For a time, we had a complex hierarchy, with such positions as hiera/hierus, mystagogue, and hierophant. While aspects of this old system remain, this was recently changed - due to confusion with some ceremonial magic orders.

One is either a Mystai (an initiate) or a Friend of the Order. A Mystai is one who has studied for at least 3 years, agrees with our aims and ideals, and has reached 'elder status' within their specific group.

A Friend of the Order is one who is part of a different, though related path (such as Hellenic-inspired Wicca or a variety of Hellenismos), and who can be vouched for by at least five priest/esses of the Order.

A mystai may request ordination as a Priest/ess within the Order, when they receive a call from their patron Deity (or Deities). Also, they must complete a course of study involving mythology, history, ritual practice, and the mastery of oral lore.

As a Priest/ess, they have a duty to respect ALL the Gods, honor their patron(s) especially, and serve their Communities. Also, they can serve as a voice in our Council Meetings.
