WHAT IS THE EMO UK?
An Esoteric Masonic Order
The EMO UK is an esoteric form of Speculative Masonry drawing from the mysticism of Egypt. The earliest Operative Freemasonry originated in the medieval workers' guilds to protect the working rights of stonemasons and builders; eventually, the Sacred Geometry taught by these Lodges of Operative Brethren was absorbed into the Perennial Tradition of Esotericism. The EMO UK practices the Egyptian Rite of Masonry, which is firmly rooted in the Mysticism of Ancient Egypt, the practices of Theurgy, Astro-Theology and Alchemy, and the Hermetic Arts and Sciences. Some Masonic Orders may be authoritarian, patriarchal, and oligarchic, but Freemasonry itself should be a moral, meritocratic, unitive, social and spiritual practice. We maintain the initiatory traditions and psycho-spiritual practices of the Sacred Mysteries and their Rites within the protective structure of Egyptian Masonry. The first Three Symbolic Degrees of the Lodge of Egypt are the Gateway to the Hidden Sanctuary beyond.
A Spiritual Community
The EMO UK wishes to act as a friendly, joyous and supportive spiritual community for its Members, and as a positive and progressive spiritual influence for all Humanity. Together we practice spiritual evolution through Initiation to empower ourselves and each other. We work, build and study as an organised collective of all genders, ethnicities, faiths and orientations. In the tumult and toxicity of the world of divisive politics, religious strife and societal tension, we wish to maintain the Way of the Heart - the unifying and harmonising approach to the Esoteric Traditions which brings like-minded and like-hearted people together, through compassion and companionship, rather than further separating and dividing us. We must act through Love and Trust alone. Although we are not a political organisation or religious institution, we are responsible, humane, and aware: hatred, fear, bigotry and cowardice are inimical to Love. Divinity is Liberty, Light and Life, but even more than these: LOVE.
A College of the Mysteries
The EMO UK also serves as a College of the Mysteries. The ancient rites of Eleusis, Samothrace, Thebes and Alexandria are legendary. Through our intensive energetic training and our graded Curriculum, and through the Transmissions of our Inner Orders and Esoteric Rites, we perpetuate the traditional and contemporary practice of the Lesser, Greater and Supreme Mysteries, which unfold the Path of Spiritual Purification, Revelation, Ascension and Reintegration. The Spiritual Forces of Humanity, Nature and the Cosmos are a reality: they can be better comprehended and wisely employed. We are more than our physical bodies - our Mysteries exalt the Corpus, the Anima and the Spiritus of the Human Constitution, bringing us back to the Uttermost Truth and the Innermost Light.
To those who come together with love, dignity and good-will, the Mysteries give unity, power and strength.
