	Servants of the Light School of Occult Science, a fully contacted Mystery School teaching throughout the world by ...
		The Western aim is the integration of the whole person, not a casting away of the physical, but a recognition of its vitality, its powers and potential.
		The values, ideals, and principles of the Western Mysteries may appear strange to some, for they are used to a world where everything must be seen to have a high monetary value in order to have worth.
		The Mysteries follow the law that stipulates that those who come to the Gate of the Mysteries are judged on their abilities and their capacity for hard work, not what they may or may not have in worldly wealth.

	The Alchemists Garret - Tradition vs Pop-occultism
		There is also, interestingly enough, while claiming to be a western tradition school, often a real lack of traditional western methods and terminology in the key philosophies and methods of the school, but instead, in their place, we find techniques and terms corrupted or directly plagiarized from the eastern tradition.
		The masters of the ancient mysteries, as we have said previously, have insisted since the beginning that their knowledge, activities and training were preserved and propagated behind a veil of silence.
		The problem is, then, that the average person entering in through the threshold to the mystery tradition to begin his occult education has both an imperfect and incomplete knowledge of the conscious worldly part of himself – and almost no knowledge at all of the half of himself of which he is unconscious.

		Today the tradition is undergoing an import of Eastern ideas, mainly Taoism, Tantra, Buddhism, Hinduism and Yoga, which began mainly by the Theosophical Society of the 19th century and now is continued by many people with syncretic or eclectic backgrounds.
		However, the true Tradition, seems to focus on individual spiritual progress through initiation into some sort of brotherhood, group rituals, study of philosophy and the cosmic laws and their practical application with the aims of alchemy, meditation, divination and ritual magic.
		The tradition of initiation and secrecy is well-preserved today, although it is criticised by many people, mainly those related to the New Age phenomenon, which has the view that knowledge should be as open as possible.

		The appearance of Jesus and the introduction of Christianity influenced the tradition deeply, but during the dark ages the ancient Western mystery tradition was heavily opposed by the Christian Church and many figures associated with it were victims of the Inquisition, especially the witches and members of secret mystical societies.
		The tradition remained alive in Mediæval France, Mediæval Britain and Mediæval Germany, mainly due to the work of many secretive esoteric orders such as the 17th century Rosicrucians, who helped to transfer the ancient tradition in the recently discovered New World (North America).
		After the dark ages, the preservation of the secret teachings of the Western mystery tradition was endangered again during the Second world war, due to the Nazi regime in Third Reich's Germany.

	Artikel van Marian Green
		The Western Mystery Tradition consists of an interwoven tapestry or a vast spiral of knowledge which has been turning around the West for many thousands of years, not a single unbroken strand of wisdom, but more like links in a chain, each part connecting to the next.
		The Western Mysteries go as far east as Egypt and the deserts of modern Israel, south to North Africa and west to Atlantis.
		Both of these were supposed to connect to older traditions, the one of cutting stone and raising great cathedrals and Temples, back to the age of King Solomon; the other a thread of poetic inspiration of the Bards, and law giving of the pre-Christian Druid priests.

		Bob Stewart has explored this oral magical tradition using the life of the Magician/Prophet Merlin in The Mystic Life of Merlin and The Prophetic Vision of Merlin and his earlier book, The Under-world Initiation, in each case drawing on very early literary sources which were the last incarnation of a much more ancient oral tradition.
		In our civilized and settled Western world where -the mundane is catered for, and most have at least the necessities of life, there is an unexplored spiritual dimension which orthodox religion no longer seems to address, and the material system of acquiring 'things' does not understand at all.
		The Western Tradition has always been that, of a Quest, an individual, journey through the apparent world wherein the lessons are learned at an inner level, and it is the spirit which is nourished.

		Throughout history, the mystery schools have witnessed both times of social acceptance and of utter persecution, adopted by the high societies in one century, only to be outlawed in the next.

	Magi Group School of Western Mysteries
		Our main area of focus is in the wisdom traditions and occult teachings surrounding the figures of the Magi that came to worship the new born Son of Light in the cave at Bethlehem.
		The central idea empowering this material is that the Magi were given a Holy Stone by the Christ Child which carried a mandate for the founding of a Mystery Tradition or school of spiritual training and work.
		Closely allied to the Magi material, and in some respects growing out of it, is the idea of a group of prophetesses or Sibyls who go under the title of "Mary" in the New Testament and Apocryphal texts.
