I’ve been around for awhile. I’ve seen a lot of esoteric orders come and go. Some I’ve been a part of, some not. Throughout all of them I’ve seen some things that I really liked. However, none were a perfect fit for me. Whether it was politics, a self-perceived sense of righteousness, a focus on only the theory of mysticism without any action to back it up, or a desperate clinging to outdated ideology, they always seemed to fall short in one way or another.
One particular night many years ago, I was going through what we often refer to as a Dark Night of the Soul. Things were actually going well in my life, but progress was stalling. Communication with the ‘third order’ had ceased, and everything else had seemed to plateau. Things weren’t getting worse, but they weren’t getting better either. I had been a good student. I was studying and meditating, but things simply weren’t moving. I didn’t know what I should do next. I spent half the night outside yelling at the stars, cursing and challenging God, the angels, my ancestors, everyone. I needed answers.
After I had exhausted myself with my tirade, boy… did I get them!
I received a LOT of information that night. Just a major download of gnosis coming through. I ran inside and started taking meticulous notes to be sure I wouldn’t forget anything. I received direction on what to do with my life, my family, career, etc. One of the things I was called to do is establish this Order.
Thusly, the next step in my own spiritual evolution is to create the Order in which I would want to be a member. To follow the Process of Creation and manifest into reality the Order I’d like to see in the world. LiliumRosa and the Order of the Lily and the Rose is that Order. An innovative and evolutionary step beyond the Rosicrucian current. An Order that avoids the trappings and pitfalls so common to similar groups in the past and present day.
LiliumRosa is conceived to be a new movement in mysticism. A movement that focuses on connecting with the higher self or inner teacher and then enacting real change in the world for the better.
The Order of the Lily and the Rose is the official organization that embraces the ideals of the LiliumRosa movement. It is possible that one may prescribe to the ideals of LiliumRosa and not be a member of the Order. The movement is bigger.
It’s time to get back to the Elements of magic.
We are not inventing a new system of magic, but we are creating a new paradigm of magic. A paradigm that promotes a closer bond with your true self and in our experience yields better results.
If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to come be part of the journey.
