The Scarab from the North

IN THE PAST I have been accused of worshiping Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers. Although I do respect the man’s work with the modern hermetic revival my greatest “hero” is actually the great Polish Adept and alchemist Michael Sendivogius (1566–1636) who was referred to as Heliocantharus Borealis (“scarab from the north” or “the worshiper of the northern sun”). He was well aquainted with John Dee and Edward Kelley, as well as a favorite in the courts of the Bohemian Emperor Rudolf II and the Polish (and Swedish) King Sigismund III Vasa. He is also one of the few proto-modern Adepts who reputedly succeded with the Great Work of producing the Philosopher’s Stone, which is on record at the beforementioned courts in Prauge and Cracow. With an Polish ancestry and being a permanent resident of Sweden I feel a strong spiritual sympathy with this cosmopolitan “Scarab from the North”. 

On my Gyllene Gryningen Blog I have written about Sendivogius before, in my quite popular essay The Rosicrucian Kingdom of Poland. But here I would like to address a point in that great Polish Adept’s writing which bears quite some significance on the current state of the Order in Scandinavia or Hyperborea. Let me quote from Sendivogius’ preface to his Tractatus de Sulphure Altero Naturae Principio (“A Treatise on Sulphur and Other Natural Principles”) from 1613: 

The times are at hand when many secrets of Nature will be revealed to men. The Fourth or Northern Monarchy is about to be established; a happy age is coming; enlightenment, the Mother of Sciences, will soon appear; a brighter Sun than in any of the preceding three Monarchies will rise and reveal more hidden secrets. This Monarchy (as the ancients foretold) God’s Omnipotence will found by the hand of a prince enriched with all virtues who, it is said, has already appeared in this present age. In this our northern region we see a prince of uncommon wisdom and valour, whom no king can surpass in victories or in love of men and God.

There is no doubt that in this Monarchy God will reveal to us more secrets of Nature than it took place in the pagan darkness or under the rule of tyrants. Philosophers used to describe these Monarchies not according to their powers but by their placement and the parts of the world they cover. On the first place they place the Eastern, then the Southern, then the Western and finally the Northern and last one which is expected in these countries and about which I will speak at length in my Harmonia.

In this Northern coming polar Monarchy (as the Psalmist says) mercy and truth will meet together, peace and justice will kiss each other, truth will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from heaven. There will be one Shepherd and one fold, and knowledge will be the common property of all without envy. I look forward to all this with longing. (Translated by A.E. Waite.) 

Now, this sentence bears a direct reference to the first Rosicrucian Manifesto published one year later, in 1614, entitled Fama Fraternitatis, which states that 

In Politia we acknowledge the Roman Empire and Quartam Monarchiam [“Fourth Monarchy”] for our Christian head. 

The reference to “a brighter sun” that will rise in Sendivogius’ preface is clearly and actually a reference to the statement in the Fama of the appearance of an “Aurora, or some clearness, or divine light in the sky”. Let me quote that important paragraph from the Fama in full for greater elicudation:

Howbeit we know after a time there will now be a general reformation, both of divine and humane things, according to our desire, and the expectation of others: for it is fitting, that before the rising of the Sun, there should appear and break forth AURORA, or some clearness, or divine light in the sky; and so in the mean time some few, which shall give their names, may joyn together, thereby to increase the number and respect of our Fraternity, and make a happy and wished for beginning of our Philosophical Canons, prescribed to us by our brother R.C. and be partakers with us of our treasures (which never can fail or be wasted) in all humility, and love to be eased of this worlds labor, and not walk so blindly in the knowledge of the wonderful works of God.

Thus, what we see here in both Sendivogius’ words and that of the Fama Fraternitatis, which were published simultaneously, is a reference to a Nascent Aurora of the North. This Aurora mentioned in the Fama is clearly the Aurora Borealis (“Northern Light”), announcing the advent of the Forth Monarchy as foretold by Heliocantharus Borealis. In the Hermetic Order of the Nascent Aurora (H∴O∴N∴A∴) we have set as our mission to manifest a Novo Aurora Nascente in Hyperborea which from a spiritual point of view sets out to epitomise what that great Polish Adept and our Rosicrucian predeccessors prophesised exactly four Centuries ago, starting with the Vernal Equinox of 2014.

An International Confederation of independent Temples and Fraternities

IN THE ENDING of the Declamatio Fraternitatis it was said thus: “With our Declamatio we also want to announce that our Order has taken the initiative, together with other kindred fraternities around the world, to found an international Confederation of independent and autonomous Temples and Fraternities. All members of this Rosicrucian Confederation are working along the lines of the Golden Dawn tradition specifically and in Hermetic, Qabalistic and Rosicrucian traditions in general, from a traditionalist ethos. Thus, only because we have formally severed all ties with our former international parent organization and renounced the counter-tradition, this does not entail that the H∴O∴N∴A∴ has isolated itself from the rest of the community; let it be known that our Order constitutes a link in a fraternal chain of several traditional Orders which extends far beyond our domestic Hyperborea.”

Let us now elucidate on this subject somewhat further. The Hermetic Order of the Nascent Aurora takes part of a vast network of Temples and Fraternities across the world which has gathered together and organised themselves under one common Confederation. It is only known to the outer world for its acronym S. et R+C. F. T. and its true name in full is only a matter for its members and initiates. H∴O∴N∴A∴ is a key member as one of the original founders and instigators of the Confederation and its Mother Temple represents the oldest and original initiatory school. However, we wish to proclaim the seal of the Confederation which conceals many mysteries summarized in its symbolism (see header above).

This Confederation constitutes an league of independent and autonomous Fraternities and Temples of the Hermetic and Rosicrucian Tradition that share a Traditionalist perspective on culture and history, particularly concerning the Western Esoteric Tradition itself. All members of the Confederation are working in the Golden Dawn tradition specifically and in other Hermetic, Rosicrucian and Qabalistic traditions in general. The Confederation has set as its primary objective to maintain the hallmarks of Tradition offering suitable candidates Traditional initiation and teaching in the ancient and classical mysteries as constituting a vital alternative to the prevailing materialist and reductionist paradigm of modern and postmodern society.

The S. et R+C. F. T. intends to create a common quality standard for the initiatic system, training and teaching of the Outer or First Order. Apart from this lowest common denominator every confederated Outer Order works independently and under full autonomy using its own name. The Confederation is divided into regional jurisdictions which are defined and united by a common geographical, linguistic, ethnic, cultural and / or historical denominator. As an example, the H∴O∴N∴A∴ makes up the Scandinavian or Hyperborean jurisdiction of the S. et R+C. F. T. which currently includes all Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Åland Islands, Faroe Islands and Greenland) and the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania).

All confederated Orders in the Outer are governed by and share a common Inner or Second Order. This Inner Order is in turn generally divided into various Colleges which in most cases coincide with the regional jurisdictions. Each of the confederated Orders in the Outer are authorized by the Greatly Honoured Chiefs of the Second Order and answer to them in all of their workings. In this way the S. et R+C. F. T. maintains the traditional hierarchy and veil between the Outer and Inner Mysteries. The chief steward of the Confederation is the Archon Basileus or Basilinna which authorizes the Inner Order by virtue of the Grade Adeptus Exemptus 7°= 4°. Each of the confederated Orders in the Outer select their candidates for admission and are independently responsible for the individual initiatory process and teaching of their initiates within its geographical jurisdiction, under standing dispensation from the Inner Order. 

The Greatly Honoured Chiefs of the Second Order may in exceptional cases take special consideration and issue a special dispensation, following a formal application to S. et R+C. F. T., to admit and charter an authorization of a already established autonomous and independent Temple, with no current connection to any existing fraternity, under the premise that prior to its admission it should follow the hallmarks of the Tradition and maintain high quality in its operation, at least according to the following:

• Faithfully work initiatory according to the general reformation of 1888 with the Grades and curriculum as traditionally promulgated by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (1888–1903), the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha Omega (1901–1939) or the Stella Matutina (1903–1972), from Neophyte 0°= 0° up to Adeptus minor 5°= 6°, guided by published literature and official manuscripts, as well as practicing abstinence from any reconstruction of the Grades beyond that of the lesser adept.

• Emphasizing quality over quantity in the selection of its candidates and maintaining a high standard of teaching and training of its initiates, subjecting them to stringent criteria and rigorous requirements for advancement to a higher Grade with demanding written and practical examinations.

• Administering and overseeing the operation using a traditional tripartite leadership under a Imperator (leader), Praemonstrator (teacher) and Cancellarius (archivist), ruling together with a temporarily installed Hierophant (initiator) who leads a team of officers consisting of a Hegemon (psychopomp), Hiereus (sacrificial priest), Kerux (herald), Stolistes (waterbearer), Dadouchos (torchbearer) and Sentinel (guardian). 

• Requiring active participation in Temple activities and mandatory attendance from its initiated members at regular meetings on a monthly basis, obliging them to take collective responsibility for the management of the operation, not limited to the payment of dues, and to officiate as officers in initiations and advancements or in any other form of ceremonial group work. 

• As initiates uphold the sanctity of the traditional pledges, particularly exemplified by the obligations of the Neophyte and Adept, and in particular to uphold the sacred principles of silence, provision being taken to maintain a semi-public profile where the existence of the Temple may be generally known, either locally or online, but where its activities, places of meeting, documentation and membership roll is kept completely confidential. 

• Refrain from counter-traditional and dubious neospiritual activities such as aggressive marketing, commercialism, profanation, sectarianism, self-initiation, serial initiation, astral initiation, channeling and spiritism or blending traditional hermetic and qabalistic teaching with modern innovations such as neopaganism, neoshamanism, thelema, chaos magic, dark magic, satanism, atheism, theosophism, anthroposophy, new age, reiki, neoyoga, neotantra, etc., to retain the purity of the traditional teachings.

• Following a traditionalist viewpoint on culture and history, especially on spirituality and religion, on one hand according to the perennial or traditional school as promulgated by René Guénon, Ananda Coomaraswamy, Julius Evola, Frithjof Schuon and Mircea Eliade, amongst others, and on the other nurturing the belief in the possible existence of an original hermetic tradition that has been transmitted since antiquity to modernity through an ancient brotherhood officially known as the Third Order, which through envoys, assuming the roles as Secret Chiefs, historically have transferred esoteric instruction and authorization to the Second Order. 

Following the approval of submitted application for membership and admission into the Confederation the Gretly Honoured Chiefs of the Second Order will regulate the operation of the Temple, according to a individual conversion plan, to adapt it accordingly to the Reformatio Fraternitatas Ad Rosae Crucis Anno 1999 and Reformatio Minore Anno 2010 (the general and lesser reformations). All members of this newly authorised and confederated Temple will have their Grades collectively recognized and its previous Chiefs likewise maintain their standing within the Confederation. The Temple will in turn either become integrated with an existing jurisdiction or constitute the Mother Temple of a totally newly founded confederated jurisdiction.

Declaration of the Fraternity anno 2014

In the Name of the Lord of the Universe, hear you all our Declamatio! 

The HERMETIC ORDER OF THE NASCENT AURORA (H∴O∴N∴A∴) declared, when Sol entered into Aries in the year of our Lord 2008, with its Praedicatio Fraternitatis that it had re-opened the doors of its Swedish Temple after a long period of silence, and that the Order had shed its old designation, the HERMETIC ORDER OF THE GOLDEN DAWN. In conjunction with this name change the Swedish Order introduced its unique seal, which was based on the symbol of the General Reformation anno 1999 (Reformatio Fraternitatas Ad Rosae Crucis Anno 1999), the white triangle surmounted by the red cross and golden rose, with the addition of a thorn-bush issuing from the triangle and coiling around a raying cross to unfold the golden rose in the intersection of the cross.

With this name change our Scandinavian Order wanted to trace its roots back to the German Freemasonic Lodge L’AURORE NAISSANTE (LOGE SUR AUFGEHENDEN MORGENRÖTHE) which was founded in Frankfurt-am-Main in 1807, which in Hebrew called itself the CHEVRAH ZERACH BEQUR AUR, identical to the Hebrew name for the HERMETIC ORDER OF THE GOLDEN DAWN (H∴O∴G∴D∴) which was founded in London during the year of the General Reformation anno 1888. The name of this German Rosicrucian Masonic lodge in Frankfurt, which must be considered to be the original mother temple of the H∴O∴G∴D∴, translates as the LODGE OF THE NASCENT AURORA. The name “Nascent Aurora” thus represents a more original and accurate description of our Tradition in comparison with the vulgar English expression “Golden Dawn”.

However, despite this name change H∴O∴N∴A∴ still officially formed a formal jurisdiction under the international Order community (the ROSICRUCIAN ORDER OF ALPHA ET OMEGA), although for all practical purposes it had developed an autonomous body which had set itself out to implement the General Reformation following unique Swedish and Scandinavian requirements. In addition to the continuous offering of traditional initiation and teaching, all of its activities centered on the manifestation of a Reformatio Minore Anno 2010, a work that was launched in conjunction with Sol entering Capricorn in 2007, and which now has been completed when Sol has entered Aries in 2014. A seed was planted that has been germinating for seven years and now is fully blooming into a glorious Rose.

The initiatory system and  curriculum of the Order has, in the name of the Lesser Reformation, had to be substantially revised and put through necessary correction to make our tradition practically applicable according to the guidelines of the General Reformation of 1999, whilst having been made backward compatible with the previous General Reformation anno 1888. All Grades have been revised and the signs and passwords, which can be found in published literature, replaced with new that are unique for the Scandinavian jurisdiction, in order to restore the hermetic vessel and create a self-subsistent egregore. Moreover, the curriculum has also substantially been developed and expanded to meet the needs of the Scandinavian member to receive a traditional study material of highest quality, regardless of where he is studying. Thus, Scandinavian students are presented a unique and traditional curriculum without parallel.

During these seven years, and in the name of H∴O∴N∴A∴, the Scandinavian jurisdiction has passively observed how the general Golden Dawn Community as a whole has slowly but surely become obsessed by counter-traditional powers, tendencies that has not spared the international order community of which the Scandinavian jurisdiction has formed a part. The international Golden Dawn community has succumbed to an increasingly widespread vulgarization, profanation and commercialisation. These are tendencies that the Scandinavian jurisdiction has rejected and actively opposed. In parallel to this, H∴O∴N∴A∴ has increasingly been embracing an explicitly traditionalist position, which over time has made it difficult for the Scandinavian jurisdiction to come to terms with certain developments in the order community as a whole, and each body has slowly grown apart as a result of this. Meanwhile, our Order has rediscovered its original Scandinavian or HYPERBOREAN affiliation.

The time has come for us to break all our previous relations, strings, alliances and allegiances with the international Golden Dawn Community, in whatever form, to protect the Scandinavian H∴O∴N∴A∴ from the counter-traditional disease and in order to preserve the tradition immaculate. This process started properly when Sol entered Capricorn in 2013, when our Order broke away from the parent organisation, exactly six years after H∴O∴N∴A∴ had decided to re-emerge from the shadows and unlock its Temple doors for all serious candidates. Six years following our announcement of the Praedicatio Fraternitatis, we now want to announce our Declamatio, which on all accounts confirms our previous manifesto, however, observing the following measures that we have been forced to undertake:

We declare that Sol has entered Aries in the year of our Lord 2014, and that this also marks the consummated manifestation of the HERMETIC ORDER OF THE NASCENT AURORA in the Outer as in all respects an independent and autonomous fraternity. Our Order has thus set as its primary mission in Scandinavia to manifest a: 

Nova Aurora Nascente in Hyperborea! 

In order to manifest this new orientation in our egregore and to enshrine its independency and integrity we hereby proclaim that our former Temple, originally authorized by the ROSICRUCIAN ORDER OF ALPHA ET OMEGA when Sol entered into Aries in 1997, officially known as the ALPHA ET OMEGA TEMPLE NO. 9 OF THE NASCENT AURORA, has been duly closed and permanently dismantled. In its place, raised from the ashes of the former Temple, we herewith declare the opening of a new and independent Scandinavian Mother Temple to constitute the core working of the H∴O∴N∴A∴, whose name and number shall be sealed and protected from the gaze of the outer world. This new HYPERBOREAN Mother Temple in the Outer Order is fully authorised and has a legitimate charter issued by our Inner or Second Order’s Archon Basileus, acting as an Adeptus Exemptus. Furthermore, our Order possesses all the privileges and rights through our Chief Officer, legally installed according to custom and tradition.

However, H∴O∴N∴A∴ is not a new fraternity as it constitutes an unbroken link to and serves to be a direct continuation of the original Temple founded in 1997, which in turn was constituted as a legitimate and direct lineal descendant of the original HERMETIC ORDER OF THE G∴D∴ founded 1888 in London by S.L. MacGregor Mathers and William Wynn Westcott, which in 1906 duly renamed it as the ROSICRUCIAN ORDER OF A∴O∴, a Order which was legitimately resurrected in Paris in 1993, authorized by two Adepti Exempti in London, England. In 1998, our Temple along with another Swedish Temple, became authorized by an envoy from the Ahathôor Temple No. 7 in Paris which officially made it an ALPHA ET OMEGA Temple. Our new Mother Temple of 2014, has been raised on the foundations of our discontinued Temple from 1997. 

With our Declamatio we also want to announce that our Order has taken the initiative, together with other kindred fraternities around the world, to found an international Confederation of independent and autonomous Temples and Fraternities. All members of this Rosicrucian Confederation are working along the lines of the Golden Dawn tradition specifically and in Hermetic, Qabalistic and Rosicrucian traditions in general, from a traditionalist ethos. Thus, only because we have formally severed all ties with our former international parent organization and renounced the counter-tradition, this does not entail that the H∴O∴N∴A∴ has isolated itself from the rest of the community; let it be known that our Order constitutes a link in a fraternal chain of several traditional Orders which extends far beyond our domestic HYPERBOREA.

Let it be known to our domestic HYPERBOREAN readers that the Mother Temple primarily recruits its members from the West of Sweden, the Regions Västra Götaland and Halland. Additionally, we require that our candidates undergo a period of probation before their admission as a member of the H∴O∴N∴A∴. Candidates who live elsewhere, and must travel long distances for their initiation, are offered studies by correspondence and training for distance members administered by our Mother Temple, with opportunities for traditional initiation and instruction of the same high quality as that provided for our local members. Anyone wishing to get more information about membership in the H∴O∴N∴A∴ may send an inquiry to our Order Cancellarius at the following address:

Brödraskapets Deklaration anno 2014

I Universums Härskares Namn, låtom er alla höra vårt Declamatio!

HERMETISKA ORDEN AV DEN GRYENDE MORGONRODNADEN (H∴O∴G∴M+R∴) förkunnade när Sol inträdde i Aries i nådens år 2008 med sitt Praedicatio Fraternitatis att den åter hade slagit upp dörrarna till sitt svenska Tempel efter en längre tids tystnad och att Orden i detta hade avlagt sig den gamla beteckningen GYLLENE GRYNINGENS HERMETISKA ORDEN (en ursprunglig försvenskning av namnet HERMETIC ORDER OF THE GOLDEN DAWN). I samband med detta namnbyte lanserade den svenska Orden sitt unika sigill, vilket var baserad på symbolen för Den Allmänna Reformationen anno 1999 (Reformatio Fraternitatas Ad Rosae Crucis Anno 1999), den vita triangeln krönt av det röda korset och den gyllene rosen, med tillägg av en törnbuske som utgick från triangeln och slingrade sig runt ett strålande kors för att utveckla den gyllene rosen i korsets skärningspunkt.

Med detta namnbyte ville vår nordiska Orden återknyta sina rötter till den tyska Frimurarlogen L’AURORE NAISSANTE (LOGE SUR AUFGEHENDEN MORGENRÖTHE) vilket grundades i Frankfurt-am-Main år 1807 och som på hebreiska kallade sig CHEVRAH ZERACH BEQUR AUR, identiskt med det hebreiska namnet för HERMETIC ORDER OF THE GOLDEN DAWN (H∴O∴G∴D∴) som grundades i London under Den Allmänna Reformationens år anno 1888. Namnet på denna tyska Rosenkorsiska Frimurarloge i Frankfurt, vilket måste anses vara det ursprungliga modertemplet till H∴O∴G∴D∴, översätts till GRYENDE MORGONRODNADENS LOGE. Namnet ”Gryende Morgonrodnaden” utgör sålunda en mer ursprunglig och korrekt beteckning på vår Tradition i jämförelse med det vulgariserade engelska uttrycket ”Golden Dawn”.

H∴O∴G∴M+R∴ utgjorde i samband med detta namnbyte dock fortfarande officiellt en formell jurisdiktion under ett internationellt Ordenssamfund (ROSICRUCIAN ORDER OF ALPHA ET OMEGA), trots att den i alla praktiska hänseenden hade utvecklat en autonom kropp som hade föresatt sig att implementera Den Allmänna Reformationen efter unika svenska och nordiska behov. Hela dess verksamhet har, förutom att fortfara med att erbjuda traditionell invigning och undervisning, varit att manifestera en Reformatio Minore Anno 2010, ett arbete som inleddes redan i samband med att Sol inträttde i Capricornus år 2007 och som nu har fullbordats när Sol har trätt in i Aries år 2014. Ett frö planterades som har fått gro i sju års tid för att nu till fullo blomma upp till en praktfull Ros.

Ordens invigningssystem och studiematerial har i Den Mindre Reformationens namn fått genomgå en omfattande översyn och nödvändig korrektur för att göra vår tradition praktiskt tillämpbar enligt Den Allmänna Reformationens riktlinjer från 1999, samtidigt som den har gjorts bakåtkompatibel med den förra Allmänna Reformationen anno 1888. Alla Grader har reviderats och fått kännetecken och lösenord som återfinns i publicerad litteratur ersatta med nya, unika för den nordiska jurisdiktionen, i syfte att återställa det hermetiska kärlet och att skapa en självhushållande egregore. Studiematerialet har vidare inte blott till fullo översatts till det svenska språket utan även utvecklats och expanderats i signifikativ omfattning för att möta den nordiske medlemmens behov att erhålla ett traditionellt studiematerial av högsta kvalitet, oavsett vart denne studerar. Sålunda presenteras nordiska studenter en unik och traditionell studieplan utan motsvarighet någon annanstans.

Under dessa sju år i namnet av H∴O∴G∴M+R∴ har den nordiska jurisdiktionen passivt observerat hur det allmänna Golden Dawn-samfundet i övrigt sakta men säkert har blivit besatt av mottraditionella krafter, tendenser som inte heller har skonat det internationella ordenssamfund av vilket den nordiska jurisdiktionen har utgjort en del. Det internationella Golden Dawn-samfundet har hemfallit åt en allt mer utbredd vulgarisering, profanering och kommersialisering. Detta är tendenser som den nordiska jurisdiktionen har tagit avstånd från och aktivt motarbetat. Samtidigt med detta har H∴O∴G∴M+R∴ allt mer anammat en uttalat traditionalistisk ståndpunkt, vilket med tiden har gjort det svårt för den nordiska jurisdiktionen att förlika sig med utvecklingen i ordenssamfundet i övrigt och respektive kroppar har med tiden vuxit ifrån varandra. Samtidigt har vår Orden återfunnit sin ursprungliga nordiska eller HYPERBOREISKA hemmahörighet.

Tiden är nu mogen för oss att bryta alla våra tidigare förbindelser, band, allianser och lojaliteter med det internationella Golden Dawn-samfundet, oavsett form, för att skydda det nordiska H∴O∴G∴M+R∴ från den mottraditionella sjukdomen och i syfte att bevara Traditionen obefläckad. Detta inleddes vederbörligen när Sol inträttde i Capricornus år 2013, då vår Orden bröt sig ur moderorganisationen, exakt sex år efter att H∴O∴G∴M+R∴ beslutade sig att träda fram ur skuggorna och regla upp sitt Tempels dörrar för alla seriösa kandidater. Sex år efter att vi kungjorde vårt Praedicatio Fraternitatis vill vi nu kungöra vår Declamatio, vilket på alla punkter bekräftar vårt tidigare manifest, dock iakttagande följande åtgärder som vi har varit nödgade att vidtaga:

Vi deklarerar att Sol har trätt in i Aries i nådens år 2014 och att detta också markerar den fullbordade manifestationen av HERMETISKA ORDEN AV DEN GRYENDE MORGONRODNADEN i Det Yttre såsom ett i alla avseenden självständigt och autonomt ordenssällskap. Vår Orden har genom detta satt som sin främsta mission att i Norden manifestera en:

Nova Aurora Nascente in Hyperborea! 

För att manifestera denna nyorientering i vår egregore och för att stadfästa dess självständighet och integritet proklamerar vi vårt förutvarande Tempel, ursprungligen auktoriserat när Sol inträdde i Aries år 1997 av ROSENKORS-ORDEN, ALPHA ET OMEGA och officiellt känt såsom ALPHA ET OMEGA TEMPEL No. 9 AV GRYENDE MORGONRODNADEN, vara för evigt slutat och avvecklat. I dess ställe, rest ur askan av det forna Templet, deklarerar vi härmed öppnandet av ett nytt och oberoende Nordiskt Modertempel att utgöra kärnverksamheten hos H∴O∴G∴M+R∴, vars namn och siffra är förseglat och skyddat från den yttre världens insyn. Detta nya HYPERBOREISKA Modertempel i Den Yttre Orden är fullt auktoriserat och har ett legitimt privilegiebrev utfärdat av vår Inre eller Andra Ordens Archon Basileus, i egenskap av en Adeptus Exemptus. Vidare besitter vår Orden alla privilegier och rättigheter genom vår högste ämbetsman, regelrätt installerad enligt gängse praxis och tradition.

H∴O∴G∴M+R∴ utgör dock inte någon nytt ordenssällskap då den utgör en obruten länk till och kontinuitet av det ursprungliga Tempel som grundades år 1997, vilket i sin tur har utgjort en i rakt nedstigande led legitim avkomma till det ursprungliga HERMETIC ORDER OF THE G∴D∴ som grundades i London 1888 av S. L. MacGregor Mathers och William Wynn Westcott, vilket år 1906 vederbörligen bytte namn till ROSICRUCIAN ORDER OF A∴O∴, en Orden som återuppstod legitimt i Paris år 1993 auktoriserat av tvenne Adepti Exempti i London, England. År 1998 blev vårt Tempel tillsammans med ett annat svenskt Tempel auktoriserat av ett sändebud från Ahathôor Tempel No. 7 i Paris och blev då officiellt ett ALPHA ET OMEGA-tempel. Vårt nya Modertempel från 2014 är rest på samma grund som vårt avvecklade Tempel från 1997.

Med vårt Declamatio vill vi också kungöra att vår Orden har tagit initiativet tillsammans med andra besläktade brödraskap runt om i världen till en internationell Konfederation av oberoende och autonoma Tempel och Ordenssällskap. Samtliga medlemmar av denna Rosenkorsiska Konfederation arbetar inom Golden Dawn-traditionen specifikt och i Hermetiska, Qabalistiska och Rosenkorsiska traditioner i allmänhet, utifrån en traditionalistisk grundsyn. Sålunda innebär detta inte att H∴O∴G∴M+R∴ är isolerad från det övriga samfundet bara för att vi formellt har brutit alla band med vår forna internationella moderorganisation och tagit avstånd från mottraditionen; låt det vara känt att vår Orden utgör en länk i en brödjakedja av ett flertal traditionella Ordenssällskap som sträcker sig långt utanför vårt inhemska HYPERBOREA.

Låt det för våra inhemska HYPERBOREISKA läsare vara känt att Modertemplet i första hand rekryterar medlemmar från västra Sverige; Västra Götalands Län och Hallands Län. Dessutom kräver vi att kandidater underkastar sig en prövotid före sin upptagning såsom medlem i H∴O∴G∴M+R∴. Kandidater som bor på annan ort, och måste färdas långväga för invigning, erbjuds studier per korrespondens och träning för distansmedlemmar genom försorg av vårt Modertempel, med möjligheter till traditionell invigning och undervisning av samma höga kvalitet som för lokala medlemmar. Den som önskar få mer information om medlemskap i H∴O∴G∴M+R∴ kan skicka en intresseanmälan till vår Ordens Cancellarius på följande adress:
