Awaken the Magick Within!

Are you drawn to Magick?

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn® (EU reg. 000063925) has been making Magicians since 1888. With our help, thousands of people have unveiled their Magickal potential - and we can help unchain the Magick in YOU.

Awaken the magick within. Access the tools of:

• empowerment
• manifestation 
• expansion of consciousness
• discovery and mastery of Self.

Here is what new Magicians say about our Order of the Alpha Omega curriculum:

"Since beginning of the new Order of the Alpha Omega curriculum, I've noticed a marked difference in my approach to common problems, increased patience, and a serious boost to my intuitive abilities." 

- Soror Liberte, Arkansas

"You get to the practice of magick within the very first few weeks, and following it to the letter you will start achieving results almost instantly." 

- Frater Skabowta, Malta

"Since I'm not close to a temple my tutor has been just as important as the new lessons." 

- Frater TGISSEPR, Texas 

"Even though reviewing a ritual I have used for years, I am with the lessons reexamining my approach and going over things i never payed attention to. This course is as useful for a new magician or someone who was self taught."

- Frater Reflect, Florida 

The Order of the Alpha Omega was founded in 1906 by the great mages, Moina and S.L. MacGregor Mathers, as legitimate heirs of the original European Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (1888). Led today by Leslie and David McQuade Griffin, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn has grown into a world class academy of Magick and international Golden Dawn fraternity.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, with our Order of the Alpha Omega curriculum, brings you today the best of ancient Magick with 21st Century training methods.

Carried to Europe with the Greek and Roman empires, Hermetic Magick arose in Egypt and comes to YOU across Centuries - passed down for Millennia from Hermetic Master to Disciple in an unbroken chain of Adepts.

Our Alpha Omega curriculum gives you all the skills you need to awaken the Magick slumbering within YOU!

You will master energy work, Magickal weapons and psychic defense, astrology, tarot, talismans, geomancy, ancient alphabets, alchemy and the Philosopher's Stone.

Our AΩ curriculum offers bite-sized lessons that ensure you grasp the concepts before moving on by: 

1. Requiring descriptive summaries of your work, 
2. Having to request each new lesson only when you feel you are ready to move on, and
3. Discussions with your tutor validating you have actually learned the material before receiving the next lesson.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn also provides traditional, physical initiation in our international network of fully licensed and chartered Temples.

We are still beta testing our new Order of the Alpha Omega curriculum, but we currently have a few openings for the right applicants.

Here is more of what Magicians say about our new Order of the Alpha Omega® curriculum:

"The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn has earned a great deal of respect from me as a professional business coach and student of spiritual technology and mental science. I'm always looking for ways to improve my own life so that I can offer more effective methods of consulting and coaching for my clients. I'm very pleased with the results this curriculum has wrought in my life. Since beginning the new curriculum, I've noticed a marked difference in my approach to common problems, increased patience, and a serious boost to my intuitive abilities. There's also been improvements in my familial relationships and personal peace through study and practice of the technology presented in the curriculum. My approach to life is more deliberate, and the results have become increasingly better as I critically examine scenarios using AO methods. 5 stars! Highly recommend for anyone seeking a truly effective magickal education."

- Soror Liberte (Desiree Finkbeiner), Arkansas 

"There are two fabulous things about the new curriculum, as I have experienced it so far:

1.  The emphasis on practical work and 

2.  The manageable size of each lesson.

The old 0=0 was a huge burden of memorization and very discouraging to anyone who didn't come with a significant background in esoteric study.  The new one is engineered for beginners; this is a good thing."

- Soror ISF, Carbondale, Illinois 

"Being a student of esoteric studies, I had started out on a solitary path, studying from books and all other possible sources. I joined the HOGD a few years ago, in the hope that some light would be shed on my studies and that I would advance further. The published Golden Dawn material was difficult to grasp and even though I remained within the study field, I couldn’t advance any further.

From there I was blessed enough to be one of the chosen to undergo the new curriculum of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the outer order of the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha Omega. The new Alpha Omega curriculum is a blessing for any serious student of occult studies. You get to the practice of magick within the very first few weeks, and following it to the letter you will start achieving results almost instantly. More than anything, I have found a new family member within the group, my tutor, who is my shining light in darkness. With the new curriculum and such blessed members teaching it to the new Neophytes, the journey is no longer a struggle, as you will always feel someone else’s hand holding yours, guiding you through the path. I can never ask for anything better regarding my studies."

- Frater Skabowta, Malta  

"I like the step by step lesson format much more than the online curriculum. The lesson emphasis is much clearer on what the initiate is intended to learn and gain knowledge of before progressing to the next stage.  The self-paced approach is also more appealing to me and lets me know exactly where I'm at in my training and development.  Combined with a tutor I can ask questions from, I feel like I'm really learning and part of a brotherhood.  Since I'm not close to a temple my tutor has been just as important as the new lessons. My thanks, appreciation, and blessings go out to all those involved in making this available for my development."

In loving memory of our A.O. Elders ...
Moina and S.L. MacGregor Mathers!

The Rites of Isis were given to Moina and S.L. MacGregor Mathers by the Continental European Secret Chiefs of the Golden Dawn's Third Orde, Hermetic tradition guardians of the ancient Egyptian initiatic mysteries. The Rites of Isis were first performed as public ritual by the Mathers in Paris. 

Today, though the kind of these ancient Egyptian rites by the Secret Chiefs, the Alpha Omega leads the way again and presents the revival of The Rites of Isis and world premiere of The Rites of Nephthys during the first lunation following the Vernal Equinox, 2013. These ancient Egyptian Full Moon and New Moon Rites henceforth serve as a bridge between the Alpha Omega and the greater Pagan community.

These Rites arise from the Egyptian initiatic school as preserved occulted for centuries by Pythagorean and Hermetic orders, having arrived in Europe following the Greek and Roman conquests of Egypt.

Don't miss the world premiere of The Rites of Nephthys at the International Conclave of Golden Dawn Magicians, which is open to ALL Golden Dawn Initiates of ALL Golden Dawn orders, as well as Self-Initiates and Solitary practitioners of the Golden Dawn system of Magic.

Register NOW for the Conclave.

The Rites of Isis and The Rites of Nephthys are open to the general public. Welcome!

Alpha et Omega Ascending: On the Wings of Ma'at!

by David Griffin

HOGD, AO, 33

Regular readers will recall how,  in 2002, I was contacted for the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha et Omega by Frater Lux E Tenebris, a representative of the millennia old, Continental European Hermetic and Rosicrucian Internal College that S.L. MacGregor Mathers called the "Secret Chiefs of the Third Order." 

History will prove what a great boon this event in reality has been for the Golden Dawn community. Already in 2002, the Secret Chiefs transmitted the A.O. the initiation rituals and initially teachings intended since 1888 for the Third Order of the Golden Dawn.

The Secret Chiefs this year opened the flood gates wide, transmitting vast amounts of additional Hermetic and Rosicrucian magical teachings and systems to the Alpha Omega, to replace the material profaned through publication by misguided Golden Dawn Adepts.

The Third Order chose the Alpha et Omega as a a gesture of recognition of the magical genius and greatness of the founder of our order, S.L. Macgregor Mathers. Although the Secret Chiefs have not always been pleased with Mathers, it was he who, after all, was the primary contact with Them for the Golden Dawn since the beginning.

Alpha Omega Founder, S.L. MacGregor Mathers

Having been chosen by the Secret Chiefs to serve as Mathers' successor as the primary contact with Them for the Golden Dawn is a great honor, but it has also been a terrible burden. Such a heavy cross must be borne, however, by all so chosen for such a role.

As Archon Basileus of the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha et Omega, I have been attacked nearly non-stop for the entire decade since the Secret Chiefs sent Frater Lux E Tenebris to meet with me in Paris. The A.O. as well has been sued, misrepresented, and defamed constantly on the Internet. Our sacred initiation rituals and early documents have been published. I have been personally called a lier and a fraud. My predecessor, S.L. MacGregor Mathers, has been called a madman. Not even Secret Chiefs have escaped the disparagement of misguided individuals. They themselves have been branded as mere figments of Mathers' imagination.

Clearly there are Counter-Initiatic Forces at play, attempting to hinder the Alpha et Omega from playing its destined role to aid mankind in its spiritual development in the new Millennium.

Sadly, leaders of several Golden Dawn orders have rejected the new infusion of Spirit bestowed on the Golden Dawn community by the Secret Chiefs. Instead, they have chosen to oppose the Secret Chiefs and ally themselves instead with the unbalanced magical forces seeking to hinder the Alpha et Omega and its its mission.

For years, they have attacked me online, accusing me of lying about the Secret Chiefs and many other things. They have ignored all proof we have offered, and continued relentless attacks against the A.O. They have spat on our offer to share advanced Golden Dawn magic and teachings with Adepts from across the Golden Dawn community. They have even threatened their Adepts with expulsion should they attend our International Conclave of Golden Dawn Adepti March 9-19, 2012 or even should they take part in the advanced magical teachings and practices.

Having consulted at length with the Third Order about the constant distraction and drain on my energy created by these incessant attacks, I have decided to take definitive magical action to restore balance once and for all.

An Invocation of Ma'at

"I invoke you, oh Ma'at! And call out to you to restore Truth, Order, and Righteousness to the Golden Dawn."

"I invoke you, Oh Lady of the Balance in the Hall of Twin Truths."

"I offer my heart up on your scale, oh Ma'at, that should I be found lacking, you may render judgement upon me, so that balance may be restored."

"Yet should my heart be true, and as light as a feather, may you subdue and vanquish the unbalanced forces seeking to prevent the Alpha et Omega from exalting the consciousness of those who seek true enlightenment."

"I invoke you, oh Lady of Righteousness, that Truth, Balance and Order may be restored."

"I invoke you, Oh Lady of the Scales! Oh Goddess hidden at the center of our Temple in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn."

"I invoke you, oh Ma'at, and I bring the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha et Omega under the protection of your Divine wings."

"May Ma'at be restored, our order protected from those who unjustly attack it, and may Ma'at vanquish the Unbalanced Forces."
