The Companions of the Stone (CotS) was a Hermetic magical fraternity deriving its magical system from that of England&rsquo;s Golden Dawn. It was incorporated as a non-profit fraternal corporation in the state of Washington in the United States. Initially, the order offered potential members access to a correspondence course. This was to be completed in a solitary manner. When completed, some individuals would be invited to join the order. After a short while, this system was changed to one where members applied to receive the first degree of the order, corresponding to the 0=0 Neophyte degree within the Golden Dawn. The order recognized a three degree system with the first degree being Neophyte status and the third degree being that of an adept. Between the first and second degrees, a series of four elemental grades were to be passed through as initiations. Each degree or grade had a curriculum of materials to be mastered, books to be studied, and actions to be completed. Only the first degree and the Grade of Earth were in final form when the order dissolved Emerald Lodge. The additional grades and the second degree, along with their curriculums, existed in draft form, which are included here. As the material progresses through the years, a gradual evolution can be seen in it as the organization began to find its own identity separate from that of the Golden Dawn. This process was cut short in 1998. At that time, their was a political disagreement between the three chief officers of the lodge and the rest of the membership of the order&rsquo;s single lodge, Emerald Lodge. The chief officers were frustrated that members were not proceeding through the degrees very quickly and were engaging in social activity at lodge at the perceived expense of proceeding through the material. (The members, of course, thought that the lodge could be social and that they were proceeding just fine&hellip;) When the issues were raised in lodge, where decisions were required to be made by a democratic vote, it became clear that the membership as a whole was at odds with the three chief officers. Because of this, the votes they needed within the lodge to pass any resolutions changing things to address their issues would not be forthcoming. At that point, all discussion and talk of voting was dropped and it was assumed, by the membership, that the issue had gone away, at least for a while. These chief officers also happened to be the board of directors for the corporation of the order as a whole, which gave the lodge it&rsquo;s charter. This gave them the means to take their actions to another level, one not intended by the by-laws of the order. Normally, board seats would not be completely filled by the chief officers of one lodge, to avoid potential abuses, but the order only had a single lodge, so this had not become a reality yet. It was intended that checks and balances in the system would keep power from being abused but the system was designed for a much larger group of people in multiple lodges. The final resolution of the disagreement was that as the board, the lodge officers sent an identical form letter to the members of Emerald Lodge, dissolving the lodge with no advance notice or discussion. Doing this allowed the board to exploit a loophole in the order bylaws concerning membership in the order. Once a lodge was closed, members had to affiliate with another lodge or, after a set period, be removed from the order. All of the members of Emerald Lodge except for the board members fell into this category of people. The board members immediately chartered a new lodge for themselves, acting as the board, with themselves as the officers and members. This allowed them to stay within the CotS while removed all other parties. This allowed the board members/lodge officers to restructure the order and remove dissent without the messy matter of having to charge the members with any wrongdoing (which was necessary to remove people from the order normally). At that point, this archive ends because it comes from the period of Emerald Lodge&rsquo;s existence. The members of Emerald Lodge continued to meet on their own for a few months but, given the troubling nature and smell of this business, eventually moved on to other groups or activities. There was no strong desire to be associated with the Companions of the Stone anymore. The Companions of the Stone may continue to this day under another name though one can guess that the same games are played by its leaders.</pre><br />
