The Alombrados began activities on July 17th of 2004 to continue the mystical practices and scientific exploration of the Alumbrados in light of Thelema and the practices of the OTO. Its name was qabalistically adapted from the original. "Alombrados" was chosen for its practical connection with Miguel Molinos, a saint of the EGC, and Ignatius of Loyola, a strong presence in Catholic New Orleans, both of whom were rumored Alumbrados for their mystical theses.
