Calendar Holidays
Feast of Mary Magdalene (July 22) holds special significance. Medieval Christian feast days tied to claimed Merovingian and Templar lineage. Masonic-style initiatory seasonal ceremonies
Pantheon
Esoteric Christian: Essene spirituality, early Jewish Christianity, Cathar influence, Knights Templar theology, Freemasonry. Monotheistic but heterodox, centered on Merovingian-bloodline theology
Magic Practice
Ceremonial spiritual alchemy: initiatory degrees (Lesser and Greater Mysteries), alchemical meditation, sacred text interpretation, ancient breathing techniques, secret hand seals (mudras adapted from Eastern traditions)
Primary Gods
No polytheistic deities. Christ venerated as Merovingian sacred bloodline carrier. Mary Magdalene as the sacred feminine vessel and alleged wife of Jesus — her womb equated with the Holy Grail
