The criteria of membership.
Fr Faust spoke of his hope that all who come should be admitted and that all should be trained to attain the grade that they wish.
Fr IAO agreed and that a brief interview and set of applicant questions should be produced not to screen applicants for suitability but to asses their level of understanding.
All agreed and Fr IAO will produce the questions for the next meeting.
The funding of HoL.
We all agreed that no charge should be made for membership or the service offered by HoL, and that should a funding issue arise a request should be made for donations from the founding members first and the rest of the house later.
The Rituals of Initiation.
Fr 1025 agreed that the initiation rituals need to be revised as the ones used by Fr IAO & Fr Faust we based on their current levels of knowledge and should either be slimmed down to a bare bones or re written.
Fr IAO added that we should make sure that they are suitable for work within the chaos current and that we don’t allow personal dogma to creep in.
Fr 1025 will re write and then experimentation will commence as to their effectiveness and suitability for other candidates.
The Basic Rituals.
All parties agreed that the basic rituals used should be published for all to use. The list to include the rituals used by Fr IAO & Fr Faust during their own personal work, these are:-
· Gnostic banishing rite
· Rite of elemental Equilibrium
· The rite of Fire
· The rite of Water
· The rite of Earth
· The rite of Air
· The opening and closing rituals for the temple
Training methods and logistics.
Fr IAO wanted to make sure that the methods of instruction allowed each student to work under a practicing magician and this would be hard to check. Communication would have to remain important for all those in a teaching position.
Curriculum
Fr Faust wanted to discuss the development of the Curriculum using two documents by Pete Carroll namely Liber KKK & Liber Null along with the personal research of all members. Fr IAO was concerned about copyright and the accusation of plagiarism. Fr 1025 & Fr Faust agreed that this wasn’t what they intended and that the development of the curriculum would only be along those lines.
It was agreed that all parties would develop this and bring an outline to the next meeting.
The temples of HoL.
The Temple of Lucius will the first to be formed on the summer solstice and those founded after will work under its Aegis.
Election of Supreme Magus
None of the current members of HoL want to be elected as SM until a more coherent group has been set up, Fr Faust & Fr 1025 suggested that Fr IAO should be acting SM due to his experience and personal work and his experience of working within an order. As a SM is needed Fr IAO agreed but only for a period of 12 months as of the summer solstice, then he will step down and an election will take place.
Sigil Work
Fr IAO has devised a number of sigils to be used by the House, these are currently been investigated and will be presented at the next meeting.
Affiliating with the order of Tahuti
It was discussed but all members that at this time affiliating with another group may hinder the development of HoL
A.O.B
Grades of members.
Fr Faust provided evidence of his Adept work and initiation to Fr IAO & Fr 1025, this was found to be satisfactory and Fr Faust was granted the grade of Adept. It was also agreed that they should publicly announce their grades within the HoL
Fr IAO: (1) HoL acting (0)
Fr Faust (2) HoL
Fr 1025: (3) HoL
Input from non-members and new members.
Fr IAO advised that he had been contacted by a number of people (6) with a view to joining HoL and that he had received feedback from a few personal friends on the structure and subject to open meeting further changes may be suggested. All agreed that any input from any experienced source would be welcome.
