QBLH
http://www.lightofthegnosis.com/qblh.htm
“Those who have felt the pull of destiny to become more than they are, are invited to study, learn, and apply the ‘Gnosis of Regeneration.’
· No dues are exacted!
· Members are encouraged (but are not required) to develop their own individual Magickal System along established Alchemical principals. (Magickal systems, like mathematics, aid one in working with and describing the Universe. But the system is NOT the Universe).
· No Initiations are performed nor Grades conferred for attainment (In reality initiations can not be conferred by anyone other than the personal Higher Self).
· One QBLH purpose is to help an individual far enough along the way so that they don’t need an Order, and can Work on their own.
· A group or Order is like a cell; it must divide. Nothing endures very long on this Plane of manifestation. In the end only the Inner remains.”
Horus/Maat Lodge
http://www.horusmaat.com/HMLFAQ.html
“The foundation of the Horus/Maat Lodge took place on the New Moon of April 26th of 1979, at a gathering of Soror Nema and the members of the Grove of the Star & the Snake. Our goal was to form a loose constellation of Thelemic Mages devoted to spreading the evolutionary energies of the Double Current 93/696, as free as possible from the type of authoritarian hierarchy that is so common in occult organizations.”
KIA Illuminated Adepts
http://kiamagic.com/wiki/index.php?title=Open_Source_Sorcery
“Open Source Sorcery (aka Open Sourcery) is a movement dedicated to the sharing of knowledge and experience among those who practise arts of sorcery of various traditions. Partly this is facilitated through the use of this and other occult wikis that have information released under the terms of an Open Source or Creative Commons license. The idea is that rituals and knowledge can be shared, adapted and improved by all. Whilst the webmaster reserves the right to moderate the amendments if necessary, there is nothing to stop anyone taking any of the material and posting it elsewhere, including in another wiki, and editing as they desire, so long as they too publish it under the same terms and conditions.”
Servants of the Star and Snake
http://www.wild.net.au/sss/
“The SSS exists to share the things we have each discovered in our own private Circles with each other, much as a professional group of scientists will meet occasionally to share what is going on with their research in their own laboratories. We do this for professional growth, curiosity and, of course, a certain degree of fellowship.”
Assembly of the Knowledge and Wisdom of Solomon
http://www.mindspring.com/~hellfire/bishop/points/points2.htm
“The ‘trigger points’ or ‘power points’, known as points chauds in the system of Gnostic Voudon as taught by T Michael Bertiaux and developed according to his methods, with due consultation with other sources, are an attempt to expand upon the empowerments and their corresponding points on the human body developed at the end of the 20th Century and the beginning of the 21st. As stated the authentic tradition may be reasonably postulated to have originated in ancient Sumer, Akad and Babylon, with heavenly correspondences to each degree of initiation in a complete circular system of 360 degrees, of which the 90 degrees of the Rite of Misraim (Egypt) represents only one fourth of the original.”
Legba Lodge
http://legbalodge.110mb.com/index.php?p=1_2_About
“Our primary research interests at this time are applied spiritism and theurgy (both understood as protocols of interaction with noncorporeal consciousnesses/intelligences), sexual magick, subtle bioenergetics (the trajectories of energy that underlie such phenomena as points chauds, the wheel of the year, and the teachings of Juan Matus in the works of Castaneda, among others), and esoteric engineering.”
Autireba Lodge No. 11
http://gnostikoi.net/?act=page&id=175
“[The] Rite has transformed from its freemasonic roots into a gnostic and “shamanic” system of the empowerment of points chauds (hot points) on the body of light, influenced by the metaphysics of gnostic voudon. This practice claims to lead to acceleration and realization of the Great Work and as such is sympathetic with the Gnostic Church’s work. Additionally, the Rite shares some of its history with the Gnostic Church in its French experience of early XXth century. Still, both bodies are independent and the systems can be fully worked separately.”
Ecclesia Gnostica Universalis
http://www.egnu.org/wiki/About_Our_Philosophy
“We believe that everybody has gnosis, just as Buddhists believe that everyone is enlightened from the beginning. It’s just that we’ve forgotten, and may need a little assistance to remember. Nobody can give or transmit to us what we already have, but a little help from our friends can help us remember what we already know.”
Ormus Lodge
http://www.lightofthegnosis.com/ormus.htm
“Ormus Lodge is both traditionalist and futurist in scope, maintaining a genuine respect for the ancient teachings while simultaneously being exploratory and innovative. We view the light of the gnosis as a continual, dynamic stream, stemming back in antiquity and flowing ever forward throughout the aeons.”
