The Order of Solomonari is the initiatory path within the Church of Night, devoted to the mastery of Human Magick, personal transformation, and the hidden structures of Reality. It is a covenant of study, practice, and alignment with the deeper currents of The Night.
Membership is reserved for those who seek to move beyond reflection into the disciplined work of study and practice to embody the principles that guide both mind and spirit toward illumination.
The Seven Tenets
I. Arcanum Occultationis — The Veil of Secrecy
Knowledge withers in the mouths of the unprepared. Guard the hidden teachings as relics of fire; for only in silence does forbidden wisdom keep its power intact.
II. Arcanum Sacrificii — The Law of Exchange
All ascent demands a descent. Nothing is given that is not paid for in blood, time, or self. The universe is ledger and judge.
III. Arcanum Illuminationis Perditae — Illumination Through Loss
The sword that takes is also the blade that carves a way forward. Sacrifice is the lantern of the Initiate, and its flame is fed with what once defined them.
IV. Arcanum Reciprocitatis Cosmici — The Cosmic Return
As the storm returns to the sea, so all offerings return to their giver. Power bends back upon the hand that wields it, bearing fruit or poison according to intention.
V. Arcanum Corporis Aurei — The Light Body
The flesh is the first temple and the last. Through discipline, exertion, and chosen suffering, the body becomes a vessel capable of bearing lightning.
VI. Arcanum Mentis Transmutatae — The Transmuted Mind
The mind is a furnace of symbols. Whoever masters its fires masters fear, desire, and perception—and thus becomes author of their own reality.
VII. Arcanum Dominii Practici — Sovereignty of Action
Power unrealized is illusion. Mastery is proven in the world, not in the imagination of the idle or fearful.
The Art
At the heart of the Solomonari lies, The Art—the technical, structured practice of Human Magick and the Nine Degrees of Initiation.
The Art is reserved exclusively for members and unfolds only within the context of study, ritual, and mentorship.
Here, theory becomes practice, and reflection transforms into action—the invisible architecture of change made manifest.
Petitioning The Order
Entry into the Solomonari is not assumed; it is requested. Prospective members follow a formal petition process, which includes:
- Submission of a written petition expressing intent, background, and alignment with the Order’s principles.
- A period of observation, reflection, and participation in Church activities.
- Mentorship and guidance from current Solomonari who sponsor and evaluate the petition.
- Formal acceptance and initiation, marking the beginning of study in The Art.
The process is designed to ensure sincerity, dedication, and readiness to engage with the deeper mysteries of The Night.
Where We Meet
The Solomonari convene in both physical and virtual spaces:
In-Person Gatherings
Select meetings, rituals, and workshops held at Church-sanctioned locations or private sites.
Virtual Circles
A private, gated portion of the Church of Night Discord serves as our ongoing study hall, discussion forum, and conduit for mentorship. Access is restricted by roles, ensuring confidentiality and the preservation of The Order’s inner workings.
The Path Forward
To enter the Order of Solomonari is to choose the life of a seeker who blends reflection with disciplined practice.
It is a path of transformation, rigorous study, and profound insight—a journey not for the casual, but for those willing to meet The Night with intention, courage, and devotion.
