October 31, XXXIII AES (1998 C.E.) marked the performance of a GBM working which served to open a Shadow Gate. This is a functioning gateway, first for Initiates between other spheres of Magick andother states of being and secondly as a connective matrix between the Temple of Set and Japan. Hereafter the gateway shall be known as the Ankokumon Pylon. Focus for Initiates is generally upon magickal development, but also on Japanese magical traditions and the adapting & synthesizing of both Western and Japanese/Asian traditions.

The Ankoku-mon Pylon is a geographical Pylon, membership open only to those living in Japan within travelling distance of the greater Tokyo area.
