ESHU LODGE
Eshu Lodge is a research and experimental group for like-minded persons of an esoteric bent. It was duly chartered and consecrated by Tau Palamas, on January 3rd, 2013. The Lodge charter holder is Brother Ariel. Eshu Lodge’s mission will be to disseminate the light of the Gnosis, in a contemplative and intiatory manner to those whom desire it.
Seeing the stifling of the spirit that occurs in many dogmatic and top heavy esoteric orders, Eshu Lodge will work within the framework of Congregational Illuminism; where no person is of a higher rank than another. This ensures that petty drama, politics, and the establishment of pecking orders, do not get in the way of the work. Eshu Lodge believes that initiation is an individual affair, and no initiation is the same for everyone, and also, that each individual carries within him or herself all of the potential for spiritual awakening / awareness.A candidate’s advancement in the Lodge will be entirely dependent on his or her own abilities and desire.
Our job at Eshu, is simply to give the individual the tools to discover and activate this awakening in their daily lives. Therefore, initiation is specifically tailored to the individual, his or her prior experience, and or comfort level. Eshu Lodge will not be physically conducting the degree of Memphis-Misraim in the traditional manner. Rather, the degrees will be given via study and meditation of the rituals, activation of “Points Chauds,” or “Hot Points” and Consecratory, Talismanic empowerment.
In summary, Eshu Lodge will be working in the spirit of the Jean-Maine currents and spirits of Voudon Gnosis and Memphis-Misraim. It is our hope that Eshu lodge will be a beacon of light in the darkness for a long time to come!
