Happy new year to you all.😊
I would just like to thank all the people who have been messaging us via our website: I thought I would take this opportunity to speak briefly about how to join the GD.
The Golden Dawn is an invitation only body for men and / or women. We only invite people whom we have met in person, which is why we occasionally organise public or semi-public GD-related events.
That being said, however, we always welcome genuine enquiries from people about membership. Ideally we would like to hear from you if
- You have an interest in the Western Mystery Tradition in general, e.g. Hermeticism, the Qabalah, Astrology, Tarot, Alchemy, Ceremonial magick, etc;
- You have an interest in the history and tradition of the Golden Dawn in particular;
- You live either in London, or within easy reach of London – whether that be by road, rail, or even air;*
- You are able to attend our meetings regularly;
- You have enough space / privacy to practice the teachings of the Golden Dawn at home;
- You have enough time to practice the teachings of the Golden Dawn; and
- You do not belong to any other Golden Dawn order.
*If you are not able to get to London, we may be able to put you in touch with Golden Dawn temples elsewhere in the world.
If you are new to the subject of the Golden Dawn, then I highly recommend the following books, all by Chic & Tabatha Cicero. Not only do they describe the Golden Dawn itself, but you may find further relevant titles through looking through their bibliographies:
