Independent magical orders, traditions, academies and communities — connected by common principles while remaining sovereign in their teachings, leadership and identity.
Phoenix Union is not a new universal doctrine. It is a common ground where autonomous traditions can meet, cooperate and build lasting relationships without surrendering what makes them distinct.
Every member organization retains its own identity, leadership, teachings and internal rules.
Joint projects, dialogue, education and exchange between independent traditions.
Mutual institutional support and a shared commitment to the integrity of members.
A bridge between schools of thought, accumulated experience and living traditions.
Different paths do not need to become identical in order to stand beside one another.
Phoenix Union is built as a network of equals. A member joins the Union — it does not become subordinate to another member tradition.
Phoenix Union was founded by three orders — Magia Sacra, Wicca Vinculum Flame and Ordo Belialis. Ten more have joined since. In this list they stand side by side: every member organization has one vote, whether it founded the Union or joined later.
An order that unites three living currents — Wicca, pagan practice and shamanism — and maintains a continuous line of teaching, initiation and practice within the Union.

working in pairs
An order of the left-hand path, working with the descending current: self-mastery, transformation and personal responsibility for one's own path. The largest founding order by number of members.
A Rhenish order continuing the Rosicrucian writings of the 17th century and the tradition of freemasonry, working with Latin liturgical formulae, astrological tables and an elaborate alchemical symbolism of metals and crystals.
fixed ceiling of 72 — the 72 names of God and the 72 phases of transmutation. New members are admitted only in place of the deceased or expelled, during the September window.
Rooted in the real German esoteric lodges of the early 20th century. Work is centred on Saturnian astrology, the astral body, sexual magic and the overcoming of human limits through self-discipline.
33 — the 33 degrees of masonic initiation and the orbit of experience. Every member holds one degree of the hierarchy.
A teaching closely bound to Habsburg court mysticism, Christian kabbalah and the Viennese Enlightenment. Rituals are held in strict secrecy and make use of sacred architecture and geometry.

40 — the mystical forty days of fasting and purification. New adepts take their blood oath on 17 September.

one hundred adepts divided into inner and outer circles, plus a single Imperator.

In 2026 — the year of foundation — Phoenix Union is represented by its three founders. From 1 January 2027 representation passes to the first elected Praeses Consilii Phoenicis, while the Cancellarius Phoenicis holds the institutional continuity of the whole system.
Phoenix Union is represented by its three founders.
Representation passes to the first elected Praeses Consilii Phoenicis.
The Cancellarius Phoenicis holds the institutional, administrative and technical infrastructure.
During the transitional period any of the three founders may represent the Union — in communication, negotiations and diplomatic contacts. A single founder may not, however, accept a fundamental commitment on behalf of the whole Union: a fundamental treaty, an accepted obligation or an official political statement requires the rules of the Phoenix Council, or the consent of all three founders.
From 1 January 2027 the Praeses is the principal external representative of Phoenix Union. The office is elected, not hereditary, and lasts four years. The first election takes place on 1 January 2027, so the first regular mandate runs 2027–2030, with the next election at the beginning of 2031. The Praeses leads the Council and represents the Union — but the Council decides. A Praeses may serve at most two consecutive terms, then must skip at least one whole four-year term.
The Vicepraeses is legitimised by the same election as the Praeses — he or she is the candidate with the second highest number of votes. If the Praeses is temporarily unable to perform the office, the Vicepraeses deputises. If the office of the Praeses ends by death, resignation or recall, the Vicepraeses automatically becomes Praeses for the remainder of the four-year term — without an extraordinary election and without the mandate passing to the Cancellarius.
The Chancellor holds the institutional continuity of the Union across electoral terms: the administration, the technical infrastructure, the internal system of the Phoenix and the technical direction of its further development. The office is not tied to the leadership of a member organization: the Cancellarius may hand the vote of their order to a successor and remain in office. The office creates no additional vote: while he leads his order he holds exactly one vote — the vote of that organization; if he hands the office over, the vote passes with it and the chancellorship remains with him.
The office of the Cancellarius is incompatible with the office of the Praeses. The Cancellarius may not be elected Praeses, nor may he take over the office even temporarily. Representation passes to the Vicepraeses — never to the Chancellor. That is how the separation of the representative mandate from the technical continuity of the system is guaranteed.
Responsibility, conscious action and protection of the integrity of our traditions and the Union.
Cooperation between different paths without demanding uniformity of belief or practice.
Traditions remain alive when they can grow, renew themselves and transmit knowledge forward.
Membership is based on clear principles. The Union creates a framework for cooperation; it does not claim ownership over the traditions that enter it. The sixteen principles below are the core of the Fundamental Law.
Protection and dispute resolution are two separate systems. Pax Phoenicis has two branches: internal disputes between members, and external disputes where the Union stands behind its member.
Both parties have accepted the Fundamental Law and stand on an equal footing. No camps are formed inside the Union and no member may use the protective protocol against another member before the Union's mechanism has been exhausted.
A non-member has not accepted the Fundamental Law, so the Union cannot compel it to arbitrate. It can, however, take the dispute over, act jointly with its member, demand explanation and propose a solution.
The Phoenix is not neutral towards its own member. But it is impartial in determining whether the conditions for collective escalation are met.
The Commission establishes, the Council decides, the Praeses represents, the Cancellarius ensures continuity. The Council does not investigate — it decides on the basis of a professionally prepared file, and any of its members may submit an alternative draft resolution.
Phoenix Union welcomes dialogue with magical organizations, covens, academies, mystery schools and established communities interested in long-term cooperation across traditions.
