“Know self

I am a Magister of a tradition

Known only as Lore

My lineage is the ancestral wisdom of the universal knowledge

Lore is universal but experienced through the ancestral

All ancient cultures have the one Lore at base

Only our individual ancestral line changes our approach to the one way

Via – The Way has had many branches

But its roots are in the primal energetics

The pattern of the earth reflected from the stars

Once understood

The ancient principles and practices of Lore and all its branches

Its origins in the astro-temples of the standing stones through the hermetic and alchemical are understood

For it is one symbolic language wearing the dress of different times

I am a Magister of this tradition and a master of its many branches, for it is one tradition

In oral tradition the ancient wisdom from before the ice age was sealed in stone

The Standing Stones

The first simple symbolic pattern for understanding Lore is

The tree – The human body

The man god – Primal male ancestral energy

The woman goddess – Primal female ancestral energy

The serpent or dragon – The primal numen of the earth

The apple – Venus as morning and Evening star

The god and goddess woven as the serpent contain the ancestral and the past life powers

In all ancient teaching we reincarnate through the bloodlines

All bloodlines are a vast web

With one centre

All are of one origin

The source

We are all one but we must walk to the centre through our own blood

All tradition has been handed down and taught orally

Person to person through millennia

The main practices are

The staduir – Ancient posture system

The alchemical breathing techniques

Sila (Shila) the finger weaves and signs of the meridians

Sila is the nine energies

The nine centres

The nine sound vibrations

The body as the microcosmic temple

It is the nameless path of the eight winds

The book of flesh and blood

It is the inheritance of all

With ears to hear

With eyes to see beauty

My personal symbol

The Via symbol is

Earth – Sun – Moon – Star

The equal cross is the earth temple of the solar solstices and equinoxes

The star is Venus – Death and rebirth

The guiding star of beauty

The crescent moon is the divine feminine and sacred cauldron of energetic transformation

The symbol as a whole represents the path of transformation and master

The knowledge of the energetic cycles of the natural world

It is the wisdom embodied in the ancient standing stones

The path of the sun and moon

It is the one spiral of power filled with the breath of spirit

It is unity with the world

Mastery of the spirit
