Engaging with Men’s Groups: OJM’s Depth Approach to Spiritual Evolution

The Order of the Jaguar Marigold (OJM) transforms men’s groups by merging Christian Mysticism, Depth Psychology, and Integrative Self-Analysis. This unique approach fosters spiritual evolution, brotherhood, and a shared mission to defend the Soul against materialism, empowering men to uncover divine purpose through sacred service.

The Quest for the Holy Grail

The quest for the Holy Grail is still before us. This invocation is to uncover the purpose of God, hidden and bound in the wounds of our past. And like the knights of old, we must begin this quest as they did:

They thought it would be a disgrace to go forth in a group. Each entered the forest at the point that he himself had chosen, where it was darkest, and there was no way or path. — Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Tradition

The Order of the Jaguar Marigold (OJM)

The Order of the Jaguar Marigold (OJM) is transforming the landscape of men’s groups by merging spiritual evolution with sacred service. OJM emphasizes a higher calling — spiritual warfare and the defense of the Soul.

Candidates undergo training in a psycho-spiritual practice called Integrative Self-Analysis, which integrates:

• Christian mysticism

• Neuropsychoanalysis

• Depth psychology

This practice equips members to confront existential and metaphysical threats to the soul of humanity.

Brotherhood Through a Shared Mission

OJM fosters brotherhood through a shared mission — an intense commitment to spiritual authenticity, resisting destructive ideologies like materialism and transhumanism. Rather than merely providing emotional support, OJM cultivates a profound sense of divine purpose, where men stand united to fight for:

• Virtue

• Beauty

• Human dignity

Titles like Sovereign Knight of the Jaguar Star, Sovereign Chaplain, and Prior honor those who devote themselves to the sacred journey of discovering and fulfilling their unique spiritual purpose.

The Role of Warrior-Therapist-Priests

At OJM’s heart is the warrior-therapist-priest, a man who embodies three roles:

Role	Description
Warrior	Fights spiritual battles against transhumanism and materialism.
Therapist	Heals the psyche using Integrative Self-Analysis.
Priest	Guides others to divine beauty through Christian mysticism.

The Holy Grail: A Symbol of Soul Fulfillment

As King Arthur drinks from the Holy Grail, he reflects:

I didn’t know how empty was my soul, until it was filled. — Arthur, Excalibur

Revolutionizing Masculinity

OJM is revolutionizing what it means to be a man through initiation — empowering members to evolve spiritually, embody authentic masculinity, and defend the sacred in a world threatened by confusion and darkness.
