MARTINISM AND THE ORDER OF THE WORLD MOTHER
From the Bogaard-Roggeremans study:
1968 (1975) Martinisten Orde der Nederlanden / O*M* des
Pays- Bas
The "Martinist Order of the Netherlands" was founded on September 26, 1968 by Philippe Encausse. Like the O*M* Belge, the Martinist Order of the Netherlands was established after Philippe's Encausse's decision to sign the protocol of the alliance between the O*M* de Paris and the Universal Gnostic Church (E.G.A.)
Philippe Encausse appointed Maurice Warnon to organize and lead the order. Warnon was a member of the Supreme Council in Paris and "co-founded" the O*M* de Paris in 1960.
MAURICE HENRI JOSEPH WARNON ( April 4, 1937 )
In 1964 Warnon left Belgium and emigrated to the United States. Warnon had studied pedagogy, methodology and psychology at the university of Brussels. He later studied Information-Technology at the IBM Centre at Genval (Belgium), at the "Empire State University Albany", and at the Massachussets Institute of Technology in Boston. Warnon is also a Bishop of the "Liberal Catholic Curch" and is, since 1976, the leader of this church in Canada and Belgium. Warnon's wife, Joanna Mathilde Poortman (born March 27, 1937, The Hague, Holland) leads the "Order of the World-Mother", and is an active member of both the "Order of the Round Table" and of the "Martinist Order of the Netherlands". The Warnon-family are living on "King's Garden" in an old mansion which was build in 1820. "King's Garden" is also the headquarters of the M*O des Pays-Bas and the other orders mentioned.
The Order of the World Mother: a line of female priesthood: An Initiatic and Ritualist Movement for Women.
The history page in the website:
The Order of the World Mother was first inspired at Nice, in the South of France, to its Founder Mrs. Elisabeth Warnon, in November l967. The Order became active in Belgium, and a short time after in France, at the beginning of l968. Shortly after, the Order expanded to the North, in Holland, and to the East in Germany and Switserland.

Given this association of Martinism with the Order of the World Mother, it would appear that this feminine order is Martinist.
