The house
About
First Order Gnosis exists so a newcomer does not have to guess which door is a school, which is a scripture archive, and which is an encyclopedia entry.
Mission
To offer a trusted single map of Gnostic resources — a library and a path — and to keep credit with the people who did the work. The public home of that map is https://firstordergnosis.com. The curriculum spine is Map of the Work: beginner ice, walked paths, and later keys, with every room sending you to original sources.
What we publish
Orientation, labels, and links. We write enough prose for you to choose a next step. We do not host complete books or replace the classrooms and churches those books belong to.
Methodology
We research a source, verify that its URL still works, prune dead links, and label the tradition so Practical, Classical, and Academic voices are not collapsed into one pile. The current check date is on the home page and in the footer.
Credit policy
Always name the source. Prefer a link-out over a paraphrase that could be mistaken for the original. Any quoted excerpts stay brief and attributed; we do not republish long texts. The working list of hubs and reference articles is on About / Sources.
If you are new to Gnosis, begin with the introduction at Start here or the orientation guides. If you need the legal and safety language, see the disclaimer.
