The Liberal Catholic Martinist Order - Wedgwood Lodge
The Liberal Catholic Martinist Order was founded in January 2018 and the Lodge was named in honour of our father-in-faith, Bishop James Ingall Wedgwood, who was himself a keen Martinist.
Initiations commenced in Switzerland in May 2019 and degree work is always conducted in the Lodge at our annual summer gathering.
Members of the Lodge also share the fruits of their personal study of Martinism by writing papers and meeting together via skype, or in person, at least quarterly.
The essence of Martinism is the idea of "Reintegration", which corresponds approximately with the Nirvana of Buddhists, the Moksha of Hindus and even the idea of Salvation among mainstream Christians. Therefore "Reintegration" is the ultimate aim of the LCMO and we use all the tools we have learned in our church and other orders; especially sacraments, meditation and study, to further this great work.
Those who are interested in the more theurgical side of Martinism, as well as Rosicrucianism, have an opportunity to explore these areas through the Societas Italica Rosae Crucis (SIR+C), through which body we have also received our Martinist lineages, being mainly those of Jean Bricaud, Francesco Brunelli, Gastone Ventura & Demetrius Semelas.

"The only Initiation I recommend and seek with the greatest ardour of my soul is the one through which we can enter the Heart of God and induce this Divine Heart to enter ours. Thus shall be perfected the indissoluble marriage that should make of us a friend, brother and spouse of our Divine Saviour. There is no other way of reaching this sacred Initiation than by going deep down into our own being and seeing the living roots and giving of our fruits corresponding to our natures."
