I've tried to cast some spells from this book, and I think my energy was off or something because I don't have a Mercedes, most of my enemies are blissfully living, etc. Kinda disappointed If, you actually read this whole book, you are certifiably insane.

By going through a graded course such as the Cicero's, "Self Initiation," or "Modern Magick," by Donald Michael Kraig and using this book as supplementary material one could make much progress upon the and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order path by this Golden Dawn tradition. Re: Initiation. Temple initiation is by far the ideal route for those to whom this tradition resonates. This book contains invaluable material to study side by side with ones own temple material. That being said, it would be redundant of me to point out that this book contains nearly every imaginable "spoiler," for those who will seek that path. So there are several choices. To leave and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order initiations alone until one has the privilege of experiencing them, or to carefully dissect and understand them one at a time, until at great length they are built into ones aura, whether working with a temple or Rites. It is to those seeking the latter that I dedicate the following. Spend and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order least several months on the study of the Neophyte initiation. The Ciceros recommend building a temple and give a well thought out course for self initiation. I would recommend building a small scale model of the temple, or even organizing it like a paper chess board. Break down the entire classical ritual and understand each of its parts. One will also see what is omitted from the Ciceros version and get a better glimpse of the entire ritual. This is nice to do in combination with the "Z" docs. Spend much time and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order Z. The Z documents are for the Adept Heirophant who will officiate the initiation, and for the officers who will be performing it. Break it down, learn the significance of each piece. Take notes and try to understand the significance of each part, officer, piece of furniture and item used. Try to discover the elements of the ritual, perhaps re-examining it after each chapter of "Modern Magick," or similar, is completed. The Golden Dawn tradition is really historically amazing. Even though much of the material was available in other sources at the time of the formation of the GD, no other single source brought it all together so cohesively, often combining extraordinarily rare and obscure texts. This century which has followed its birth has seen countless contributions from many adepts who have worked through and pieced together a collective opus unknown and unmatched in history. The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings those who master this work there are a multitude of areas which the next generation will expand. This is a potentially never ending sea of expansion of which, in its already current vastness, it is possible we have merely seen the first drop of that which will one day be an ocean. I am the only being in an abyss of Darkness, from Darkness came i fourth, ere my birth from the Silence of a Primal Sleep. View 1 comment.

On the one hand, it's historically useful to have the practices of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn down on paper, considering how influential this system of magic has been. On the other hand, as a manual of practical instruction, this is almost useless. The bulk of the book consists of elaborate rituals that require a small fortune in participants, props, real estate, and costumes, as well as the memorization of huge chunks of dense text.

The The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings Order of the Golden Dawn Latin : Ordo Hermeticus Aurorae Aureae ; or, more commonly, the Golden Dawn Aurora Aurea was a secret society devoted to the study and practice of the occultmetaphysicsand paranormal activities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known as a magical orderthe Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was active in Great Britain and focused its practices on theurgy and spiritual development. Many present-day concepts of ritual and magic that are at the centre of contemporary traditions, such as Wicca [1] [2] and Thelemawere inspired by the Golden Dawn, which became one of the largest single influences on 20th-century Western occultism. Westcott appears to have been the initial driving force behind the establishment of the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn system was based on hierarchy and initiation like the Masonic lodges ; however women Rites admitted on an equal basis with men. The "Golden Dawn" was the first of three Orders, although all three are often collectively referred to as the "Golden Dawn". The First Order taught esoteric philosophy based on the and personal development through study and awareness of the four classical elements as well as the basics of astrologytarot divinationand geomancy. The Third Order was that of the " ", who were said to be highly skilled; they supposedly directed the activities of the lower two orders by spirit communication with the Chiefs of the Second Order. The foundational documents of the original Order of the Golden Dawn, known as the Cipher Manuscriptsare written in English using the Trithemius cipher. The manuscripts give the specific outlines of the Grade Rituals of the Order and prescribe a curriculum of graduated teachings that encompass the Hermetic Qabalahastrologyoccult tarotgeomancyand alchemy. According to the records of the Order, the manuscripts passed from Kenneth R. Mackenziea Masonic scholar, to the Rev. Woodfordwhom British occult writer Francis King describes as the fourth founder [5] although Woodford died shortly after the Order was founded. Westcott asked for Mathers' help to turn the manuscripts into a coherent system for lodge work. Mathers in turn asked fellow Freemason William Robert Woodman to assist the two, and he accepted. In OctoberWestcott claimed to have written to a German countess and and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order Rosicrucian named Anna Sprengelwhose address was said to have been found in the decoded Cipher Manuscripts. According to Westcott, Sprengel claimed the ability to contact certain supernatural The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings, known as the Secret Chiefsthat were considered the authorities over any magical order or esoteric organization. And Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order purportedly received a reply from Sprengel granting permission to establish a Golden Dawn temple and conferring honorary grades of Adeptus Exemptus on Westcott, Mathers, and Woodman. The temple was to consist of the five grades outlined in the manuscripts. Inthe Isis-Urania Temple was founded in . The Order was more of a philosophical and metaphysical teaching Rites in its early years. Other than certain rituals and meditations found in the Cipher manuscripts and developed further, [11] "magical practices" were generally not taught at the first temple. A "Second Order" or "Inner Order" was established The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings became active in The Second Order consisted of members known as "adepts", who had completed the entire course of study for the First Order. Eventually, the Osiris temple in Weston-super-Marethe Horus temple in Bradford both inand the Amen-Ra temple in Edinburgh were founded. In Mathers founded the Ahathoor temple in . InWestcott's alleged correspondence with Anna Sprengel suddenly ceased. He claimed to have received word from Germany that she was dead and that her companions did not approve of the founding of the Order and no further contact was to be made. Subsequently, he supplied rituals for the Second Order. Some followers of the Golden Dawn tradition believe that the Secret Chiefs were not human or supernatural beings, but rather symbolic representations of actual or legendary sources of spiritual esotericism. The term came to stand for a great leader or teacher of a spiritual path or practice that found its way into Rites teachings of the Order. By the mids, the Golden Dawn was well established in Great Britain, with over one hundred members from every class of Victorian society. In orWestcott broke all ties to the Golden Dawn, leaving Mathers in control. It has been speculated that his departure was due to his having lost a number of occult-related papers in a hansom cab. Apparently, when the papers were found, Westcott's connection to the Golden Dawn was discovered and The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings to the attention of his employers. He may have been told to either resign from the Order or to give up his occupation as coroner. Henry B. Mathers was the only active founding member after Westcott's departure. Due to personality clashes with other members and frequent absences from the center of Lodge activity in Great Britain, however, challenges to Mathers's authority as leader developed among the members of the Second Order. Toward the end ofthe Adepts of the Isis-Urania and Amen-Ra temples had become dissatisfied with Mathers' leadership, as well as his growing friendship with . They had also become anxious to make contact with the Secret Chiefs and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order, instead of relying on Mathers as an intermediary. Crowley was refused initiation into the Adeptus Minor grade by the London officials. Mathers overrode their decision and quickly initiated him at Rites Ahathoor temple in Paris on January 16, To the London Adepts, this was the final straw. Farr, already of the opinion that the London temple should be closed, wrote to Mathers expressing her wish to resign as his representative, although she was willing to carry on until a successor was found. On March 3, a committee of seven Adepts was elected in London, and requested a full investigation of the Rites. Mathers sent an immediate reply, declining to provide proof, refusing to acknowledge the London and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order, and dismissing Farr as his representative on March InW. Yeats privately published a pamphlet titled Is the Order of R. Bullock, M. Blackden and J. After a short time, Bullock resigned, and Dr. Robert Felkin took his place. InA. Once Mathers realised that reconciliation was impossible, he made Rites to reestablish himself in London. The Bradford and Weston-super- Mare temples remained loyal to him, but their numbers were few. Brodie-Innes continued leading the Amen-Ra temple, deciding that the revolt was unjustified. ByMathers and Brodie-Innes were in complete accord. Most temples of the and closed or went into abeyance by the end of the s, with the exceptions of two Stella Matutina temples: Hermes Temple in Bristolwhich operated sporadically untiland the Smaragdum Thallasses Temple commonly referred to as in Havelock NorthNew Zealandwhich operated regularly until and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order closure in Much of the hierarchical structure for the Golden Dawn came from the Societas Rosicruciana in Angliawhich was itself derived from the Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross. The paired numbers attached to the Grades relate to positions on the Tree of Life. In the other pairs, the first numeral is the number of steps up from the bottom Malkuthand the second numeral is the number of steps down from the top Kether. The Aspirant to a Grade received instruction on the metaphysical meaning of each of these Elements and had to pass a written examination and demonstrate certain skills to receive admission to that Grade. While no temples in the original chartered lineage of the Golden Dawn survived past the s, [34] [35] several organizations have since revived its teachings and rituals.
