The term "Magister" should not be confused with the traditional master's degrees (especially those that predate the twentiethth century) whose English-language names (containing Master) have New Latin counterparts (containing Magister). The LHP use of the term in a different context, ie Magister Templi,  needs separating from the RHP appellation of The Magister that has been applied to myself since the 1960s. Magister Templi, or Master of the Temple (8°=3□) is an A∴A∴ adoption of the term. The A∴A∴ is an occult organisation (often held to stand for Argenteum Astrum, which is Latin for Silver Star) described in 1907 by Aleister Crowley. The degree Magister Templi also exists within the thirty-three degrees of Scottish Rite Masonry. Aleister Crowley had been such a Mason. I am not and, given the Path I have taken, I would not be permitted to hold any degrees in Masonry or any other Left-hand Path organisation; moreover, neither would I want to. Crowley was a  Magus (9°=2□), and became an Ipsissimus (10°=1□), ie beyond the comprehension of the lower degrees. An Ipsissimus is free from limitations and necessity and is, essentially, the highest mode of attainment within Thelema.

My acceptance of the term is as the word implies when correctly defined, ie a Teacher or a Master. At school the teachers were always referred to as masters; at least, they were at my school. Masonry, and especially Thelema, is totally incompatible with the Way of the Disciple, seeking the Light Divine.

I was not always formally in persona Christi or alter Christus. That occurred when I entered the sacred priesthood and was later episcopally consecrated. I did not choose so to become, but was chosen; indeed called. I was always, therefore, a Magister, even before I accepted use of the term spiritually.

I gradually understood my journey was more mystical than "habitual," more spiritual than "religious," and that "churchianity" held less appeal than the Christianity expressed from deep within my being.

Hence the spiritual aspect of my creative art, writing, music, thoughts and lifestyle is pre-eminent.
