The Grade System of the Golden Dawn

The structure of the order was hierarchical, having three levels: the Outer Order, the Inner Order, and the Third Order. The Outer Order was for beginners, consisting of an introductory grade and four elemental grades. The elemental grades corresponded to earth, air, water, and fire. By association with the elements, they also correspond to the Four Worlds (or levels of existence) of Kabbalah. Additionally, there was a sixth or "Portal" grade, which led to adeptship.

The Grades

Grade 1 Neophyte 0:::0 Probationary Grade

Grade 2 Zelator 1:::10 Earth

Grade 3 Theoricus 2:::9 Air

Grade 4 Practicus 3:::8 Water

Grade 5 Philosophus 4:::7 Fire

Grade 6 Portal Spirit

Beyond the Portal grade lay the Inner Order. It consisted of the adepts. It had no curriculum or initiation ceremonies until 1892, when the first Adeptus Minor ritual was performed.

Note that most of the practices of 3=8 and, especially, of 4=7 involving bridging between Yetzirah and Briah. (1=10 opens to Yetzirah. 2=9 stabilizes that opening. 3=8 continues the stabilization of Yetzirah and starts to build bridges to Briah. 4=7 heavily builds bridges to Briah. Dominus Liminis completes the training in Yetzirah and consequently opens to Briah. 5=6 does something with that....)

Practicus - Another way

[hijodelagua]

He may at any moment withdraw from his association with the A.'.A.'. simply notifying the Practicus who introduced him. Yet let him remember that being entered thus far upon the Path, he cannot escape it, and return to the world, but must ultimate either in the City of the Pyramids or the lonely towers of the Abyss.
