Welcome New Ipsissimas in the lineage

November 7th, 2024 was another historical day for the Modern Mystery School: four new Ipsissima were initiated into the lineage of King Salomon. As the Light expands, so does our mission grow. The Ipsissimus and and Ipsissima are anchors of that growing Light as they serve the mission through their unique purpose in the Great Work.

These women have served the lineage in leadership roles that have seen the launch and growth the MMS in entire countries and continents, along with being master teachers, administrators, Healers and Guides in their own right.

It was an hour to have the entire Third Order present for this holy ceremony, Founder & Hierophant Gudni Gudnason, Sovereign Ipsissimus Hideto Nakagome and Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon — as well as Ipsissima Eiko Gudnason and Ipsissima Luisa Nakagome visiting from Japan, as well as Ipsissima Franca Lanyon and Ipsissima Theresa Bullard-Whyke, who were initiated in the spring of 2023, also served to support this important event in our lineage’s history.

It is with great joy that we may now honour these women with the highest initiation in the lineage known as Ipsissimius.

Ipsissima Verla Wade, Honorary Ipsissima

Ipsissima Kathleen Lanyon, Ipsissima of the Governance of the Light

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Christina Mars, Vice-President of Communications for the MMS, began her journey with the Kabbalah shortly after becoming initiated into the mystery school tradition. What started out as a personal odyssey of self-discovery, it became clear to Christina that the power of the Kabbalah was something she wanted to share with others.

Christina has a unique ability to bring the esoteric concepts of Kabbalah into practical, real-life situations and shows others how to apply this wisdom every day. A key motivating factor for Christina is to inspire others to remember that there is choice in life. Empowerment comes from knowing that there is choice and that one doesn’t have to live a life that is not enjoyable or fulfilling.

Magick, ancient knowledge, the teachings of the mysteries on the path of initiation all contain the keys to healing, empowerment, joy and passion in life — and it has become Christina’s mission in life to share these keys with all those seeking and desiring to move forward in their own lives. The Kabbalah and Tree of Life hold those keys.

For more than a decade, Christina has helped many people get to know themselves not only through the Kabbalah but also through personal healing sessions, activations, initiation and the magick of Wicca. As a Wiccan High Priestess and lineage holder for the Wiccan magick in the Modern Mystery School, she has connected many people with the transformational power that exists with the elements and nature, and weaves that connection into all that she does. As a Kabbalah Instructor, she shares the ancient wisdom of the Tree of Life with initiates who wish to master their mind and emotions, fulfill their life’s purpose and connect with the divine expression of themselves and with God.
