The Grand Commandery of the Winged Serpent
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
The Commandery of the Winged Serpent is an operative magical body, conducting traditional Aurum Solis studies and practices and encouraging serious research into the Ogdoadic Tradition of the Western Mysteries. The House was first established by Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips in the early 1980’s in Minneapolis/St. Paul MN, as a Commandery of the Aurum Solis / O.S.V.

It is a vehicle of the Divine Alchemy, committed to the ideals of the Great Work and the manifestation of the potential and vitality of the Glorious Star of Regeneration.

The House of Topaz
New York City, New York, United States
The House of Topaz is an initiatory vehicle centered upon the Hermetic Gnosis. The aspirant develops a foundation of magical workings within a spiritual and philosophical background in order to achieve clarity of vision and understanding what the Great Work is, how it is communicated to those who want to know and how it is accomplished. True to the Way of Hermes, the initiate, along with enhanced practices then begins harmonizing the inner/microcosm with the outer/Macrocosm through the high Art of Planetary Workings so that: “the powers within me chant in harmony with Thy will.” Eventually through more advanced transformative Rites the adept’s Path aims to culminate in the noetic vision and finally in the mystical union with the Divine (unio mystica). Our term for this is the Palingenesis, the Regeneration. The master of the House of Topaz has over 50 years of study and practice of the esoteric traditions of the world.
