The Philadelphus Mystery School of Alchemical Astrology was created to offer a sound and valid response to these questions, as well as to offer a practical and constructive programme of esoteric knowledge, and most importantly, the study of Alchemical Astrology itself.
There is nothing trite or shallow about esoteric knowledge, and one should not venture into any field or study of esoteric knowledge without the understanding that you may grow as a result of knowledge gained, and that it may change your perceptions of the world in which you live.
We do emphasise that The Philadelphus School is not anti-Christian, however the knowledge contained in the modules may challenge orthodox teachings, as we offer a differing view to many orthodox doctrines.
