Society Of The Guardians
'The Society of Guardians of Grace, Blessings and Sustenance, more commonly known as The Society of Guardians, the 'Et Custosi Tutelae', or just The Guardians is a magical and Qabalistic order with its headquarters currently based in Australia; having smaller operational groups existing in New Zealand.
Traditionally a small group, limited to 22 members, who are described as "technical mystics", however the Guardians have grown somewhat under Jean de Cabalis' leadership; with an additional temple established in Greece. Although small in comparison to other Order's such as the Golden Dawn, many members of the public benefited from the classes and correspondence courses conducted by the Guardians, before their Mt Eden sanctuary closed down, after the death of Michael Freedman.

Famous quotes containing the words society of, society and/or guardians:
“Hardly ever can a youth transferred to the society of his betters unlearn the nasality and other vices of speech bred in him by the associations of his growing years. Hardly ever, indeed, no matter how much money there be in his pocket, can he ever learn to dress like a gentleman-born. The merchants offer their wares as eagerly to him as to the veriest “swell,” but he simply cannot buy the right things.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“One great Society alone on Earth,
The noble Living, and the noble Dead.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Let us enquire. Who, then, shall challenge the words? Why are they challenged. And by whom? By those who call themselves the guardians of morality, and who are the constituted guardians of religion. Enquiry, it seems, suits not them. They have drawn the line, beyond which human reason shall not pass—above which human virtue shall not aspire! All that is without their faith or above their rule, is immorality, is atheism, is—I know not what.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
