Active Hermetics
Degrees
| Degree | Description | Minimum sphere(s) (not just Arete) | Training / Duties |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Neophyte | Eduction in advanced mundane studies, basic metaphysics and occult, languages and linguistics, and the Order. Harsh, unforgiving, merciless, drudgery, with physical labor and total immersion in Ars Hermetica. Humility, responsibility, hard work are taught. Meant as a 'weeder' degree. | |
| 2nd | Zelator | Elementary fundamentals of the Spheres. Advancing from goetia to theurgia studies. Begin selecting their 'Word.' Antinomian praxis. Political meetings, dangerous missions, and difficult tests. Understanding symbolism and having revelations while avoiding madness. Carefully monitored in case they became danger to self or other. Learn self discipline is the crucial lesson. | |
| 3rd | Practicus | Chooses their 'Word' to embody and begins metamorphosis. Develop Word as function of Will projected into Creation. From thurgia to magia and Awakening. | |
| 4th | Initiate | 1 (Forces) and 1 (House Sphere, if any) | Initiation as awakened full member of Order. Explained rights and responsibilities. May serve as Tribune, publish, hold office, title, or lands. Training now from self and peers now. |
| 5th | Initiate Exemptus | 2 | Register to take on assignment of an apprentice, but unlikely at this degree. |
| 6th | Adept | 3, 1 | Many Hermetic mages never attain this degree. Note, the Order of Hermes uses the title 'Adept' differently than the other traditions. |
| 7th | Adept Major | 4, 3, 1 | Few Hermetics will ever achieve this degree. Enter into politics and influence the direction of Order, or if truly capable Traditions as a whole. |
| 8th | Magister Scholae | 5, 3, 3 | Tested and scrutinized ahead of time. Second secret initiation, rumors of a third, and fourth. A pillar of Order, shapes it's destiny, and realizes it's goals with every thought, action, and exercise of will.. |
| 9th | Magister Mundi | 6 (NPC only) | More force of nature than human being. Order governance drops away for concerns in the realm of primal forces of Universe. |
