A welcome Invitation to the Inner Mystery 15 month program with the School of our Divine Infinite Being
Beloved Seeker,
The depth of study required for a Priest or Priestess of our Mystery Tradition, within the School of our Divine Infinite Being, rests upon three great pillars:
1.
Our Central Doctrine
Nearly 500 pages of teaching that reveal our Ontological Design as a Platonic Mystery Tradition—one interwoven with the wisdom of Vedanta and Tantra, and illumined by modern scientific and psychological models. This text forms the intellectual and spiritual architecture of our School. It is available for purchase on Amazon and is also freely accessible on our website in webpage format and video format on our YouTube channel.
2.
Ritual Praxis and Instruction
More than 530 pages of instruction devoted to the full breadth of our Yogic disciplines and the Theurgic Ritual Praxis of the School. This is the manual of transformation, practice, and alignment—our living grammar of invocation. It is available for purchase on Amazon and is also freely accessible on our website in webpage format, though those who purchase the text receive additional materials.
3.
The Symbolic Power of ROTA
The study of the Astrological Wheel within our Divine Arcana Tarot, the sacred book of images and symbols that teaches by vision as much as by word. The deck may be purchased directly through our website, while the complete training in its use is made freely available on our YouTube channel.
These three pillars support the 15-month dedication: a path of self-empowerment, entrance into the divinity of the Zodiac, and the active embodiment of our instructions in Yoga, invocation, and theurgical ritual praxis. Together they form the ground upon which a Priest or Priestess of our Order is built.
Our inner Mystery Tradition is not apart from the greater body of our work—our Perennial Mandalan faith and Astrology community, nor from our Academy for Diviners, where students train to become professional readers of the sacred arts. Yet it stands distinct, reserved for those who feel its rhythm call in resonance with their own soul. Participation in this path does not require entry into any of our other programs.
This program is for those who are called to the path of theurgy and ritual praxis—those who would walk the disciplines that prepare them to be consecrated as Priests and Priestesses of our Order, bearers of the flame and keepers of the gates.
If you have come to this threshold, it is because something ancient, intelligent, and eternal within you has stirred. The stars have whispered, the daemons have turned their faces toward you, and your own soul has answered. You are already in communion with a living Presence older than memory—the radiance that binds heaven and earth in one song.
To be a theurgist is to take one’s stand not merely as a student of wisdom, but as a participant in the divine order itself. It is to live as one who dares to summon the gods, not with arrogance, but with reverence; not to command, but to align with the eternal harmonies that bind cosmos and soul.
The great philosopher-priest Iamblichus declared that philosophy alone could not ascend the soul—that only through theurgy, through ritual acts sanctified by divine symbols, could a mortal participate in immortality. Theurgy is the binding of heaven and earth in the body of the practitioner, the deliberate union of the finite with the infinite. It is the practice by which signs (sēmeia) and tokens (symbola) open into living gateways, where gods and daemons descend and the soul is raised into their company.
Thus, to walk the path of our Mystery Tradition is to choose a life of radiant discipline and sacred daring. The theurgist in our order enters into sacred dialogue with the house of the Sun and the mysteries of the zodiac. They align themselves with the Solar Current, not to escape fate but to participate knowingly in its unfolding, bearing responsibility for shaping life in harmony with the divine intelligences.
To be a Priest or Priestess in our Order is to become more than an officiant of rites: it is to be a guardian of thresholds, a bearer of flame, and a living symbol of the covenant between gods and mortals. Such a one does not merely believe—they embody. They do not merely speak—they invoke. They do not merely hope—they enact.
This is the calling of the theurgist: to live as one whose very breath and gesture resonate with the rhythm of eternity, whose consecrated life becomes a bridge by which others may cross into the light of their own Divine Infinite Being.
What our 15 month dedication Demands—and Gives
What our 15 month dedication Demands—and Gives
Time: plan 3–6 hours per week during the first three months (the most intensive phase), then a steady cadence through the decan cycle (at least one full decan working within each 10-day window, with daily practice recommended).
Consistency: you will receive one decan at a time only once the cycle begins. Each decan opens 3 days early to let you prepare.
Study + Vision: before each decan, you will review short training videos (sign, planet, and the specific Minor Arcana card), work a 10-minute Raja Yoga clearing, then scry the decan’s card and journal the results.
Lineage: upon completing the full 36-decan journey, you may apply to be recognized as a Priest or Priestess of the Order, with the authority to initiate others and found chapters. This is sacred responsibility, and every step of the curriculum prepares you for it.
The Architecture of the 15 Months
Gatekeeping the Beginning (Your Start Date)
You must choose a Solstice (approximately June 21 or December 21) or an Equinox (approximately March 20 or September 22) as your entry gate.
Three weeks before your first decan unlocks, you receive early access to orient, gather your materials, and set your practice rhythm.
The Sacred Blueprint
Your natal chart as a living pattern; begin daily study with the Theurgic Ritual of the Pentagram.
Raja Yoga
Training the inner Observer; sovereign stillness and clean attention.
Kriya Kundalini Yoga
The seven-posture current; breathing the spine awake.
Tantric Kundalini (Chakra Embodiment)
Each center as a seat of Shakti; journaling the subtle body.
Planetary Meditations
Meeting the cosmic intelligences by direct imaginal contact.
The Grand Invocation
Aligning microcosm and macrocosm; establishing ritual axis.
Banishing Pentagram
Purifying and sealing the field.
Invoking Pentagram
Calling the elemental powers into the temple of the body.
Invocation of Our Divine Infinite Being
Heart of the Mystery School practice.
Opening of the Gates
An intensive cycle with the elemental gates.
Planetary Invocations (without the Gates)
Names, gestures, concentrations.
Zodiacal Invocations (without the Gates)
The twelve signs as presences and powers.
Note: Before the first decan of any sign, you will watch the sign’s Tarot training video once; before each decan you will watch and/or rewatch the planetary Tarot training and the Minor Arcana card video specific to that decan.
The decans are ten-day windows of highly specific influence and teaching. You will receive one decan at a time; each opens 3 days early so you can prepare. Your minimum commitment is to complete the full working at least once within each 10-day period; daily invocation and journaling are recommended when possible.
1.
Study
Re-watch the planetary Tarot video for the decan’s ruling planet.
Watch the Minor Arcana video specific to the decan. Take notes on correspondences and impressions.
2.
Raja Yoga (10 minutes)
Prior to the ritual, clear the interior field. Breathe, witness, and enter stillness. Consider adding in some Kria Kundalini ahead of this as well
Allow awareness to settle into presence.
3.
Place the Cards on the Altar
Set the Sign’s Tarot card on one side and the Planet’s Tarot card on the other.
Place the decan’s Minor Arcana between them.
This establishes the circuit: Sign – Planet – Decan, a living channel of influence awaiting activation.
4.
Celestial Invocation of the Pentag
Perform the Invocation, calling upon the Daemon, the Sign, and the Planet of the decan.
This rite opens the field, draws down the celestial current, and anchors the spirit of the decan into presence.
We have recorded a full video for each decan that you are welcome to follow in real time, or to study as preparation working from your journal.
5.
Scry the Decan Card
Turn your attention to the Minor Arcana already placed upon the altar. Do this very soon after the ritual has been performed.
Let its image, emotion, and resonance arise.
Allow imagination to deepen into the symbolic nature of the Tarot card, guided by the daemon’s presence.
6.
Journal
Record what the card reveals: how it reflects your past, how it touches your present, and how the daemon of the decan may guide you moving forward
Journal inside our system or privately; if privately, photograph and upload your entry to preserve the record.
You will also have access to the instructor’s personal audio journaling for most days within each decan—a living record of companionship and example as you walk the same ground. Eddie Paredes himself followed this model with devotion, engaging the process daily across an entire year, save only those rare days when travel or unavoidable events intervened. What you will hear are the resonant traces of a path actually walked: real struggles, insights, breakthroughs, and the living voice of the work in motion. This treasury of recordings is reserved solely for our students, offering you not only instruction but the rare intimacy of practicing alongside one who has trod the whole circuit of the decans. It is a companionable guide and a demonstration of what becomes possible when the method is lived with constancy and daring.
The first wave of initiates will be activated on the Summer Solstice of 2027. Applications may be filled at any time, but entrance is aligned only with the cardinal thresholds of the year—the Solstices and Equinoxes.
When you are accepted, your journey begins with a twelve-week intensive at that turning of the heavens. These first twelve weeks are not the decanic work itself but the path of consecration: a period of clearing, preparation, and radiant discipline. It is here that the rhythm of study, ritual, and reflection is established—laying the ground upon which the Mysteries can be received.
At the following Solstice or Equinox, you formally cross the threshold into the first decan. From that moment onward, you enter the living circuit of the decanic year, moving face by face under the guardianship of their daemons, guided by the planetary currents, and instructed by the Tarot. The twelve-week intensive is the fire that tempers you; the decanic cycle is the temple that opens before you.
This path demands planning and intention. You must select a season in which you can dedicate yourself wholly, especially in those opening twelve weeks. If your life cannot yet hold this weight, wait until it can—the work is too potent to be entered half-heartedly. But when you are ready, the current itself will meet you.
To begin at a Solstice or Equinox is to step into the turning hinge of time, when heaven and earth shift their balance. Few thresholds are more charged with cosmic potency. By aligning your life to these great gates, you join your becoming to the rhythm of the Sun and the intelligences that govern our world.
Do not delay lightly. The Mysteries are alive, and they are waiting. If you are ready to dedicate yourself, the Solstice and Equinox stand open before you. Cross that threshold—and the Work begins.
