7: Obsidian Elder
The highest rank within the society, reserved for those who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of hidden truths, guiding and shaping the society's path with their wisdom and experience.
​
The ranks of The Black Rose Society are structured in a way that symbolizes the journey from darkness to light. Each rank represents a stage of personal growth and transformation, where members gradually shed their shadow and embrace enlightenment.
​
This is the starting point for all members of The Black Rose Society. Individuals who have recognized the existence of their own darkness and have chosen to confront it. They are in the shadows, both literally and metaphorically, as they begin their journey towards self-discovery.
​
As members progress, they start to gain a deeper understanding of their own shadows and learn to navigate through them. They begin to embrace their darkness and use it as a source of strength and wisdom.
​
Soon members will have learned to harness the power of their shadows and integrate it into their lives. They have gained a sense of balance between light and darkness and are able to navigate the complexities of their own psyche.
​
Moving forward in their journey members will have successfully shed a significant portion of their shadow and have embraced their inner light. They radiate positivity, compassion, and wisdom, serving as beacons of hope and inspiration for others.
​
Once a member reaches the final rank of the Obsidian Elder, they have not only confronted their own shadows, but have mastered them. They have delved deep into the darkest corners of their psyche and have gained a profound understanding of their own darkness. Through this mastery, they have transcended the limitations of their shadows and have become a beacon of wisdom and guidance for others. The Obsidian Elder has achieved a harmonious integration of light and darkness within themselves. They have transcended the duality of good and evil, recognizing that both aspects exist within every individual. By embracing and integrating their own shadows, they have become a living embodiment of balance and wholeness.
