Kóryos Academy
Leadership training for those whom chase the Sun
The Kóryos Tradition is an ancient institution designed to initiate men into their role as Leaders for their communities.
Historically this centred around securing lands and cattle, the prime status symbols of wealth in the ancient world. These fraternal organizations later shifted into the Chivalric Orders of the Middle Ages, most notable among them, the Knights of the Round Table.
Self reliance, teamwork, martial abilities, generosity, and Traditional wisdom are the key components to this process.
In an age of Darkness, we seek to claim the Sun as heralds of a new Dawn - within ourselves first and foremost.
An Age of Heroes.
The aim of this project is to educate and empower those who earnestly seek Self Knowledge and refinement, that in turn they may act as luminaries within their own field of influence.
To Know thyself is the beginning of all wisdom.
- Socrates
For the Ancients, Ritual and a ritualistized life were the means by which not only societal order, but cosmic order was sustained.
There w̶a̶s̶ is no free lunch, action must be taken – and when action is taken in congruence with the potency of informed intent, via dialog with the Divine, it becomes blessed.
This process of working on all 3 levels, (mental/emotional, physical, and spiritual) has been appropriately termed "The Royal Art".
These ritualized actions are symbolic vehicles for those Heavenly cycles and occurrences which weave the wyrd of reality, and when we synchronize our hearts and minds to their ebbs and flows, we enter into the liminal space of Magick. When we do this with others of like mind, we share in the spoils and lift each other up.
For the Kóryos Tradition, even as it morphed into the Chivalric Orders of the Middle Ages, this function was principally situated upon Chasing, and Reclaiming the Sun – hence the Movement East to West, or the descent and rebirth.
Dawn comes for those who seize it, who claim the prize of the Day, and offer it as sacrifice for tomorrow to rise from the Ashes renewed.
