influence of the Order of St. Michael, Sophians frequently discuss and explore principles of chivalry andtheir application in the Gnostic Path.4
The Vow of the Order of Saint MichaelDo not fear in the face of the Enemy;Do not lie, but live by the Spirit of Truth,even on the pain of death;Love the Holy One,with all your heart and soul,mind and strength;Love Wisdom;Defend the orphan and widow,the poor, the outcast and the oppressed;Cultivate love and compassion,and stand as a righteous warrior;Guard the Holy Grail,and the Order of the Grail;Bring peace;Do not do what you hate.This vow becomes the spiritual practice of the knight or dame of the Order of St. Michael and hasouter, inner and secret levels of interpretation and meaning, which are drawn out through prayer,contemplation and meditation on the vow, as well as listening and hearing oral teachings associatedwith the vow.One practice given to new chevaliers for contemplation of the vow is as follows:With sword drawn and upraised, invoke the Great Maggid and speak your vow before the HolyShekinah of Messiah; and pray to receive the knowledge, understanding and wisdom of the vow, andempowerment to uphold it.When you sheath your sword, remember peace and pray for peace in the world, and pray to beempowered as a peacekeeper.(If you are willing, remember your duty and offer your life each day to the service of the Divine Willand Divine Sovereignty.)In this way remember your vow so that you might live by it. Amen.Through this practice, quite naturally, new knights and dames become intimately acquainted with theVow of the Order; yet, as simple as it may seem on the surface, it is also a powerful theurgic gesture inthis practice, which is played upon and drawn out by other practices that are given to the knight ordame as they progress in the service of the Order.5
