  • The 'Fellowship of Fortuna’ is a body of teachings, a philosophy, and a contemporary way of living. The basic principles of this movement are ground in the assumption that chance or luck is the one and only trait that all people of our diverse world hold in common. As a result, the phenomenon of chance provides a platform from which human beings can unify, learn and grow. The realization of this potential for global harmony is the primary aim of the Fellowship’s teachings and practices. Though the cornerstone philosophies of Fortuna are closely intertwined with Buddhist and Daoist value systems, the Fellowship of Fortuna is neither a cult nor a religion, but a culture. In fact, religious affiliation, according to the Fellowship, “is no more important than the label in your shirt collar.” In regards to God, the members of the Fellowship of Fortuna, or Fortunates as they are called, believe that given the glorious and awesome nature of the universe itself, there must a supreme being or God. However, given the limitations of the human mind, identification of this being is an absolute impossibility. Assuming this, as well as the fact that the universe was created by chance, happenstance and the random spirals of Fortuna’s wheel, the ‘Master or the Infinite Universe’ must be none other than fortune itself. Their figurehead, the goddess Fortuna is held as the central representation of this ethos. Fine art is an identification within the movement. The creation or appreciation of the arts serves as a physical embodiment to the intellectual and philosophical pursuits of chance.
