Tau Malachi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Malachi Eben Ha-Elijah, or Tau Malachi, is a modern spiritual teacher.
[edit] Biography
At the age of eight he met his Teachers, Tau Elijah ben Miriam and Mother Sarah, who taught and initiated him into the Sophian Tradition of Gnostic Christianity, and who exposed him to diverse lineages of both the Western Mystery Tradition and Eastern traditions. He became the protégé of Tau Elijah. Before his death, in 1978, Tau Elijah imparted to Malachi the traditional blessing as his successor in the Sophian lineage, and Malachi received the mantle of the lineage-holder at the age of sixteen. In January, 1983, Malachi took up the mantle of the lineage-holder and founded Sophia Fellowship as an expression of the Order (the Sophian lineage, outwardly known as “Ordo Sanctus Gnosis”), and he has actively served as a teacher and guide to others in the Gnostic Path since that time, holding the recognition of an Elder and Tau in the Sophian Tradition.
Along with his work in the Sophian lineage, Tau Malachi is also a Chevalier in the International Order of Chivalric Companions, a Martinist, and has also received ordination and consecration as an Independent Apostolic Bishop.
Tau Malachi is recognized as being a hospice volunteer and, for a period, a hospice chaplain. A great deal of his work focused on those suffering with HIV and AIDS.
At this point in time, Malachi lives in Nevada City, California.
