Zhongyongdaoist Posted March 5, 2013 I have noticed that many people within the Western Tradition use the term Frater to name or describe themselves. I was curious what the term Frater denotes and where it comes from?  My 2 cents, Peace  Frater is Latin for brother, used in the Western tradition to assert or imply membership in some secret brotherhood, but also the root for fraternity, like at colleges. Soror is sister and the root of Sorority, but was of course used in the Goldern Dawn for women members of whom there were several who were very interesting and remarkable women. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taiji Bum Posted March 14, 2013 These days it is mostly used by the Golden Dawn and Thelemites. In Freemasonry we just call each other, brother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
