| The Mission of the
Mystic Knighthood
On the path of self-mastery, one might
need guidance and resources. The Mystic Knighthood is devoted to
this, offering training to raise one's level of physical prowess,
mental clarity, and spiritual depth. We are here to guide you on
this path, and offer fellowship when you hit difficult areas in
your life. Guided by the virtuous principles of our sacred
code, we live our lives for the betterment of the community.
The Mystic Knighthood exists to provide guidance to those engaged
in their self-development, providing the opportunity to help you
develop yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually, all at one
place. Our goal is to serve as shining examples of personal achievement,
living our lives in service to the world around us. We are not a cult, religion, or sect. We are a simple community that provide guidance, and a platform to share with other who seek the same goals.
What is a Mystic Knight
A Mystic Knight is a person who is
virtuous and honorable. He behaves with integrity and always elects
to act with justice over all other possible options. The way of
the Mystic Knight is a continuous path of physical, mental and spiritual
self-development. Choosing to walk the path of the Mystic Knight
will change your life for the better, empowering you with great
abilities and self-trust. It will help you acquire acute senses,
both physical and mystical. You will develop a sense of self-worth,
a cunning mind, impressive physical attributes and a spiritual energy
un-comparable to the simple warrior.
Becoming a Mystic Knight
To
become a Mystic Knight, you must work on many aspects of yourself
simultaneously. You have to take care of your body with good nutrition
and physical training. You have to practice your mind to function
correctly. While a religious activity is not required, you must
also develop your inner self, spiritually. It is recommended to
practice a martial art of your choice, combining both mental and
physical training at once. Become
a member of the Mystic Knighthood to access the training material.
Guest membership is free, and becoming an active member will allow
you to progress in the knighthood and access higher level training
material as you progress.
Making progress is the most important part. Whatever
level of strength, competence or spiritual depth you have acquired
yet is of no importance. The main goal of walking the Mystic Knight’s
path is to start at the level you are, and practice yourself at
becoming better. You are the one who selects how fast you will travel
the path, and far you will go.
... of the Crowned Hearth
There has been hundreds of Mystic Knighthoods thru
the centuries. Although none are called "Mystic Knighthood"
by itself, the terms "Mystic" and "Knighthood"
often appeared in their name. We will refer to ourselves as the
"Mystic Knighthood", but for the purpose of differentiating
ourselves from other knighthoods that existed before us, the official
name of our Order is the "Mystic Knighthood of the Crowned
Hearth", referring to our goal to develop a pure heart of Humility,
Strength, Justice and Compassion.
Origin of the Mystic Knighthood
There was a time when knights were
proclaimed by royalty, and only thru such proclamation could one
become a knight, for it was told that God had placed the king or
queen on the throne, and only by divine intervention could one be
proclaimed a protector and servant of the royal family. Thus, knighthoods
were made out of a group of knights, all serving under the king
or queen of a country. Today, with almost no more monarchic societies,
we remember the valor and the power that knights represent. The
knight is a symbol of any ideal to attain.
Hence there came a group of people who wanted to share
this opportunity with the world so that all could aspire to reach
this ideal representation of a knight, serving with Justice and
Compassion. Not proclaimed by a monarch, but by the shared will
of a few idealists, the Mystic Knighthood was birth in 2004. Offering
training and support to our members, we encourage physical, mental
and spiritual training, and the adoption of a code of conduct that
we call “The Code”, which is a guide of values (that
does not overrule your country’s legal code).
Why join the Mystic Knighthood
Our training approach works on developing all aspects
of the self: body, mind and spirit.
Each new member of the Knighthood will receive training
support and guidance from more experienced members.
The cumulative intention of every member to attain
their high goals of self development will consciously and subconsciously
support the development of every other member, in a synergetic mental
and spiritual energy.
Members can post support requests that our Knight-Priests
will assist on a spiritual level, while other advanced members will
try to answer your questions, or offer support in your trials.
Our multi-cultural approach respects each member’s
traditions, occidental and oriental, in their cultural, religious
and spiritual beliefs.
Our training programs are suited for members to study
alone or in group.

Lodges and meeting places
The Mystic Knighthood's lodges are places where many
members of the knighthood decide to meet. Without being secret,
it should have some level of privacy. It can be a sporadic meeting
in a member's living room, or a well organized lodge with a schedule
and meeting place.
Members are invited to organize their own lodges and
to handle their meetings according to the Lodge and Study Group Rules. We will
provide a list of improvised and organized lodges as they organize
themselves.
Hierarchy and
advancement
The more a knight progresses in the Knighthood,
the more he/she should be in service to those with less experience.
Titles are there for recognition, not authority. The authorities
in the Mystic Knighthood are the Head Knight and the Head Priest,
with rights limited to the management of the Knighthood's operations.
This organization will not encourage elitism and sectarism. All
members must remain free to act as they wish in every situation.
We promote self-mastery and free-will. Click

Logo, Sigil and
Decree
By developing the four virtues of the Mystic Knight
in our heart and mind, we can touch the subtle truth inside us,
an unspoken truth where we become the king/queen of our own experience
of life. The contemplation of the Mystic
Knighthood Sigil, and pondering the virtues of The
Code will bring you closer to this ideal of self-mastery and
free-will. The sigil will set an image in your mind to support the
concepts of The Code and encourage virtuous behaviors in your daily
life. Affirming the Decree will
also nourish the ideal presented by the Knighthood.
