Jean Bricaud had studied for the priesthood at a Roman Catholic seminary, at the desire of his parents. At the age of 16 he had left the seminary and started to work as an employee of the Crédit Lyonnais. In Lyon he starts to visit Elie Alta ( author of i.a "Le Tarot Égyptien, ses symboles, ses nombres, son alphabet, 1863 ) , the spiritist and therapeutist Bouvier, pupil of Eliphas Jacques Charrot, who instructs Bricaud into the Kabbalah and Occult philosophy. In 1889 Bricaud corresponds with Brahme Kopp-Robur, who dissuades Bricaud from embracing a religion incomprehensible to the western mind. In 1889 Bricaud also met Papus. In 1901 Synésius consecrated Jean Bricaud as Bishop into the "Église Gnostique". Bricaud, Tau Johannes, received the "Episcopate of the Diocese of Grenoble-Lyon".
