Fraternity of the Hidden Light

The Fraternity of the Hidden Light (also known as FLO or Fraternitas L.V.X. Occulta) is a magical organization and "Aquarian Age" mystery school in the Western Mystery Tradition. The FLO teaches occult sciences, such as Tarot, Qabalah, Alchemy, Astrology, and related Arcane Sciences.

The Fraternity of the Hidden Light traces its lineage to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The Fraternity website (in a section entitled "History") tells the story of the rise of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn but also of a new Order that was founded by former members of the Thoth-Hermes temple of the Alpha et Omega, in New York. Though this description does not give names, the events of which it speaks point to and suggest Paul Foster Case's founding of the School of Ageless Wisdom, later called the Builders of the Adytum or B.O.T.A.

The Fraternity of the Hidden Light was founded in the early 1980s, by Dr. Paul Clark, who trained with B.O.T.A. Clark is the current Steward of the Fraternity and was trained by Paul Foster Case's protege, Ann Davies. The Fraternity has lodges on all continents (except Antarctica).

According to its website, the Fraternity of the Hidden Light exists for a three-fold purpose: “(1) To act as a modern day repository of the Ancient Wisdom teachings of the Tarot, Qabalah, Alchemy, Astrology and related Arcane sciences; (2) To train its members for the service to humanity, by providing a seeding ground for their growth and development through group and individual applications of the Wisdom teachings; (3) To promulgate the Ancient Wisdom teachings in an effort to elevate the consciousness of humanity.” In the Statement of Purpose, the Fraternity emphasizes the importance of service and states that the practices of the Fraternity are for the development of "Wisdom, Power and Love".

The Fraternity of the Hidden Light is structured into several levels. There is first the "Probationary" level, in which training in general esoteric knowledge and basic skills, such as meditation, is given.
