What we’re about
The Builders of the Adytum is a teaching and training Order in the Western Mystery Tradition.
Its teachings and practices are designed to bring about higher states of consciousness, free from the delusion of separateness - thus producing profound forms of realization, liberation, compassion, and more fulfilling ways of living.
Adytum is a Latin term and refers to the inner-most and most sacred chamber in a temple - the Holy of Holies or Sanctum Sanctorum, where the ineffable Divine dwells. And Builders refers to those who endeavor to establish that structure, which is a living temple, “built without hands,” as the old saying goes.
As Builders of the Adytum, we construct our inner shrine by applying the practical secrets of Ageless Wisdom. This wisdom is said to be “Ageless” because, although the means of transmission may change over time, the principles themselves are timeless and forever true.
We would like to welcome you to an Open Forum discussion on the Tarot, Qabalah and the Path of Return B.O.T.A. style! This is also a forum to ask any questions you may have about the Order, our lesson curriculum, the Western Mysteries, and meet like-minded spiritual aspirants on every level of the Path of Return. This is a down-to-earth meeting with an encouraging and supportive vibe and sharing with each other. We are cultivating a community of TRUE B.O.T.A. aspirants who are interested in the Path of Return as taught by our Founders and our teachers, Paul Foster Case and Ann Davies.
May Light Be Extended Upon Your Path
