| - Credit to Castle Falkenstein Core Book AKA The White Lodge The members of the White Lodge believe that they are the agents on Earth of a race of powerful, ethereal beings called the Mahatmas. Once masters of all New Europa, these creatures (who theoretically live on the Lost Continents of Lemuria and Mu) now guide the White Lodge to higher consciousness through their teachings. A mixture of Cabalism, Buddhism, Taoism and sorcery, these teachings call upon Mankind to turn away from technology and to embrace a life of simple mediation. As a result, the Lodge is often found sorcerously sabotaging technological accomplishments or sending mystic dreams to influence those the Lodge wants to subvert. Needless to say, this often puts them in direct conflict with the Lodge of the Temple of Ra, which prizes superscience above all other things. The White Lodge might be taken as a group of powerful lunatics, were it not for the fact that many other Orders truly suspect that the Mahatmas are really agents of the Unseelie or worse. The White Lodge’s members can be recognized by the mystical infinity symbol they wear, either as a tatoo at the base of the neck or hidden by forehead hair, or in pendants or rings. Ritual garb when practicing the Art are long white, cowled robes with the infinity symbol in blue on the front of the hood. Meetings are held in private temples or in members’ homes or clubs; the White Lodge is scattered all over New Europa, although recently it has gained ground, particularly in Vienna.
