Order of the Evening Star

Group Overview: The Order of the Evening Star is the first Order of the Clarian Temple of the Religio Terranova. We are a group of initiates and neophytes within the Clarian Tradition that gather and study in the Southeastern Pennsylvania area.
The Clarian Tradition has a foundation based on the ancient religion of the Romans (Religio Romana) combined with an Italian family tradition of Stregheria (Italian-American Witchcraft) . We follow a path of mysticism and work diligently with our ancestors (the Manes) and the Faery Beings (Fata) . The Clarian Tradition contains elements of Pythagoreanism, Orphicism and Stoic philosophy.
Our tradition has three main degrees with three advanced degrees beyond 3rd. Most importantly, our Tradition has evolved into one that works in unity with the land we now call home. We honor the Ancient Gods of Italy and have a system of teaching that promotes the development of each student's individual talents, as the Order is the sum of all of its parts.
Our teachings will aid the student in developing a sense of inner confidence and balance, a rapport with divinity, social responsibility, and harmonious living within the spiritual and physical world around us. We focus primarily on teaching neophytes how to reconnect their spiritual and physical bodies to all the planes of existence. Once that has been done, we teach the art of maintaining harmony within and without. When one is in harmony with the Universe, the Gods will provide. We teach and drill visualization skills, healing arts, personal growth, "shamanic" skills, prophecy, and communication with nature spirits (faeries) . We are considered an Italian Fairy Tradition.
If one chooses to go through all the elevations, one will not only become a mystic, but an actual oracle of the Gods. We are not a Wiccan tradition. We are of Italian origin and have allowed for a perfect adaptation of an ancient tradition into modern day America. We honor an extensive Pantheon of Deities. Though we teach a system of Italian folk magic to our initiates, our teachings focus primarily on the development of rapport with Deity and nature spirits, with whom we work regularly. We do not follow the Wiccan Rede. We do not call in the "watchers, " nor do we cast circles, which are aspects indicative of Hermetic influence. Our rituals are rather simple and highly experiential, and our main focus is the development of a rapport with deity, not extensive ritualism.
Lunar rites are closed and Solar festivals are by invitation only. Please inquire with Lady Diana Luciano Grayfox for more information.
