Frater?

Recommended Posts

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.
