Founding and Lineage
The founder of our society was initiated into the highest grade of magickal practice in the Solomonic tradition after many decades of metaphysical study.
Our physical lineage can be traced from the founder of our society, through the Golden Dawn in England, and all the way back to King Solomon himself.
What we believe
That learning new tools, techniques, rituals, etc. is less valuable than mastery of existing knowledge.
Put another way: a carpenter does not become a master carpenter by buying a new drill at Home Depot every month. A carpenter becomes a master carpenter by buying a small number of tools and becoming incredibly proficient in their use by dint of practice and experience.
We are spiritual carpenters; as a society we focus on supporting our members to actually grow spiritually rather than gathering drills that get put on a shelf and have little value other than propping up the ego.
That the most vital mechanisms for promoting true spiritual growth are: meditation, ritual, and service.
Meditation brings the seeker into contact with their Higher Self, their Greater Being. Meditation helps the spiritual seeker to gradually reduce attachment to the body and all of its phenomena, and instead attach their sense of self to their timeless spiritual essence. This is vital for all higher magickal operations. Ritual helps build spiritual muscle, elevates vibration, and opens doorways to higher magickal realms and to contact with beings of higher vibration. And service provides the spiritual jet fuel that provides the power needed to achieve spiritual liftoff.
That the work of the lineage of Solomon, as passed down to our teacher from his teacher, is the best, fastest, most powerful way to serve the world and is a vital part of keeping Light on the planet.
That we do not need to become financial slaves to partake of these fruits.
And, on the other hand, that a fulsome energy exchange that includes financial exchange and service to the community is a very important and vital part of ensuring that we can receive the fruits of this work. The more we give, the more we will receive; yet to give beyond our means is unwelcome, for over time it pushes us into a kind of financial slavery that ultimately destroys our ability to serve the Light.
That our community is one of our greatest assets.
Individually we can each serve the Light. But as a group, unified, together, and committed to common purpose, we are exponentially greater. Our ritual is more powerful. Our service is more profound. Our community is one of our greatest assets, and we nurture it and support each other as brothers and sisters together.

I have been a student of metaphysical teachings for many years now enjoying my spiritual evolution, learning, growing and navigating through life feeling increasingly empowered. I have found myself within an incredible & powerful ancient lineage in which the SGF is founded upon.
Throughout my life I’ve been searching for my purpose. I found myself attracted to healing expos and tarot card readers. Every time I attended one of these events, I left with someone else holding the key to my life. Then I found SGF! They handed me my own key and gave me the tools needed to unlock who I am!
SGF has been an extremely supportive place to be and to learn in.
SGF teachers and members are the real deal! Caring, compassionate, and creative individuals who walk the walk and talk the talk. We are an intentional community here to serve humanity through action!
Most important for me is that SGF holds true to lineage, offering incredibly deep teachings and all while based on Integrity, Caring and Empowering peoples lives.
