GRELER SATAN!

We uphold that no Man requires a course of outside learning to become one with the essence of the true Magickian within.
Magick is the applied technique of understanding and
manifesting the True Will.
This is truly accomplished by individual
and personal means appropriate to each individual.
The answers to all lie within.
However it may be the desire of some
 to have these guidelines for whatever
personal reasoning. 
Hence we include herein the
knowledge concerning the traditional grades of organized Magickal training.
  Magick is a school of thought
and can incorporate degress relevant to the level of learning and progression into the Magickal realm,
of the individual adept.
Herein lies the levels of advancement within a gradation system thought to have been the original grades as employed by the great schools of Magick.
Again it is our belief that this information
*Does Not A Magickian Make*,
and so we supply it for your own use as you see fit.
This system has been employed for many centuries,
and no doubt will continue to be the way of many Great Magickal Traditions,
although the P.L.H.P. shall always maintain that
 NO system
other than that personal journey into the mystery of Life
is ever required to become fully aligned
with the Aura of True Magick.

* Sephiroth represents the spheres used in the Magickal system known as "The Tree of Life,"
one of the most valid schools of thought known in Magick.
This is the system described in the
Kabbalah and it's Magickal Correspondences.
 
 

In various relgions and practices there exists several elements of Magick amongst the folklore
and the ridiculous.
It is condusive to the student to be able to pick out those facts which are pertinent to Magick from those of grand storytelling.
It is the object of the practitioner to grasp these
unveiled teachings.
We can readily see that there exists over a dozen major systems of religious belief influencing Magick
at this time , and vice versa.
To add ever more confusion
these religions have splintered
into many factions
that add to the confusion of the
ever-increasing theological disagreements.
Still it is undeniable that each of these major works of religious thought contains valid excerpts of magickal practice that is of great value to the magickian.
These teachings have been transmitted from
generation to generation and represent the essential creeds of the world's greatest religions.

Based on the teachings of the
great books of religion listed above
many complex systems of Magickal ceremony have evolved throughout the centuries.
However these books only devulged theoretical knowledge to the masses, reserving the practical Magickal teachings to be discovered by the initiate of Magick.
Many of those esoteric secrets leaked their way
beyond the priesthood
and in the Middle Ages
 made their appearance as what we know as
