                   FIRST DEGREE STUDY PROGRAM



     These are the practices that the Order requires for the First

Degree. An examination is required in these practices. ( a perfect score

is not necessary) before advancement to the Second Degree.



1)   Continue and elaborate the practices and studies of the

     Minerval Program. All are important.



2)   Select and become proficient in at least one of the following:

     LIBER XXV, LIBER XLVI, LIBER V or LIBER DCCC     (Liber Samekh).



3)   Begin or continue a particular study in one of the following:

     Qabalah, Divination, Yoga, Astral Workings, or a like discipline.



4)   Perform some work that will endure beyond your own physical

     lifetime: write and be published, speak in public, produce a work

     of art, have and nurture a child or perform some similar work that

     will pass beyond your own mind, and beyond the minds of your

     immediate associates.



5)   Perform some work for the benefit of your Brothers and Sisters in

     the Order: Provide time and work in organization, correspond with

     isolated initiates, share your insights, volunteer for specific

     needed tasks within your abilities or perform some other service

     needed by the Order.



6)   Join with fellow initiates in a Chapter, Lodge, or other group of

     the Order.



7)   Analyze your magical diary from some definite point of view; e.g.

     endeavor to determine the point at which virtue becomes vice, as:

     sympathy degenerating into pity, advice into meddling, temperance

     into apathy, excellence into illusion, gentleness into shallowness

     and like matters. Perhaps assign elements to your traits to

     determine imbalances. Also try to determine what about

     yourself/life you can't laugh at. Record your findings in your

     diary with both theoretical views and actual examples from your

     daily life.
