Order of the Phoenix
The Order of the Phoenix is free to join and requires no oathtaking, beliefs or dogma. We wish to advance the theory and practice of magic and strive to reassemble the Bible of Images of Thoth (Wizdom). Order of the Phoenix wishes to update the Golden Dawn of Wallis Budge.

Originally associated with Re's cult centre at Heliopolis, by the end of the New
Kingdom its image had spread widely across Egypt, and had also come to represent
the 'ba' of Osiris. This papyrus is painted after a mural in the tomb of Inherkau
in the Valley of the Artisans at Deir-
Builders and artisans who worked on tombs in valleys of the Kings and Queens often built magnificent tombs for their own use. Inherkau was foreman to Rameses VI.
