Ceremonial Founding of the World Libertarian Order


Liber Sangrealis

February 2, 1983
Ravenhurst
Royalston, Massachusetts

Ceremonial Founding:

"Further, let it be Proclaimed among the Wise

This day of February 12, 1983

That all Knights and Ladies here signing have organized
Themselves into a purposeful body, now formed as:

The World Libertarian Order

Deriving it's just and rightful authority through it's members by: their careful observation of the continuing lessons of history, their profound understanding and mastery of the great Liber Mundi, their arduous study and initiation into the Ancient Mysteries and their direct and absolute knowledge of God. The World Tree Yggdrasil herein symbolizes an unimpeded future for the evolutionary expression of all living things.

Towards fulfillment of the purpose of this Order we do, in the Great Name of Yggdrasil, pledge themselves:

( The Original Names )

To perpetually strive towards undefiled wisdom and to continually bring to the attention of their fellow Knights and Ladies any and all information which could reasonably be construed as having the potential for increasing individual liberty, earthly happiness, and individual spiritual development.

To, among the profane, dedicate themselves to the promoting of knowledge, truth, and Light through the initiation of such action as will reflect a careful consideration of the relative development of the individuals in question.

To give their lives in service to the Quest, Liberty Triumphant and Eternal, in unfailing vigilance under Sun and Moon and Stars to the end of days.

Love is the Law. Love Under Will.
Hail Yggdrasil !"

Bylaws of The World Libertarian Order


Liber Fides

The original bylaws of the World Libertarian Order were written in a way which pertained to a small group of Libertarians known only to each other, meeting on the mornings of holidays prior to the festivities at various places of Libertarian pilgrimage throughout the world.

As the Order is now constituted, the original bylaws have become irrelevant and have been amended. The bylaws that follow are of more recent origin, and constitute a simple skeleton of current operating procedure to be used by members throughout the world.

The Oath of Allegiance appears at the end of this section.

The Bylaws:

1. Standards and arms of the Order are in existence and are described elsewhere.
Eric Fenris Magnuson is founder and Grandmaster of the Order and will appoint his successor. The duties of Grandmaster involve only the dissemination of material designed to educate the individual and to sustain a spiritual unity promoting leaderless resistance to collectivist tyranny.

2. It is understood that the principles of the Order are outlined at length in the book known as World Libertarian Revolution by Eric Fenris Magnuson, and that after diligent study of this material the candidate will, for purpose of self examination, write an essay summarizing the problems which have beset the continuing evolutionary expression of Life on Earth and what can be done in his own case to help solve these problems. The candidate should keep this essay and append new material as he grows in understanding.

3. All members of the World Libertarian Order should think of themselves as Libertarian in terms of political ideology, but as considerably more activist than usual in terms of creative methodology for the implementation of Libertarian solutions.

4. Individual Knights or groups of Knights are to be completely autonomous and are empowered to self initiate as herein described and to act creatively in establishing procedure for the conduct of meetings and of all activities pertaining to the Quest, so long as all such activities are in all ways totally consistent with the principles of the Order (3).

5. It is expected of the individual Knight that in his personal affairs, as well as in all matters pertaining to the Quest, he will at all times conduct himself honorably and with courtesie and as a gentleperson - this principle prevailing even among the most dreadful of enemies (4).

The Oath of Allegiance should be read and contemplated first. Then with sword hand on the book World Libertarian Revolution and the other hand raised in a fist, the candidate must declare his Oath of Allegiance to the Order.

World Libertarian Order

Oath of Allegiance

"I, (Name), in the Great Name of Yggdrasil, do pledge myself eternally to the principles of the World Libertarian Order and declare my wish that, should I ever falter in my loyalty to the Quest, Liberty Triumphant and Eternal, I hope to receive the worst of what I have abetted. By the inspiration, strength, and authority that I receive from the All One, I do proclaim myself (Name) irrevocably in service to Our Lady Liberty, to whom I now pledge my life in unfailing vigilance under Sun and Moon and Stars to the end of days.

In Furtherance of the New Aeon.
Love is the Law. Love Under Will.
Hail Yggdrasil !"
