The Dark Hand Revealed
Since the very first episode of the Golden Dawn Saga, you have heard about The Dark Secret in the Golden Dawn. At long last, the moment has come to reveal the identity of who has been hiding behind the scenes, trying to pull the strings of the Golden Dawn.
Let us recall the Golden Dawn is an order with deep Qabalistic roots. Already in the first knowledge lecture, Golden Dawn initiates are presented with the Hebrew alphabet. The entire grade structure is based on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. In fact, Qabalah informs nearly aspect of the structure, rites and magick of the Golden Dawn.
How is it possible then, that there are Golden Dawn orders that openly discriminate against Jews, Muslims, Pagans, and Thelemites, refusing to advance all but Christians to their Inner Order?
How is it possible that there are Chiefs of Golden Dawn orders, who are supposed to be illuminated, who belong to organizations like the SRIA, which openly discriminates against Jews, Muslims, Pagans, and Thelemites? The following image is taken directly from the website of the racist SRIA, which admits only Trinitarian Christians.
"Admission is limited to Master Masons...who accept and believe in the principles of the Trinitarian Christian faith."
SRIA Supreme Magus John Paternoster
Here, on their own website, SRIA proudly proclaims it discriminates against Jews and other minority religions. How is it possible that well placed Golden Dawn leaders belong to such openly racist organisations? How could a Golden Dawn Chief ever even contemplate actually LEADING such an openly racist organisation like SRIA?
One American Golden Chief became prominent in SRIA, introduced to Metropolitan College by R.A. Gilbert. Another Golden Dawn Chief from the same order became Supreme Maga of SRIA in America - and she openly brags about it.
The websites of the two SRIA orders in America are located here and here. According to Wikipedia:
"The SRIA (A for "America") was chartered by the SRIA (in England) in Philadelphia in 1878."
The Two SRIA Orders in America
In my early years in both Freemasonry and the Golden Dawn, I was misled by the notion that Mathers had been a member of SRIA. I therefore naively joined an American SRIA order, the SRICF, sponsored by a Jewish friend of mine. I left SRICF in disgust, however, when my friend was later expelled from SRICF, merely because he is Jewish! The racism rampant in SRIA and SRICF is abhorrent.
SRICF Grand Magus William Koon II
Last year, I revealed here on the Golden Dawn Blog how SRICF Supreme Magus Koons announced at California College in August, 2010, how SRIA had proclaimed one Golden Dawn order the "official Golden Dawn." This is the order led by the Supreme Maga of SRIA in America together with her husband, also a high ranking SRIA member. Let there be no doubt about it. The Golden Dawn is not a racist organisation and anyone who participates in the discriminatory philosophies of SRIA has no business leading a Golden Dawn order.
I have in recent years years discovered that SRIA has infiltrated the boards of directors of numerous Golden Dawn orders. Every time one such infiltrator, T.F., is discovered on corporate records, he claims he once belonged to the order, but has since resigned. Interestingly, he used the same cover story regarding his involvement in the SRIA and in the reconstructed Fellowship of the Rosy Cross of A.E. Waite within the Secret College of the SRIA.
Let he who has an ear, hear the words of the Philosophers in the books of Moab:5 and Moab:6 - "I am protected with the Shin of divine fire in the house of the Lord."
R.A. Gilbert, another high ranking SRIA member, has trafficked in Golden Dawn documents for decades, on numerous occasions providing documents later profaned through publication.
T.F. of SRIA, on the other hand, is personally responsible for the recent profanation in America of the Alpha Omega's 6=5 Adeptus Major (6=5) ritual, published by the Grand Maga of SRIA in America. To inflict maximum damage to the Alpha Omega, T.F. leaked only the fourth point of this ritual, thus enabling Nick Farrell to falsely claim Mathers had eliminated all magic from the order and had taken the Alpha Omega in a purely Masonic direction.
The AO was protected from these attacks by the Secret Chiefs of the Golden Dawn's Third Order, who assisted me to reform the AO's initiation rituals before the previous versions could be published. The Secret Chiefs also gave the Alpha Omega additional magic for our Second Order, to replace other AO materials profaned by Farrell as well.
But why exactly does SRIA hate the Alpha Omega so much?
To begin with as Imperator of the AO, I am Pagan, and SRIA can tolerate enither Pagans nor Jews in their midst. Moreover, we admit and advance initiates in the Alpha Omega of both sexes on an equal basis. Thirdly, we do not discriminate due to religion, race, or sexual or political orientation.
Finally, the Alpha Omega foiled SRIA's secret grand design of many years, to sieze control the Golden Dawn using the Golden Dawn trademark, held and licensed by the Supreme Maga of SRIA in America.
The Alpha Omega, however, opposed this plan, and ultimately prevailed in court, forcing the other party to settle with us in a way that gave us the right to license other Golden Dawn orders on an equal basis with them.
This is why I have an historic announcement to make here today.
To begin with, I urge my fellow Chiefs in all Golden Dawn orders to thoroughly investigate if leadership of your order has been infiltrated by SRIA members, or if any trademark license you hold could ever be used by SRIA to try to manipulate your order.
Here is the historical announement:
As Imperator of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Archon Basileus of the Rosicrucian Order of AO, I pledge today to grant an unconditional trademark license to any Golden Dawn order seeking to avoid control by the SRIA. The Alpha Omega pledges to protect freedom and independence in the Golden Dawn community. As Imperator of the HOGD and Archon Basileus of the AO, I promise there will always be a free and independent Golden Dawn!
Today is by no means the first time that SRIA has tried to sieze control the Golden Dawn. Already at the establishment of Isis-Urania Temple No. 3, the SRIA was already attempting to steal the Rosicrucian lineage of the Golden Dawn. The reliability of the SRIA itself possessing any sort of legitimate Rosicrucian affiliation has been seriously compromised by two false stories about its origins historically propagated by the society.
According to the first story: "An 18th century Italian Ambassador came to England who possessed certain Rosicrucian secrets, the authority to confer grades and to pass on to disciples that authority. Among the last of those disciples was Grand Secretary, W.H. White. White initiated R.W. Little into the secrets of the fraternity and gave him the authority to recruit others. Little later found some Rosicrucian papers in the cellar of Freemasons' Hall which became the ritual of SRIA."
A version of this story was deliberately propagated by the society with the knowledge of the High Council, when W. Wynn Wescott published it in "The Historical Notes of the SRIA." The only proof of this story cited by Wescott was the first page of a letter written by Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of England, T.F. Ravenshaw. This story was later proven to be false and every shred of evidence refuted in a paper by Freemasonic researcher Bruce Wilson in 1947. The aforementioned letter had been published by Wescott in incomplete form, for example. Bruce Wilson found and published the entire letter, the second page of which clearly demonstrated that it had nothing whatsoever to do with the SRIA, but rather with the Red Cross of Constantine.
The second SRIA story concerned Kenneth MacKenzie (1833-1866) and was first circulated after his death in 1892. The story alleged that: "MacKenzie had early in his life been the tutor of Count Apponyi in Austria, where he was initiated into the Gold und Rosenkreutz Order (FA+RC) and given the IX degree. He was further given the authority to establish a Rosicrucian society in England, which he then communicated to Little."
MacKenzie was listed as a Past Magus of the SRIA on a leaflet stating the aims of the society in 1892, signed by then Secretary General W.J. Ferguson. The attempt to posthumously frame MacKenzie as the founder of the SRIA, and thus claim for the SRIA an affiliation deriving from the Fraternitas Aureae et Rosae Crucis in Germany, reached new depths of depravity when even the original Society register was altered.
MacKenzie's name originally stood as number 114. This was altered to 0. This story was also refuted and the relevant forgeries exposed by Bruce Wilson. Wilson also explained how the fiction of MacKenzie as the founder of SIRA was quickly dropped, but survived in a modified form wherein MacKenzie was said to have unofficially helped Little in founding the order in 1865.
In his 1947 paper, "The Origin of our Rosicrucian Society," SRIA Researcher Bruce Wilson revealed an astonishing discovery. It turns out that Kenneth MacKenzie had indeed been initiated into a Rosicrucian society and had received a Rosicrucian warrant from Count Apponyi. Moreover, MacKenzie did actually use this warrant to found a Rosicrucian organization in England, but it was not the SRIA! The warranted organization was none other than the first phase of the Golden Dawn, as a branch of a Continental society called the Brothers of Light.
SRIA knew that Kenneth MacKenzie had a legitimate Rosicrucian lineage, having been initiated in Austria by Count Apponyi, a representative of the Continental European Hermetic and Rosicrucian Order Mathers called the "Secret Chiefs of the Third Order." This Rosicrucian lineage was never meant for SRIA though. It was meant all along for the Golden Dawn, as were the Cypher Manuscripts.
The truth of the matter is that SRIA tried to steal the Rosicrucian lineage of the Golden Dawn from the beginning, and they have still not given up trying to control the Golden Dawn using its trademark even today.
As a Pagan, I am appalled that fanatical Christians are still trying to deprive Pagans, Jews, and Muslims of our rightful initiatic heritage. As an initiate of a Pagan clan persecuted nearly into extinction in Italy, I admit I can not be fully objective of on this issue. We in the Golden Dawn are told by SRIA minions that lineage does not matter and we Pagans have been told the same by Christians about our initiatic heritage and our roots in antiquity.
There is no Golden Dawn order today SRIA racists hate more than the Alpha Omega, because the AO has consistently blocked their plans to control the Golden Dawn.
Unlike minions of SRIA racists, the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha et Omega will always admit and advance initiates solely based on merit, regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual or political preference.
Today, the Alpha Omega takes a stand for the right of Jews, Muslims, and Pagans, as well as Christians, to receive traditional Golden Dawn initiation without interference from religious bigots.
The SRIA may continue to try to control the Golden Dawn...
But we, the Adepts of the Alpha et Omega will always be here waiting for you, vigilant, observing you, shoulder to shoulder in an impenetrable barrier against the darkenss...
In a place where evil may not pass, and shadows flee away!
And remember:
