Curriculum spine
A credit-first living curriculum of the full breadth of Gnosis. Plain-English ice, then a walked path, then later keys. Every room sends you to original sources. We do not reprint books, and we are not a Nag Hammadi anthology.
First Order Gnosis is not a reprint press and not a “Gnostic Bible.” This page is the ordered map of the work: yoga and meditation, runes, breathing, astrology, dream yoga, inner work, home cleansing, rituals, prayers, hermeticism, freemasonry and symbol streams, classical Nag Hammadi where it belongs, and the Practical Gnosis rooms. Our prose orients. The deep work lives on the sites we name.
Every chapter that exists sends you to the original homes of the work, with the source named. Thin means a short note and a stack — useful, not yet a walked path. Planned means it is not written yet; we do not invent a URL. We link only to free, durable pages from the publishers — never to shop walls or commerce shelves that block the reader.
Ice is first contact. A walked path is ordered practice. Advanced is later keys on the same road — never a skip. Jump a depth, or read the master outline by room.
First contact
Plain English. One sitting, one bookmark, one honest week. Ice is how a newcomer enters a room without a stack dump or a vow.
Ordered practice
Stages in order. Handheld first days. Safety named. The methods still live with the publishers we credit — we map; we do not host the manual.
Later keys
Later limbs, projection keys, dense books. Advanced is not a skip and not a homemade esoteric course. If a chapter is later, we say so and send you to the publisher.
