 e.v. for his initiation into the Adeptus Major grade, can be used as a practical model upon which to construct the ceremonies.
