In Memoriam – Brian O’Neill

The Academy of the Opened Ways wishes to extend our condolences to the family and friends of Brian O’Neill, a much-loved senior Initiate of the Servants of the Light, our parent school.

Brian was a true adept; an initiate of the Third Degree, well trained, knowledgeable, committed to his work in the Mysteries, a consummate ritual magician and above all, a man with the highest levels of integrity and decency.

As Master of Lodges he inspired Magi and lodge members alike with creativity, ideas and encouragement. As a member of the SOL Administrative Council he supported Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki and the school with untiring efforts and devotion to his work.

May the Opener of the Ways escort him safely through the Duat to the Halls of Amenti where his heart will not be found wanting in the scales against the feather of Ma’at.  May he rest in peace in Amenti and may his soul rejoice in the light of a life well-lived and an immeasurable contribution to the Light.
