PRONAOS of AURUM SOLIS
As you can see in the page "Initiatic Organization" (in the "presentation of the Order") there is a preparatory circle of Ordo Aurum Solis called the " PRONAOS". AURUM SOLIS is a Theurgic Order, heir to the ancient Traditions of the Hermetic Mysteries. That is why we require each student to undergo a period of preparation before initiation. This period take place in the PRONAOS.During this training, the Pronaos Members receive different private teachings and have access to activities and documents restricted.
THE INITIATIC
TRAINING
The "INITIATIC TRAINING" is the preparation you must undergo prior to the initiation in our Order. (You will be admitted as a member of the Pronaos only after we approve you application.)
This period lasts approximately 9 months and precedes the initiation into the First Hall (1st Degree) of our Order. It's necessary to receive special permission ot begin this training and to be able to receive these courses.
DESCRIPTION
Pronaos has two aspects:
1- Individual studies/rituals.
2- Group studies/rituals (This is open to those who live near a House of the Order where they may participate with other members of the Order in group activities).
1- Individual Studies/ Rituals
Each Pronaos student receives various documents from us by email. These documents include:
- rituals and practices
- philosophical and theological studies
- studies of symbolism
- Fundamentals of Magical Qabalah
Every Pronaos student will be contacted by an Initiate, who supervises his/her progress. The rituals and practices must conform to a precise sequence and some of these practices are connected to the lunar and solar cycles. The practices are performed at home. The student sends a report to the supervisor after every lesson. The next lesson is sent only after the supervisor validates the report.
Once the student has completed the Pronaos, the supervisor will send him/her a list of questions regarding his/her apprenticeship. Each student has access to a private part of the website, which is set up for Pronaos students. Students are apprised of upcoming training sessions, which are provided online in the Pronaos area by Officers of the Order or in special meetings of the Order.
2- Group Sessions :
If a student lives close to a "House" of the Order, his supervisor will regularly invite him/her to participate in group practices with other students. These events provide the student with opportunities to get feedback on his/her individual progress, as well as giving each student a chance to ask questions about the Tradtion.
THE GOAL
No candidate can be initiated without training in the fundamentals. Our initiation is a powerful Theurgic process, warranting due diligence and respect. The student must weigh his/her decision carefully. More than this, the student must have a preliminary knowledge of our Tradition, so that he/she will know whether or not he/she agrees with our values, purpose and way of life. The ritual practices of the Pronaos are also used to purify the candidate and put him/her in contact with our Egregore. At the same time, this period allows us to see whether or not the candidate has a real desire and determination to be part of our Order. The first step in this evaluation is a demonstration of humility by the student.
Students sometimes have the misconception that the authorization for initiation is automatic, or that the initiation can be performed on the astral plane. It must be clearly understood that those ideas are wrong. It is necessary for every student to receive proper training in the fundamentals and inner spiritual work of our Order, and it is equally necessary for the student to prove his/her value to the Order. The Pronaos was developed to provide that training and to assess the sincerity and readiness of the candidate to be a member of our Order.
