The Elodrym Academy is the first Mage Academy in the United States. We offer ... Practical hands on training in magick and mysticism. Classes located in cyberspace or at the forests, beaches, and shops of Santa Cruz, California.
The Order's History We started as a circle of friends and acquaintances, some of whom had known each other and been practicing together for almost ten years. In February 2006, we announced the group formation of the Elodrym and created our web site. Members of the Elodrym gathered in Santa Cruz, CA for Wheel of the Year celebrations and other rituals. We became registered by the State of California in April. Links to scanned images of our Articles of Association and our application to the state to become an Unincorporated Nonprofit Association, and our Bylaws can be found at the bottom of this page. Our Motto
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a positive, encouraging environment for people who are studying the magickal arts and sciences, to celebrate the Wheel of the Year as well as other life milestones with friends and family, and provide a warm and inviting community for those seeking fellowship.
Our Hope for the World We want to work with others to create a world that is egalitarian, maintains a balance between innovation and sustainable living, and encourages conscious spiritual evolution.
Who we are Who we are and what we do is in the unique name Elodrym. It's a combination of words. "El" is Middle Eastern in origin. It means god. "Drym" is British for ridge. So it would translate into God of the Ridge. This reflects our philosophy that Divinity is within everyone and everything. The concept of mages on a ridge is symbolic of having a broad perspective of the world around us and our place in it. It isn't meant to say we are higher up or better. We are seers and feel we should gently share what we know.
How We View Organizational Structure Everyone is worthy of a relationship with Divinity, The All, the Ultimate Reality as it is called by many names and do not require anyone to intercede for them. Elders and leaders in the community just have more experience with esoteric knowledge, ceremonies, teaching, and administrative duties. They do not wear regulated vestments. Regalia can be worn at ceremonies but everyone dresses in their own personal style.
What we do Provide members of the order with rituals both public and private; community celebrations; instruction in magick and mysticism; the chance to contribute to a community library, perform community service, and develop social and professional relationships.
The second branch is forming in Concord, CA.
