Te Order’s mission is to provide a stable vehicle for theadvancement of its members in an ambience of living Alchemy and an unwavering commitment to raise its initiates totrue Adepthood within the regenerative mysteries of the Ogdoadic tradition. The Order is also dedicated to the ideal offraternal cooperation, both within its own body of initiates and in its relations to other Orders within the Western Mystery tradition. It is a Hermetic and magical order, based on 19th-20th century Aurum Solis teachings and on evolving esotericresearch. Ordo Astrum Sophiae derives its Charter of Succession and initiatory lineage from the Aurum Solis, Order of the Sacred Word, which was founded in London in 1897 by George Stanton and Charles Kingold. Tough proud as the Order is of its Aurum Solis heritage, it must be emphasized that the Astrum Sophia does not in any way representor claim to be the Aurum Solis.
