My
Fraters and Sorors,
With the celebration of Samhain (Halloween) and the weather
starting to turn colder, we are reminded that the end of this
year is approaching. Soon, Christmas Trees and Chanukah Lights
will be seen everywhere. As we reflect back upon this past year
we have many accomplishments that each member of the Fraternity
can be proud of. Preparations have been taken for the
consecration of many new lodges, around the world. Two new
Probationary courses were completed (Elements of Ceremonial and
The Pattern of Perfection) for study by mail. Many significant
tasks were completed in the inner work. In addition to this we
will have a new book published by Thoth Publications entitled:
"By Signs and Symbols: Initiation in the Western Mystery
Tradition," that I hope everyone will enjoy. On top of all
this, preparations are going forward for the 25th Anniversary
International Conclave in October, 2007, to be held in Los
Angeles, California, USA, where all members are invited to
gather together for a weekend of Fraternal activities and
celebrations.
Yes, we can all be proud, because of your efforts the
fraternity is emerging as a force for good and for the
advancement of the light. The work is now ever morewidely
available to train sincere aspirants in the ancient system of
the Lesser and Greater Mysteries of Initiation.

But, we should not and cannot rest on our
past accomplishments. The Third Order has further tasks for us in
the year to come. 2007, will be a very important year for the
establishment of "the reign of harmony and the empire of light."
A friend of mine, when questioned about how
they could contribute to the work of the Hierarchy of Light
answered: We all can contribute the "Three "T's": our Time; our
Talent; and, our Treasure. That is very true. Only you know how
much time you have available to forward the cause of the Light.
Only you know where you talents lie, unless you step forward to
volunteer for service. We all must "chop wood and carry water.
As this year draws to a close I would like
you to consider donating some of your "Treasure." Remember your
Fraternity when you are thinking about your charitable donations.
Remember, gifts to The Fraternity of the Hidden Light are
completely tax deductible under IRS code 501.3c. Do consult your
tax adviser. You may send your contributions to: The Fraternity of
the Hidden Light.
In the meantime, may you rest beneath the
Shadow of His Wings whose name is Peace.
