Crata Repoa

The Egyptian Order of Crata Repoa is a system of Seven Degrees which are derived from the historical accounts of the original priestly rites of the Ancient Egyptians, which were used to initiate aspirants into the Lesser and Greater Mysteries.

They are a mysterious set of Kemetic-Masonic Rites, deceptively simple in composition, but constituting a subtle and effective manner of exalting human Consciousness. They include traditional prayers and invocations to the NETERU, as well as a system of esoteric progress which reveals itself as the originator and archetypal model for all Initiatory Orders that came later.

In our Order, the Degrees are split into:

Four Lesser Initiations (Pastophoris, Neocoris, Melanophoris & Christophoris) of the Temple Acolytes, which reflect the Lesser Mysteries

Three Greater Initiations (Balahate, Maawr & Sapenath Pencar) of the Temple Priests, which reflect the Greater and Supreme Mysteries.

Arguably, these ancient sacerdotal Degrees are the origin of the seven degrees of the Primitive Rite of Masonry. In addition to these are several Higher degrees of the Ordo Aegypticus.
