The decision to publish the Inner Order rituals of the 6=5 and 7=4 did not come lightly for either of us, but Regardie and I both thought that these were better out in the open for all to use. Both of our feelings were adequately summed up in Regardie's book What You Should Know About the Golden Dawn (Falcon Press), in which he wrote: Obligations to personal allegiance, whether tacit or avowed, is the ideal method of enhancing the personal reputation of those who for many years have sat resolutely and persistently upon the pastas of the hidden knowledge. If by any chance the hidden knowledge were removed from their custody, their power would be gone. For in most cases their dominion does not consist in the gravitational attraction of spiritual attainment or even ordinary erudition. Their power is vested solely in the one fact, that they happen to be in possession of the private documents for distribution to those to whom they personally wish to bestow a favour as a mark of their esteem. Regardie also hated to see the Golden Dawn system abused. He thought that the publication of the 6=5 and 7=4 Grade Rituals, in their original fcem, might minimize that abuse by those who would change the rituals at a later date. It is hoped that publication of these Grade Rituals will free others who wish to explore the grades above the 5=6 of the Stella Matutina in the Outer. In so doing, I hope to break the shackles of some temples that claim legitimate descent from the Golden Dawn and the Stella Matutina. They use these grades, whether their claims be legitimate or not, as a source of secrecy to protect what Regardie has called the "hidden knowledge." With these rituals and the formulation of the Golden Dawn Foundation, which has a legitimate and chartered temple, we can now bring much additional teaching of the Order out into the Light. What is published in this volume is by no means the last of the Golden Dawn material Papers and manuscripts are currently being prepared for other volumes which will contain many of the past Order teachings as well as the later ones. Enclosed with the Order Rituals are a number of Flying Rolls lectures of the old Golden Dawn (as well as later ones) that I unearthed from the New Zealand Order. These lectures may shed new light on many of the more obscure aspects of G.D. teachings. It was Regardie's wish (and my own) that the Golden Dawn be allowed to spread out and not be restricted. Publication of previously unpublished material is a start in that direction. I hope that this publication will help those temples struggling for higher knowledge and put a bomb under other temples which have this material and have not yet released it due to their own brand of secret elitism. What is needed in the Golden Dawn today is openness and honesty. That can be achieved in part through publication, as the impact of Israel Regardie's work can attest. As Dion Fortune said, "There is no legitimate reason that I have ever been able to see for keeping things secret. If they have any value, there can be no justification for withholding them from the While I do believe in apostolic succession of the grades of the R.R. et A.C., I also realise that Temple Chiefs sitting smugly on documents to which everyone could have access, does little more than exalt their own egoes. The publication of these Grade Rituals is my own personal contribution in bringing these additional teachings of the R.R. et A.C. out in the open. My regret is that Regardie is not alive to see this book in print. There are still members today of the old Bristol Temple in England, who meet often, according to a former chief of Whare Ra to whom I recently spoke. I openly ask these members, some of whom have the 6=5 and 7=4 Grades, to help other temples get started in much the same way as Jack Taylor did for our Thoth Hermes Temple. Though confined to a wheel chair and over eighty years of age, he held age as no real excuse, and did all he could to insure that the Golden Dawn knowledge would not die with him. Over twenty years ago a well known English Occultist once remarked that revelation of the rituals renders them diminished in power. Of course, this is utter nonsense, as any ritual being correctly performed by a competent and developed aspirant, generates powerful energies each time it is so performed. The 6=5 and the 7=4 Rituals of the R.R. et A.C. do generate power. This is what counts, though the burden still rests squarely on the Temple Officers to insure this in practice. In the final analysis, whether or not one has been initiated through aspostolic succession, the student can still work gradually through the rituals, thereby attaining a degree of their desired effect. Those respectors of the G.D. initiates of the early era must be highly commended for their historical contributions to the Order history. Conversely, those authors who have derided the early G.D. initiates and yet still provided valuable historical insight, must of necessity be recognized for their contribution. A case in point is Years Golden Dawn, by George M. Harper, now out of print. Regardie enjoyed his style and contents, which was also presented by Ellic Howe, but in a style and commentary Regardie disliked. Nevertheless, the material present in both expositions sheds light on subjects of importance. In my own case, I hope that some of the historical gleanings concerning Felkin and the New Zealand Order will assist G.D. historians, in that it fits neatly with Howe's section on the Stella Matutina. While I feel I have tidied up some of the facts on the New Zealand Order, there is still much more research to do on the history and fate of the other Temples of the Golden Dawn, Alpha et Omega and Stella Matutina. P.J. Zalewski New Zealand 1986 CHAPTER ONE FELKIN AND THE NEW ZEALAND ORDER For most occult historians, the Golden Dawn ceases to exist in 1900 and the grade of 5=6 was the highest one attained among the Adepti: the exceptions being Mathers, Woodman, and Wescott who were 7=4; and Moira Mathers who reached the rank of 6=5. At that stage, there were subgrades within the Adeptus Minor level of which only two were worked: Zealator Adeptus Minor and Theoricus Adeptus Minor. A third subgrade of Practicus Adeptus Minor was drafted up although it was never implemented within the Golden Dawns Inner Order: the Rosea Rubea et Aurea Crucis. The final subgrade of Philosophus Adeptus Minor was in fact never utilized. In approximately 1898, an American couple by the name of Lockwood, who were members of the small Ahathoor Temple Mathers ran in Paris, were actually advanced to the level of Adeptus Exemptus, or the 7=4 grade. Many considered this grade a nominal one, based on the Mathers relationship with his English temples (though Brodie hums informed Felkin some ten years after that the Lockwoods actually had the rituals and teachings up to the 7=4 level well before 1900). Apparently, what Mathers had done in Ahathoor was to do away with the subgrades of the 5=6 grade and adopt a version of the Theoricus Adeptus Minor and Practicus Adeptus Minor, slightly enlarged and issued to the British temples. These were used as the 6=5 and 7=4 grade teachings (something which Israel Regardie had suspected for a number of years). Clearly, at this point, Mathers wanted to test the effect of the rituals of the 6=5 and 7=4 ceremonies by giving his American students the opportunity to use the practical work of the 5=6 subgrade rituals and ease into the two powerful grade currents. After the break in 1900 the Order split into two groups. The first was still called the Golden Dawn under Mathers (though this name was later changed to the A.O. or Alpha et Omega Temples). The second group was under a triad of Felkin, Brodie Imes, and Percy Bullock had effectually changed the name of their Outer Order to the Morganrote, though by 1903 a split had occurred once more and two further orders were then developed: the Stella Matutina under Felkin and the Holy Order of the Golden Dawn under Waite. During the next ten years Felkin came under increasing pressure to make a connection with the Golden Dawn's mother temple the Licht, Liebe, Und Leben.

    Harry Collison, MA – Kingston University Working Paper __________________________________________________________________________________________ HARRY COLLISON, MA (1868-1945): Soldier, Barrister, Artist, Freemason, Liveryman, Translator and Anthroposophist Sir James Stubbs, when answering a question in 1995 about Harry Collison, whom he had known personally, described him as a dilettante. By this he did not mean someone who took a casual interest in subjects, the modern usage of the term, but someone who enjoys the arts and takes them seriously, its more traditional use. This was certainly true of Collison, who studied art professionally and was an accomplished portraitist and painter of landscapes, but he never had to rely on art for his livelihood. Moreover, he had come to art after periods in the militia and as a barrister and he had once had ambitions of becoming a diplomat. This is his story.1 Collisons in Norfolk, London and South Africa Originally from the area around Tittleshall in Norfolk, where they had evangelical leanings, the Collison family had a pedigree dating back to at least the fourteenth century. They had been merchants in the City of London since the later years of the eighteenth century, latterly as linen drapers. Nicholas Cobb Collison (1758-1841), Harry’s grandfather, appeared as a witness in a case at the Old Bailey in 1800, after the theft of material from his shop at 57 Gracechurch Street. Francis (1795-1876) and John (1790-1863), two of the children of Nicholas and his wife, Elizabeth, née Stoughton (1764-1847), went to the Cape Colony in 1815 and became noted wine producers.2 Francis Collison received the prize for the best brandy at the first Cape of Good Hope Agricultural Society competition in 1833 and, for many years afterwards, Collison was a well- known name in the brandy industry.

  • I SUGGESTIVE SILENCES: SEXUALITY and the AESTHETIC
    i SUGGESTIVE SILENCES: SEXUALITY AND THE AESTHETIC NOVEL A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Ph. D. in English by Meredith L. Collins Examining Committee Members: Dr. Peter Logan, Advisor Temple University Department of English Dr. Priya Joshi Temple University Department of English Dr. Steven Newman Temple University Department of English Dr. Teresa Dolan Temple University Department of Art History Dr. Kate Thomas Bryn Mawr College, Department of English ii ABSTRACT This dissertation addresses how the philosophy, subculture, and sexuality of aestheticism interact with the form of the nineteenth-century novel. One primary result of this exploration is a nuanced delineation of the aesthetic novel in its formal characteristics, its content, and most notably, in the sexually charged silences that both this form and content reveal—silences made audible to invested aesthetic readers through coded doubleness. Through thus defining the aesthetic novel and seeking to articulate the unspoken sexual transgressions that are, as is argued, requisite therein, this project sheds new light both on the partially submerged sexuality of aestheticism as a movement, and on why novels account for so small a portion of the aesthetic movement’s output—topics first raised in part by Linda Dowling, Dennis Denisoff, and Talia Schaffer. By engaging Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), Vernon Lee’s Miss Brown (1884), Walter Pater’s Marius the Epicurean (1885), Robert Hichens' The Green Carnation (1894), John Meade Falkner’s The Lost Stradivarius (1895), and Aubrey Beardsley’s Venus and Tannhäuser (1895), this dissertation demonstrates that, whether politically engaged as affirmation or using sexuality as a way to communicate rejection of middle-class morality and its own fascination with the unusual, aestheticism defines itself by its inclusion of unusual sexual situations.

It was made for men who loved men first.” —W. B. Yeats (L 875) avid Cregan has called Frank McGuinness the first Irish playwright to apply a distinctively queer dramaturgical epistemology in his plays.1 Yet it is less often acknowledged that Yeats’s drama also took signifi- Dcant steps towards creating space for an anti-normative and anti-authoritarian queer dramaturgy, and thus intervened in normative constructs of sexuality and gender, indirectly joining the sexual liberation and women’s emancipation movements of his time. This was predominantly the result of his collaborations with and inspirations from transgressive artists such as Florence Farr, Michio Itō, Sarah Bernhardt, Vaslav Nijinsky, and Loïe Fuller, as well as his manifold transcultural inspirations which defied sexual polarization and hyper-mascu- linity in favor of more illicit forms of eros and a gender-bending body ideal.
