"Above all, never distinguish between the
spirit and the letter of your oath!" (Aleister Crowley)
"A real Magical Oath cannot be broken: you think it can, but
it can't.
This is the advantage of a real Magical Oath." (Aleister Crowley)
Below are the Oaths of the Adeptus Minor, Adeptus Major and Adeptus Exemptus grades.
The initiate is to compose his or her own Self-Initiation Ceremony for each grade after taking the Oath. The ceremony can be constructed upon the principles and formulae of the Self-Initiation Ceremony of the Adeptus Major written by the founder of the Order in 1992 e.v. for his initiation into that grade. However, this and all else in this regard should only be done with true guidance, illumination and inspiration from the Holy Guardian Angel to whose knowledge and conversation you aspire. It all begins with taking the Oath of the Adeptus Minor, which will awaken the necessary spiritual forces and initiate the process within.
The Adeptus Minor is also called the Adept Magician, and this grade refers to Tiphareth, the sixth Sephira on the qabalistic Tree of Life. Its corresponding yogic Chakra is Anahata, the Lotus of twelve petals. Its corresponding astrological Planet is Mercury, or alternatively Sol, and its alchemical Metal is Mercury or Gold. It is the spiritual stage of Life. The task of the Adeptus Minor is one: To attain the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel.
The Adeptus Major is also called the Master Magician, and this grade refers to Geburah, the fifth Sephira on the qabalistic Tree of Life. Its corresponding yogic Chakra is Swadhisthana, the Lotus of six petals. Its corresponding astrological Planet is Mars, and its alchemical Metal is Iron. It is the spiritual stage of Death.
The Adeptus Exemptus is also called the Perfect Magician, and this grade refers to Chesed, the fourth Sephira on the qabalistic Tree of Life. Its corresponding yogic Chakra is Manipura, the Lotus of ten petals. Its corresponding astrological Planet is Jupiter, and its alchemical Metal is Tin. It is the spiritual stage of Life after Death.
