Thanks for the input. I understand that most of the material is coming from what Israel Regardie disclosed probably from what he learnt from Crowley and most societies following the 3 grade system are probably using channeled information at the highest grades to guide them or the secret chiefs as they call them.
With a bit of research i have only found one group that seems to have a direct linage to Mathers and the original H.O.G.D from 1888. I was also interested to read that this group says the Hermetic order is but an outer order for the portal grades going up to 7:4 which becomes a Rosicrucian society in my understanding, then from 8:3 at the Supernals till 10:1 is the order of adepts called the secrete chiefs who the group claims are physical people in Europe as it were but communicate astrally as well as physically.
However the system does have a few bumps in the road for me, the fact the the 3 founders of the H.O.G.D are master mason who in turn studied under the Rosicrucian Society of England which in turn is based upon the German order of the rosy cross from 1750. With everything i have heard about masonry it does raise a few questions with me. But over all the system does seem positive. It could well simply be a positive linage that has a part of it that went rouge and became distorted thus resulting in different linage.
