The Hidden Church of the Graal
"The priest is an alchemist and the altar is his workbench."
The Hidden Church of the Graal is a Round Table forum for Esoteric, Gnostic and Liberal Catholic clergy, who are members or friends of the Holy Celtic Order of the Temple.
The aim of the group is to be an ecumenical fellowship, founded on the our common commitment to Esoteric Christianity in the Catholic or Orthodox tradition.
Our highest and most potent ritual working is of course the Mass, as celebrated by all Apostolic churches, yet to this fundamental and deceptively simple practice we aim to bring a high awareness, a beatific vision, so that every Mass celebrated in a state of mystical Union and awareness becomes the Mass of the Graal.

"Two traditions meet in Avalon, the ancient faith of the Britons and the creed of Christ"
Awaken and come, awaken and come, awaken and come.
Come from the depths of your Elemental Being
and lighten our darkness.
Come in the name of the White Christ and the Hosts of the
Elements.
Come at our bidding and serve with us the One Name above
all Names,
the Lover of Men and of the Elemental Peoples.
The Great name - of JEHOSHUAH - JESUS.
He who said as he descended into the Underworld:
There shall be no night where my people are -
And the night shall be as day in the light of the eternal fire -
And there shall be peace where my people are -
The peace of the heights above the winds.
And there shall be purity.
Fire and Air - Fire and Air -
For Power to serve the Master.
Dion Fortune
The Grail, whether chalice or cauldron,
Gives of its grace unstinting
To gentle and simple, wise and wanting.

A hymn to the Holy Graal by our predecessor, St Tugdual of St Dolay, Bp.
1. O Divin Graal Incomparable
Ouvre-nous la Porte du Ciel !
Tu es en tous points, délectable
Et plus suave que le miel.
2. Nous vénérons l’Auguste Table
Où gît ton Corps Immaculé
Avec ton Sang tout ineffable
Qui font l’ennemi reculer !
3. Au Seigneur en Trois Personnes,
Rendons gloire soir et matin ;
Qu’en la Patrie céleste Il donne
A tous : joie en la Vie sans fin. Amen.
To the tune "O Salutaris Hostia".
Ouvre-nous la Porte du Ciel !
Tu es en tous points, délectable
Et plus suave que le miel.

"Believe us, Truth is simple and unconcealed, while falsehood is complex, deeply hidden, proud, and its worldly knowledge, seemingly a glitter with godly luster, is often mistaken for divine wisdom. You that are wise will turn from these false teachings and come to us, who seek not your money but freely offer you our greater treasure. We desire not your goods, but that you should become partakers of our goods. We do not deride parables, but invite you to understand all parables and all secrets. We do not ask you to receive us, but invite you to come into our kingly houses and palaces, not because of ourselves but because we are so ordered by the Spirit of God." Confession Fraternitatis
