Regardie Cult Manifesto
In breaking news today, SRIA/OR+C (reconstructionist) Golden Dawn orders across the Internet published a "Regardie Cult Manifesto," listing the various Golden Dawn groups which together form a political and religious cult built around the person of Israel Regardie.
Astonishingly, these groups today unwittingly outed their intimate relationship as "de facto" trademark lisencees of the other party that the Alpha Omega has a trademark settlement agreement with, the leaders of which are also SRIA leaders and founders and Grand Officers of the anti-Pagan and anti-Semitic "Order of the Rose and Cross," the de facto "Third Order" of the Regardie Golden Dawn Cult. The only other signatories of the Manifesto were Llewellyn authors and their wives who may have been mislead about the way what they were signing was going to be misprepresented.
This is quite surprising, since these groups and individuals have pretended to have no relationship with the other party of the trademark settlement agreement, in order to defame the AO in an attempt to violate the non-disparagement clause of that agreement, attempting to libel the Alpha Omega with impunity by using prohibited "back doors."
This proves beyond the shadow of any doubt the ongoing manipulation of the Golden Dawn community by these parties and their agents, who have now been outed behind the Witch Hunt against the Alpha Omega for two entire decades!
Today's Regardie Cult Manifesto, was published simutaneously on the same host of blogs and Yahoo fora that have been used over and over to attack the Alpha Omega with literally thousands of misrepresentations, ad hominum attacks, and other libelous statements for two entire decades.
Interestingly, both SRIA/OR+C defamation agent Peregrin Wildoak and anti-Pagan OR+C founder and Grand Officer, Nick Farrell, each today misrepresented the Regardie Cult Manifesto, as follows:
Peregrin Wildoak wrote:"The mass celebration also shows the depth and collegiate spirit of the Golden Dawn community. The folk listed below are simply a small representation of the community, showing a diverse range of interests, backgrounds and Orders."
Actually, the Regardie Cult Manifesto shows only the reconstrtuctionist faction of the Golden Dawn community and inextricably links to said party - all those who have feigned independence in their constant misrepresentation and defamation attacks on the Alpha Omega.
Nick Farrell, wrote:"IF YOU HEAR THAT THERE ARE FLAME WARS BETWEEN MEMBERS OF THE GOLDEN DAWN, YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT THIS LIST. THEN YOU WOULD REALISE THAT HOW MANY OF THE MODERN GOLDEN DAWN ORDERS ARE WORKING TOGETHER AND ARE FRIENDLY." ACTUALLY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NON-GD AUTHORS AND THEIR WIVES, THE REGARDIE CULT MANIFESTO IS SIGNED BY ALL ONE GROUP: THE OTHER PARTY OF THE TRADEMARK AGREEMENT and their "de facto" licensees who have feigned "independence" in attacking our order, but have been now been conclusively linked together in the Regardie Cult Manifesto.
This is a great breakthrough in ending the Golden Dawn Witch Hunt against the Alpha Omega as it LEGALLY proves who has been behind the libel and defamation all along, in clear violation of signed agreements as well as of applicable laws.
The Dark hand of the racist SRIA, and the anti-Pagan and anti-Semitic OR+C, together with the other party of the settlement agreement, have now all been conclusively linked - not only to all of the public blogs and fora attacking the Alpha Omega continuously now for two decades, but - as pointed out by GH Frater SR above - also to the ANONYMOUS blogs that have attacked our order for 20 years with the most vile defamatoin imaginable. Moreover, in addition to their defamatory propaganda, the hypocrisy of these parties feigning to "condemn flame war" has been fully exposed as well.
Finally, why have Nick Farrell, and leaders of the other party STILL not spoken out to explain why they are founders and Grand Officers of the anti-Pagan, anti-Semitic, segregationist Order of the Rose and Cross?
Despite an avalanche of red herrings, the silence is deafening!
II. TRUTH! IS THERE AN "ISRAEL REGARDIE" GOLDEN DAWN LINEAGE?
The publications of Israel Regardie have engendered a host of modern, American groups on the Internet calling themselves "Golden Dawn," but having no connection to the original Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, founded in Europe in 1888. These groups have created a Golden Dawn political and religious cult of personality centered around the person of Israel Regardie.
The teachings of these Regardie-based groups derive almost without fail, entirely from the Golden Dawn material published by Israel Regardie, which dead-ends partially through the Adeptus Minor (5=6) level. In a desperate move to give themselves an air of legitimacy, certain Regardie-based groups have deliberately created a myth of a "Regardie Golden Dawn lineage." Such a notion, however, is highly problematic.
Israel Regardie knew that he had no authority to initiate or grant a charter to anyone and honestly admitted this on numerous occasions, as for example in the attached letter. To begin with, Regardie was never even initiated in the Golden Dawn but rather only in the schismatic Stella Matutina, founded by former Golden Dawn Adept turned rogue, R.W. Felkin. Moreover, Regardie was never granted dispensation to initiate anyone by the G.H. Chiefs of the Stella Matutina and certainly had no authority to grant any sort of charter or even to consecrate a Vault of the Adepti.
Fully aware of these facts, and although he had no authority or lineage to do so, Israel Regardie nonetheless did consecrate a Vault of the Adepti in 1982 in order to initiate his student, Cris Monnastre, into the Adeptus Minor (5=6) grade. The highly misleading Manifesto on reconstructionist blogs and fora today was celebrating the anniversary of this event.
Regardie's publications, together provided fertile soil for a myth of a "Regardie Golden Dawn lineage" to be deliberately cultivated by certain Regardie-based groups under the control of the "Christians only" SRIA and OR+C following Regardie's death. It should be noted that, in his life, Regardie only had four studenats. These were Cris Monnastre, William Kennedy, Larry Epperson, and Alan Miller (Christopher Hyatt). Regardie never endorsed any "Regardie-based" Golden Dawn group or order, although this imprimatur has been putatively and groundlessly claimed by a variety of organizations following his death, including those listed on the "Regardie Cult Manifesto" published today.
One could potentially argue with some legitimacy that Israel Regardie has become the progenitor of his own occult school with its own lineage deriving exclusively from Israel Regardie, as is the case with numerous lineages deriving from teachers in Zen and Tibetan Buddhism in the East. In this limited sense, the Regardie-based groups could perhaps honestly claim a "Regardie lineage." Dishonesty enters and public confusion arises, however, when Regardie-based groups deliberately attempt to conflate such a "Regardie lineage" with a "Golden Dawn" lineage, which by his own clear admission, was never Regardie's to bestow. Here are Israel Regardie's own words in this regard:
"You have my blessing - - which is all I can give you. I have no authority, you must remember, I am simply the editor of the Golden Dawn material. Beyond that, I am nothing whatsoever." - Israel RegardieHere is a facsimile of the entire letter from Israel Regardie setting the record straight himself - that he had no Golden Dawn lineage or authority whatsoever to transmit to anyone. Those who are building a political and religious cult of personality around Regardie have no real basis for this, according to Regardie's own words!
