Perhaps one of the most important events for modem man in the history of the Western Mystery Tradition occurred in the 1920s when the Praemonstrator, or ruling Chief, of the Thoth-Hermes Temple, along with three other Officers, reorganized and expanded the teachings of the Alpha et Omega and formed a new Mystery School. This school operated under a new age dispensation und was a traditional order, formed to assist Piscean Age humanity into the Aquarian Age of Brotherhood and Humanitarianism The founders of this new order have since made their own transition, but have left the vestiges of a lofty tradition intact and capable of infinite expansion by those who hold the "keys." And now, the task has fallen to F.L.O., inheritor of these "keys," to expand its tradition.
FRATERNITAS L.V.X. OCCULTA Our name, Fraternitas L.V.X. Occulta (Latin for "Fraternity of the Hidden Light"), refers to that hidden light which is resident in all life, the Spirit Within.
