Why an Unbroken, Ancient Lineage Matters on the Spiritual Path
In a world overflowing with spiritual information, not all paths lead to transformation. A lineage is a living tradition passed teacher-to-student in an unbroken chain that has served thousands of years before you and can serve you and others today. It is carried through a holy process of initiation and sacred teachings.
Verified Tradition: Over 3,000 years of lineage tracing back to King Salomon, preserving authentic, time-tested teachings.
Initiatory power: not just knowledge, but actual energetic transmission through a holy process. All great masters walked the path of initiation to fulfill their divine purpose on Earth.
Integrity & Protection: Accountability from teachers who are trained, certified, and upheld to standards through safeguards of the Modern Mystery School.
Lineage Holders: main key holders who are responsible to administer and maintain the purity of the lineage and its teachings.
Results: thousands of years of proven effectiveness, with over 44,000 initiates worldwide today.
Unlike modern “new age” teachings, which often take pieces of ancient systems without context, a true lineage offers accountability depth, accuracy, and power.
It ensures you are not just collecting practices,
you are walking a real path of progression.

The Modern Mystery School is one of the 7 Mystery Schools in the world. It is the only Mystery School opened to the public. It opened in the late 1900s to support the evolutionary shift in humanity. It is a time to share the keys and teachings to support humanity in reaching their fullest potential. All the Mystery Schools have a shared mission of world peace, each with different keys. The Modern Mystery School holds the Lineage of King Salomon and offers the keys and Path to Know Thyself.

Every lineage has main key holders with a huge responsibility to anchor the lineage on the planet and hold the authority to keep the mystery school open to the public. In our lineage the key holders are held by three who hold all the keys of the Lineage, calling it the Third Order. They work directly with twelve women in leadership called The Council of 12 who support the direction of the lineage. Other leaders in the school hold specific keys to areas such as Kabbalah, Alchemy, Shamanism, etc. Similar to someone who studies in a university to become a doctor, these individuals have specific titles, such as Sovereign or Ipsissima to honour their own study, mastery, and responsibility within the lineage.

YOUR PATH, YOUR JOURNEY
We live in a world where tradition is fading. Families seem more fragmented, and many people have lost touch with their roots, their values, and the meaning of where they come from.
I was raised surrounded by all four of my grandparents, listening to stories of Italy and learning family recipes by standing beside my Nonna in the kitchen, not watching a YouTube video. Those moments taught me the power of tradition, heritage, and wisdom passed from one generation to the next.
When I discovered the Modern Mystery School, and learned that its Lineage of King Salomon has remained unbroken for 3,000 years, with Hermetic teachings preserved for over 8,000, I immediately understood the magnitude of what I had found. Within twenty minutes of my first class, I felt the purity and authenticity of this path. It was unlike anything I had ever encountered.
In traditional martial arts, lineage is honoured openly and teachers are remembered because the path exists only through those who carried it forward. The Mystery School is the same. You don’t just read about lineage; you meet the key holders. You sit with them, learn from them, ask questions, and receive direct guidance. In a world that has nearly forgotten the value of real spiritual teachers, this is a rare gift.
I am the teacher I am because of those who walked before me, and I hold deep gratitude for each of them.
If you feel called, attend a class or experience a healing within this Lineage. Give yourself the gift of direct experience, not by reading about it, but by feeling it for yourself. Only then will you know.
