A Gnostic Line of Succession 

The Gay Gnostic Fraternity, Trinity Grove and Avalonian Druidcraft hold several Gnostic lines of succession as well as a respectable Martinist lineage. The following  line from the Gnostic Catholic Church is just one example, notable for the inclusion of a few well known names.

Because there is a tactile succession, with the laying one of hands, from one consecrator to another the whole line may be activated to make an inner planes connection with an individual or a group, for magical purposes and for what has been aptly described as "the consecrational transference of initiatic energies".

“The Wandering Bishops are not only heralds of an emerging new world spirituality, but custodians of the most ancient and powerful continuous spiritual lineage that still exists—the Apostolic Succession from the Great Master Jesus. This is the universal Priesthood of Melchizedek. It is not the exclusive property of Christianity, but belongs to the faithful of all nations and all religions.”  (Dr Lewis Keizer)
