This glossary or dictionary is but a small introduction to the vast scope of the Gnostic Teachings. The knowledge given in the writings of Samael Aun Weor ranges across the whole of human experience and therefore draws on the world's great treasure of language and mystical expression; what cannot be expressed accurately in one language or religious context may find its perfect meaning in another tongue or theology. Glorian Publishing invites additions, suggestions and corrections for all the terms in this Glossary. | |

| Vestal | A term derived from Roman religion, referring to a priestess of Vesta. While still little girls, they were chosen from prominent Roman families. Their duties included the preparation of sacrifices and the tending of the sacred fire. If any vestal broke her vow of chastity, she was entombed alive. The vestals had great influence in the Roman state. Their primary duty was to work in the sacred practice of Alchemy with the Initiates of the temple. The use of Vestals is no longer lawful and is not a part of any White Tradition in these times. |

Quote of the Moment
“It is impossible to experience Reality as long as the Essence, the Buddhata, the Soul, continues bottled up within intellectual dualism. Opposing opinions, the struggle between opposite concepts and antithetic ideas, correspond to the different illusory functions of the mind.”-Samael Aun Weor, The Doomed Aryan Race
The Tower of Babel
