Membership in Templum Babalonis requires that the candidate live in the vicinity of the Temple. All training must be done within the Temple itself, in person. Weekly or bi-weekly meetings are held for each degree-cycle, and these meetings are mandatory. In addition, there are sometimes training exercises within the Temple on days other than those of the normal meetings.
The Temple requires aspirants to be bound by Magical Oaths at each Initiation, and candidates are sworn to secrecy concerning all Temple activities, including its teachings. Membership in the Temple is anonymous and secret. Members may tell someone that they are involved with the Temple if asked, but can not reveal any further information about their degree or involvement with the Temple. A Member may never reveal the identity of other members of the Temple to anyone outside of the Temple, for any reason. When deciding who to accept as a candidate, the Temple is more concerned with a candidate's character and dedication rather than what they know about Magick or the Occult. At the same time, they should have aburning desire to learn about Magick.Membership in Templum Babalonis is exclusive. If a candidate has belonged to another spiritual group or begun initiation in another system, he or she must renounce membership and loyalty to that organization. This is required to avoid a conflict of energies and focus between the curriculum of the other groups and the Temple. Membership in the Temple also gives the candidate access to the community of the Temple with its Feasts and Celebrations. Some of these are The Equinox and Solstice Rituals and The Feast of the Full Moon, both of which are under The Feasts of the Times; The High Holy Days, which run from the Equinox of the Gods to the Three Days of the Writing of the Book of the Law; and the Feast of the Evening Star, which is a Feast for Life, and which is sometimes semi-public. The other Feasts and Celebrations are degree-dependent so they will not be listed here. |
