2003 - Today

The modern organization of the Aurum Solis, deeply rooted in its origins, has been recognized by numerous scholars, heads of spiritual organizations and former Grand Masters and head of the Order.

Under the management of the Grand Master Jean-Louis de Biasi and the Associate Grand Master Patricia Bourin, the Order has found the stability of its first years of existence. The light of this tradition is now shining on all continents.

The eights rays of the tradition are taught and practiced, allowing everyone to discover the whole tradition.

The advanced traditional theurgic practices are also given to  students of the module “Theurgy – Stella Gloriosa,” which can be compared to the Eastern “Tantra Yoga.”

 

(Please note that a more developed timeline can be found in the booklet presenting this tradition, along with an official declaration (2006) of the previous Grand Master to reaffirm the absolute authority and all rights in and for the Aurum Solis tradition of the current Grand Master Jean-Louis de Biasi.)

Timeline of the Tradition Previous its Modern Manifestation of 1897

The early ages of the “Mediterranean Yoga – Aurum Solis” have been well documented by the Grand Master Jean-Louis de Biasi in his book “Rediscover the Magick of the Gods and Goddesses,” from Llewellyn Publications.

An extensive account about the Tradition of the period between ancient Egypt and 1897 is presented in the booklet.
