Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
This Book is for ALL:
Magick is for ALL:
The Law is for ALL:
The Invisible House Society was founded for the sole purpose of advancing the training of students through the grades of the Order of the Golden Dawn into the Order of the Rosy Cross (representing levels of attainment and not to be confused with societies or orders that have taken to naming themselves after these systems). The grade system and method of instruction included in this book and taught by the Invisible House Society is the same system used by the A A (Astron Argon) as delivered by Aleister Crowley and George Cecil Jones.
After years of initiating and training students, it was decided by the founding members to take the system of training and compile it into one resource. One book. It would contain all of the necessary instructions for the Probationer, Neophyte, Zelator, Practicus, and Philosophus. Now a comprehensive resource exists for student training that encompasses guided-initiation, apprenticed-initiation, and self-initiation with extensive oral instructions put into the written word.
Should you use this book? The daunting tasks necessary to become a student of Magick are enough to scare prospective students away. Superstition is enough to scare others. Self-doubt, self-loathing, a false sense of obligation to others, ridicule from peers; the list of reasons not to become an Initiate is endless. Yet there are individuals who dare to take a step onto the path. This book is for those who have the desire, drive, and tenacity to take that first step and attempt to stay the course.
How to use this book: Path to the Invisible House hasbeen written in sequential order. The Probationer is strongly urged to read the course curriculum in the order provided, and to begin the instructions included in Section One, without befuddling the mind with other sections of the book. The same advice holds true for each grade, but only in looking forward into the next grade. Reviewing material from previous grade sections is always recommended.
What does this book teach? The grade system and method of instruction included in this book and taught by the Invisible House Society is the same system used by the A A (Astron Argon) as delivered by Aleister Crowley and George Cecil Jones. As they adapted and perfected pre-existing systems to suit the needs of their circumstance, so too does the Invisible House Society. Most of the perceived deviations from the original system are methods of instruction, usually as a means of simplifying and further explaining very complex components of certain grade tasks. Additionally, material has been added, some of which did not exist when the original system was created. The essence of each grade and its intent has been maintained.
The Great Work is not a path for the chosen, but a path we choose to take.
Love is the law, love under will.
