Mishkan ha-Echad - Golden Dawn Blog by Frater Yechidah: Nazi Persecution of Esoteric Societies

http://mishkan-ha-echad.blogspot.com/2015/02/nazi-persecution-of-esoteric-societies.html

Monday, 2 February 2015. Nazi Persecution of Esoteric Societies. As we remember the suffering of the Jews, and other minorities, at the hands of the Nazis, let us also consider that members of esoteric societies were also persecuted, and often were seen as a political threat to Hitler. Freemasons were forced to wear an inverted red triangle in concentration camps, marking them as political prisoners. On a list of almost 50 "forbidden organisations," issued in 1936, we see the following:. Therefore, let u...

Mishkan ha-Echad - Golden Dawn Blog by Frater Yechidah: Age and the Occult

http://mishkan-ha-echad.blogspot.com/2015/07/age-and-occult.html

Sunday, 12 July 2015. Age and the Occult. Every so often I encounter some "rules" regarding how old one should be before embracing the occult, or comments that dismiss the role and contribution younger people have made. While some of these have some logic behind them, many of them are based on the presumption that older equals wiser (which, unfortunately, is not always the case). Indeed, Isaac Luria, widely considered the "father" of modern Qabalah, was only around 22 when he began studying the Zohar, an...

Mishkan ha-Echad - Golden Dawn Blog by Frater Yechidah: The Gradations of Adepthood

http://mishkan-ha-echad.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-gradations-of-adept.html

Saturday, 17 August 2013. The Gradations of Adepthood. The word Adept brings a lot to mind, so much so that I believe it necessary to clarify some things regarding Adepts in the Golden Dawn system. Only at 6=5 is an initiate an Adeptus Major and only at 7=4 is he or she an Adeptus Exemptus. Of course, historically the Order collapsed before anything beyond Theoricus Adeptus Minor was created, and both the Stella Matutina and later Alpha et Omega abolished the sub-grades and moved material to higher grade...

Mishkan ha-Echad - Golden Dawn Blog by Frater Yechidah: The Sentinel Beyond 0=0, Part 1

http://mishkan-ha-echad.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-sentinel-beyond-00-part-1.html

Monday, 23 March 2015. The Sentinel Beyond 0=0, Part 1. In the modern Golden Dawn community, it is commonly believed that the Sentinel is not present after the 0=0 (or, in some cases, after the 1=10), but there is a significant body of evidence that shows that this was not the case in the original Order, that, in fact, the Sentinel stood outside the door of the Hall for all grades of the Outer Order. Secondly, the pattern of officers who drop out from the ceremonies already has a major issue, because the...

Mishkan ha-Echad - Golden Dawn Blog by Frater Yechidah: The Four Elemental Implements, Part 2

http://mishkan-ha-echad.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-four-elemental-implements-part-2.html

Thursday, 12 March 2015. The Four Elemental Implements, Part 2. For many, making magical tools is a significant challenge, and for some it is even an obstacle. After all, not everyone has woodworking or metalworking skills, so the Elemental Implements can seem quite daunting. Something that I found interesting when going through Ritual G was the wording for creating each of the implements. There is a subtle distinction between making/forming. Two of them (the Wand and the Pentacle) and adapting. This, to...

Henosis Decanus: Poetry: A Pale Afterthought

http://henosis-decanus.blogspot.com/2010/01/poetry-pale-afterthought.html

Sunday, January 17, 2010. Poetry: A Pale Afterthought. In these mingled moments when the earth grows cold,. When all of us yet living watch catastrophe unfold,. There is a lonely glimmer buried deep beneath the rubble. Of our colder hearts that led us to this trouble. If only we had dared to cast our greedy glances. Upon the poorest nations who do not get our second chances. To live a life worth living on this angered earth,. This little ball of rubble that is our place of birth,. Dean f. wilson. I have ...

Ancient and Honourable Order of the Golden Dawn - Official Blog: November 2015

http://ahogd.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html

Ancient and Honourable Order of the Golden Dawn - Official Blog. Monday, 30 November 2015. Golden Dawn Vault on Clipstone Street. Perhaps the most impressive piece of ceremonial furnishing ever to be used is the Vault of the Adepti employed in the 5=6 Ceremony of the RR et AC, the Second (or Inner) Order of the Golden Dawn. This seven-sided room was modelled after the chamber that Christian Rosenkreutz was said to be buried in, and its use in ritual had a profound effect on any who experienced it. Howe d...

Ancient and Honourable Order of the Golden Dawn - Official Blog: Temple Safety Tips

http://ahogd.blogspot.com/2015/10/temple-safety-tips.html

Ancient and Honourable Order of the Golden Dawn - Official Blog. Thursday, 1 October 2015. It is easy to focus on the ceremony and magic in the Golden Dawn, and forget the more practical considerations of running a Temple, not least of all safety. It can be useful to employ a safety gas lighter (for a gas hob) for lighting incense or candles, as a normal lighter may result in many burned fingers (and is often more frustrating to use in ritual). When removing the hoodwink, be careful about being too force...
