Adept

Adept

“An Adept may loosely be described as someone who is an expert in magic. In several magical orders such as the Golden Dawn and A∴A∴ it has the specific meaning of someone initiated into Tiphereth, which is at the centre of the Tree of Life. In the Golden Dawn, an Adept is expected to invoke his or her Higher Genius or Neshamah, to unite the Higher and Lower Wills to manifest the “True Will”, and to expel Qlippothic forces from the Nephesh into the Evil Persona (rather like the Shadow in Jungian theory) whilst maintaining control over the same. The same process is more prosaically called in the A∴A∴ “Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel”.
