Original Teachings of the Golden Dawn, Volume Two W Wynn Westcott

The Golden Dawn flourished in Great Britain and France from 1887 to 1900. It appears to have been an outgrowth of the German order, Orden des Gold-und Rosenkreuz. In the Golden Dawn one studied Qabalah, astrology, tarot divination, geomancy, scrying, astral travel, Ancient Egyptian religion, Theurgy, Freemasonry, Alchemy, Enochian magic, Christian mysticism, etc. It flourished until the London Adepts rebelled against their leader. This act of betrayal destroyed the Order, fragments of which carried on under other names. This volume contains Instructions N-Z.3, Flying Rolls 1-36, the Phoenix Wand Consecration Ritual, the Ceremony of the Equinox, and the Table of the Titles of the Grades.
