Teachings
“True teachings are those that are just as relevant and applicable today as it was in ancient times. Something that is very old does not necessarily make it more powerful nor pure. Applicability is the essence of Purity.”
-Lorman Ip Headmaster of the Sacremyst Academy
Become a Ritual Master through High Ceremonial Magick
Empowered by Initiation and strengthened by constant practice, one’s connection with the divine is not a given in this world. Without the Authority that is afforded by the Initiations and a practice and lifestyle that keeps one resonant with the Light, an individual can spiral farther and farther away from what is good and get sucked into the dark of this world. High Ceremonial Magic is about deepening ones relationship with the truth of the universe and sourcing from the Light. As a graduated Ritual Master you will operate as:
Priest / Priestess
Protector of the Light
Energetic/etheric operations to protect your community
Hold and Lead Temples
Energetically and etherically clear individuals
Discover and make use of the secrets of Sacred Geometry
Learn Esoteric Wing Chun Kuen
This is a serious path. The entire process really depends on the individual. The completion is not defined by any curriculum but more on the vibrational attainment of the aspirant. Expect no less than at least 4 years to complete this process. Those who become Ritual Master Priest/Priestesses also become Shamans.

The Formless Movement Modality exceeds the confines of healing. It is a complete system of self-knowledge and actualization of yourself as a divine being.
Become a Tarot Magician -Essence of Kabbalah and IChing
Despite popular belief, Tarot is not about divination. The tarot is a portable talisman and Grimoire of the core esoteric traditions of Kabbalah and I Ching. As remote as these two concepts seem to be, they area actually one and the same. They are in turn both expressed through the structure and content of the tarot. Through the process of studying the tarot, the aspirant will undergo many activations and will experience many energies as they traverse the energies that make up our universe. There is a clear beginning to this process and it literally has no clear end. The process of Kabbalah and Iching have no end and will only result in bringing the aspirant to a higher plane and higher frequency. Along the way, many kinds of magical processes will be learned and improved upon. This is also encouraged as core to the aspirant who is learning through the shamanic or ritual master programs.
You will be:
Activated in each creative force and archetype of the universe.
Ascend through the tree of life as specific energies thus maturing your spiritual self.
Step into deep shadow work with very esoteric spreads
Expand your intuition and psychic abilities.
Practice different levels of tarot magick.
This is again is for the serious mystic and is very much recommended to someone who is already studying on the Shamanic and/or Ritual Master program.
Learn Esoteric Internal Wing Chun Kuen
Wing Chun Kung Fu has enjoyed much popularity due to the entertainment industries. A very unknown facet of Wing Chun Kuen is that the original form was not external. It was an internal form that was distilled from the internal Kung Fu warriors of the Emei Mountains of China, the Fujian White Crane Kung Fu as well as the Short Strike Fist practice of the Shaolin Temple. The essence of this internal kung fu was preserved through a small handful of practitioners and eventually was propagated through the Red Boat Opera troupes of Southern China. There, Wing Chun Kuen became the combat art which characterized the assassins of the Ming-dynasty resistance to the foreign Ching Rule at the time. By the time it left the Red Boats, Wing Chun became externalized for the public and the internal form was taught only to a small number of very dedicated and favored individuals. Today, despite its popularity, Wing Chun is actually a dying art. Having closely studied Internal Wing Chun Kuen, Lorman discovered that the structure of internal Wing Chun Kuen is inline with the laws of Sacred Geometry. Because of this, it was found that the practice of internal Wing Chun actually furthered the development of the Ritual Master having great Magickal value. In this way, the art is used maximally on a practical basis; all the while preserving the art. Esoteric Wing Chun was hence born. This is why Esoteric Wing Chun Kuen is a core component of the Ritual Master Curriculum.
Esoteric Tai Chi Chuan
Tai Chi Chuan is amongst the most misrepresented martial arts in the world of combat. Lorman Ip (Headmaster) was fortunate enough to have been a student of some of the most skilled teachers who have kept the art pure and internal in nature while most schools have become increasingly external in their approach. From the tender age of 12, Lorman Ip was initiated into Wu style T’ai chi by the the Wu family lineage Holder Eddie Wu and received his first teachings directly from him. In a few years, it was clear that Lorman required more and needed something deeper. He studied for the next 8 years under Master Wong Yi Yim who was already in his mid 80’s by the time they met. Wong Yi Yim was a disciple of Wu Gong Yi who was in turn the grandfather of Eddie Wu. Wu Gong Yi actually professed to have learned his skill from the Yang Lineage. So Master Wong Yi Yim has always maintained that our tai chi represented the pure Yang Line. What made Master Wong highly unique was his ability to throw students across the room while barely even applying the slightest touch. This was the indication to Lorman that the stories of the old tai chi classics were no exaggeration. From that moment on, Lorman was hooked and chased the tai chi rabbit down its deep hole. Over the years, Lorman adapted the tai chi to include elements of his magical practice and hence Esoteric Tai chi was born. Esoteric T’ai chi Chuan is unique to the Sacremyst academy and is actually a part of the Shamanic program.
Reiki - The Sacremyst Method
In accommodating to Modern culture, the structure and integrity of Reiki has taken a backseat to convenience and affordability. Today, it is not a surprise for the average person to know multiple “reiki masters” within the same social circle, most of whom do not practice or at least not much. In most cases, “masters” are made over three weekends. As much as there is a sense to spreading Reiki energy far and wide, there is also something to be said about upholding a standard of practice and being as to what Reiki means and What “Mastery” should mean. The Sacremyst is attempting to correct this by returning Reiki into the spiritual practice that it was initially intended to be. In order to complete the three levels that make up the curriculum, the aspirant must demonstration their adeptness in meditation, understanding of Tantra, Mantra and Yantra, as well as be proficient in Shang Gong, other energy practices as well as energetic anatomy and all around ability to bring down and hold energy and vibration with purity of heart.
