SATANISM & SRIA 1: "Christian" Leaders Obsessed with Magick and the Occult?

SRIA Supreme Magus, John R.Paternoster

Rumors have circulated since 2005 of a "Satanist coup" at the highest levels of leadership of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (S.R.I.A.).

As a Pagan, the entire discussion seems quite superfluous at first glance. Considering, however, that present S.R.I.A. leaders have already co-opted numerous G.D. leaders in our community, effectively bringing entire orders under their dominion, Golden Dawn members of all faiths have reason to be concerned. 

S.R.I.A. leaders teach a segregationist, "Trinitarian Christians only" view of the Rosicrucian tradition and argue even that the Golden Dawn is "Christian" (See Peregrin Wildoak's argument here). The only way to properly evaluate S.R.I.A.'s 2005 "Satanist coup" schism, therefore, is through a Trinitarian Christian lens.

What is certain is that there was a mass exodus of S.R.I.A. members surrounding a controversial change in leadership when dentist, John R. Paternoster, seized power as S.R.I.A.'s Supreme Magus. The Society did their best to keep the affair quiet, including an alleged cover-up at the highest levels of S.R.I.A. Nonetheless, a certain amount of information did eventually surface on the Internet. For example, "Zac" wrote here in 2006:

"The Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia, known in the Masonic world as the SRIA, has been taken over secretly by those adhering to Satanism. 

The Society is presently led by Fra. John R. Paternoster, a dentist from Bishops Stortford in Hertfordshire, who was elected by some of the ruling members of the SRIA in dubious circumstances early in September 2005. But what most members of the Society do not know is that he has been writing regularly for The Oracle – Occult Magazine which is published in London every three months. On the publishers’ website it is claimed to be a serious journal examining the supernatural. 

One of Fra. Paternoster’s first acts on taking up control as Supreme Magus was to appoint another adherent of Satanism, Fra. ‘Mike’ Crowson, to be the Director-General of Studies for the whole Society. He has been advertising his occult practices (based in London) and his connections with fringe groups in The Oracle for some time. He is also the webmaster for the publishers. He claims to be a Christian but refuses to affirm in public any belief in the Trinitarian Christian faith...

...The latest issues of The Oracle are entirely devoted to devil worship, witchcraft, the Black Mass and other similarly obscene topics. They also contain explicit drawings about masturbation and swearing. Fra. Paternoster has written articles for both issues as the ‘Supreme Magus’ of the Society. That is stated quite clearly in print. So the name of the SRIA and therefore of English freemasons generally has been clearly connected with this occult magazine. 

Copies of these magazines were received last month by the Grand Secretaries of the United Grand Lodge of England (in Great Queen Street), The Supreme Council 33° (in Duke Street) and the Grand Lodge of Mark Masons (in St James’ Street). So the leaders of English Freemasonry have known about this Satanic involvement at the top of the SRIA for some time. 

At 2.00 pm on Wednesday 22 February 2006 the General Purposes Committee of the SRIA met in emergency session at the Society’s London headquarters in Hampstead in the presence of Fra. Paternoster and Fra. Crowson. Most of the Committee are appointees of Fra. Paternoster. 

They met to consider several formal complaints against this occult involvement of their leader and his close associate which had been received from other senior Fratres from various parts of the world. Fra. Paternoster, in writing his articles in The Oracle, has been fully supported by the Society’s Deputy Chaplain-General, a non-ordained senior London freemason, Fra. Arthur Craddock, who is also a Past Grand Steward of the United Grand Lodge of England. 

However, what is not generally known is that a few members of the Committee met secretly in ‘The Flask’, a pub just off the Hampstead High Street, before the official start of the scheduled meeting. Later on at the Committee meeting one of these, Fra. Ronald Pike – the Superior of the Order of Essenes and the Chaplain-General of the SRIA – produced a draft hand-written statement setting out the route which they wanted the rest of the Committee to take. So a cover-up had been arranged even before the Committee met formally.

After only about one hour’s discussion and according to the official circulated Minutes, the Committee decided by a vote of only 6 with three abstentions - hardly surprisingly in the circumstances considering who appointed them - ‘that, for the good of the Society, the less said about this the better’ and ‘expressed the view that, in view of the number of resignations that have already taken place, more would cause confusion, particularly among our younger members, which should be avoided at all costs’ – which is just the sort of cover-up which the Church itself has been accused of in the past. 

At the time the Committee had been made aware that the SRIA is known on the internet, for example in Yahoo chat-rooms, as being involved by its ‘Supreme Magus’ with The Oracle – Occult Magazine. Even so they instructed the Secretary-General to circulate their amazingly arrogant decision to all members thereby hoping that this covert intrusion by those adhering to Satanism will be covered up.

But if these leading Fratres know about this appalling infection at the top of the Society, then perhaps others – including ordinary Christian members like yourself should know about it too."

The involvement of S.R.I.A. Supreme Magus, John Paternoster, in the "Oracle Occult Magazine" is easily verified on the Oracle's MySpace page here (The titles of the other articles are quite revealing concerning the above allegations of Satanism).

I already pointed out last week the absurdity of Trinitarian Christian S.R.I.A. leaders and their G.D. puppets arguing that the Golden Dawn is a "Christian" tradition. It should be quite obvious that the Golden Dawn is Non-sectarian, not Christian. The Golden Dawn is a MAGICAL order and Magick has been at all times condemned by Christianity in no uncertain terms.

Unsurprisingly, no S.R.I.A. leader nor any Golden Dawn leader under their dominion has had anything at all to say in defense of their original argument. This is because there is nothing they can say, since there is no rational explanation for Trinitarian Christians to be so obsessed with Magick and Magical orders. To put it simply ...

"Their silence is deafening!"

Instead, as a diversionary tactic, a host of leaders of S.R.I.A. licensed or affiliated Golden Dawn orders, published a barrage of articles (by Donald Michael Kraig, Peregrin Wildoak, Nick Farrell, Aaron Leitch, and Morgan Eckstein), each arguing in favor of using Magick for making money and other material gain.

As a Pagan, I have nothing at all against practical Magick.  In fact, I revealed the keys to unlock the entire Golden Dawn system for practical Magick in Chapter 6 of the Ritual Magick Manual. (As a purely technical matter, I do always make clear that spiritual development proceeds faster if a Magician focuses on Magick purely for energetic evolution rather than for material gain, however).

But what about the Trinitarian Christian, present S.R.I.A. leaders' obsession with Magical Golden Dawn orders?

"According to Trinitarian Christianity, the practice of Witchcraft and Magick are regarded as Sins that need to be repented of, confessed, and forsaken."

Anyone who approaches ANY of the “Christian” denominations and asks if that particular group would allow for ANY form of Magick to be performed as part of an approach to Jesus as God, they would be denied. 

If no Christian denomination (including the Anglican church most S.R.I.A. members belong to) will permit Magick to be practiced within the canon of their teachings, then why are S.R.I.A. leaders so obsessed with controlling MAGICAL Golden Dawn orders?

After all:

• The Christian Bible is filled with injunctions against Magick. For example:
• The struggle between St. Peter and the Magician, Simon Magus.
• Leviticus and Deuteronomy prohibit certain kinds of Magick, specifically divination, seeking omens, mediums who commune with the dead, and spell-casters.
• Exodus 22:18 states: "Do not allow a sorceress to live".
• Galatians includes sorcery in a list of "works of the flesh".
• This ban is repeated in the Didache, written during the mid to late first century.
• Martin Luther shared some of the views about witchcraft that were common in his time. In his Small Catechism Luther taught that Magick was a sin against the second commandment.
• The Rituale Romanum De Sacramento Paenitantiae specifically lists Magick and Astrology as mortal sins, and illucidates the following for grounds for excommunication from the Church: "Who adheres to Magical beliefs such as the Magic of Cartomancy, Astrology, and all esoteric practices or who converts to other faiths such as Masonry or Rosicrucianism.

Evangelical Christian groups, likewise condemn Magick, Numerous Christian groups even go so far as to condemn ANY form of Magick as Satanism. 

What would these Christian groups say about people who try to control esoteric orders that teach Magick or even those who advocate Magick for money and material gain?

Are these not Satanists when viewed through a Trinitarian Christian lens?

As Trinitarian Christians, the efforts by current S.R.I.A. leaders to bring Magical Golden Dawn orders under their dominion through trademark licensing and co-opting G.D. leaders makes no sense at all.

Trinitarian Christians condemn Magick, not practice it or teach it.

On the other hand, if the above rumors are true - and S.R.I.A. leadership was indeed toppled by Satanists as rumored in 2005, then the obsession of today's S.R.I.A. leaders with Magick, the Occult, and the Golden Dawn suddenly all makes perfect sense.

At least one thing is certain - Rank and file members of S.R.I.A. deserve some real answers to tough questions!

The Wescott Tablets & SRIA/McGD Witch War

by David Griffin

For a Free and Independent Golden Dawn ...

Stop the Racist SRIA!

ATTENTION: The documents quoted in this article are 100% genuine. Despite cover-up efforts, this can still be verified in numerous places on the internet, including here, and here. I have recently published evidence linking Golden Dawn leaders to the anti-Semitic "Order of the Rose and Cross" here. Olen Rush, defending the culprits, claims documents in this article are fake - taken from an Illuminati site. Rush now accuses me of racism - merely for outing his involvement with Golden Dawn leaders listed as Grand Officers on the official website of the anti-Semitic "Order of the Rose and Cross," including Rush's own publishers!


In episode 6 of The Golden Dawn Saga, The Dark Hand REVEALED, I exposed how the dark hand of the racist SRIA has for decades been pulling the strings of their McGoldenDawn® marionettes to stir strife in the Golden Dawn community in their quest to completely control and dominate the Golden Dawn. Far from the stodgy little research groups that people believe the SRIA and its offshoots are, these are racists who discriminate against Jews, Pagans, and Muslims, and who have been trying to steal the Golden Dawn nearly from its inception. This all becomes obvious when you look at who in the GD community belongs to the various tentacle orders of SRIA, which reads like a Who's Who of McGoldenDawn reconstructionists. 

But why exactly does SRIA hate the Alpha Omega so much?

To begin with, as Imperator of the AO, I am Pagan, and the bigoted "Trinitarian Christians only" SRIA can tolerate neither Jews, Pagans nor Muslims in their midst. Moreover, unlike SRIA, we in the AO admit and advance initiates of both genders on an equal basis.

In the AO, we certainly do not discriminate against Christians either. In fact, esoteric Christian mysteries are an important aspect of the Golden Dawn. What the SRIA can not stand though, is that we do not discriminate against Jews, Pagans, or Muslims the way they do. This, the Anti-Semitic SRIA hates with a passion.

Racist SRIA Supreme Magus John Paternoster

Moreover, unlike the SRIA and their McGD® franchises, the Alpha Omega does not interfere in the private lives of our members and does not prohibit them from joining whatever other orders or what not they like. We believe that all women and all men are created equal, with an equal possibility of spiritual evolution. We believe, however, that this evolution must be conquered though great discipline in spiritual practice.

Our order therefore, as has always been the case in traditional Initiatic societies, is not democratic, but is structured as a hierarchical meritocracy, wherein each individual is advanced exclusively according to individual merit. Unlike the racist SRIA, the Alpha Omega does not discriminate against any individual on the basis of religion, race, gender, sexual or political preferences.

Finally, the SRIA hates most of all because 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. AO has equal right to license others due to our settlement agreement with the other party. This means that the AO is the only thing preventing SRIA from controlling the Golden Dawn with the GD trademark.

Even McGoldenDawn Chief Nick Farrell publicly admitted that SRIA is a racist organization. Following the SRIA-ORC schism in 2007, McFarrell wrote on alt.magick:

Racist SRIA/ORC Puppet, Nick Farrell

"ORCs policy on admission is considerably wider than the SRIA in that it is open to all races and sexes. The ORC was originally formed by a group of people who felt that SRIA was too conservative." 

- Nick Farrell

Nick Farrell, in fact, defended the Grand Officers of the ORC (Order of the Rose and Cross), a schismatic offshoot of SRIA) on thier website when it first opened, together with the present Supreme Maga of the SRIA (America) her Metropolitan College SRIA husband, and racist SRIA/ORC Frater, R.A. Gilbert as well.

There was a huge scandal on the internet when news broke that all three of these were GRAND OFFICERS of this new, racist and Anti-Semitic "Christians only" order, and all three of their names were immediately "sanitized" from the ORC website (note that the list of officers was merely truncated and the offices removed from the site instead of other persons placed in the above referenced offices). Also removed was racist R.A. Gilbert, who had originally sponsored the husband when he joined Metropolitan College of SRIA. 

Thus you can see that it is not at all certain that the Supreme Maga of SRIA (America) is telling the truth on her website, and that SRIA (America) does not secretly share the racist and bigoted views (and discriminatory practices) of SRIA (Anglia) and quietly discriminate racially and religiously once inside SRIA (America) as do the other SRIA orders her husband belongs to in Canada and England. She was, after all, listed as a GRAND OFFICER on the initial website of the racist ORC, together with her husband who additionally belonged to the racist SRIA (Anglia) and anti-semetic SRIC (Canada).

Moreover, there are indications that ORC is even more fanatically bigoted than SRIA, despite Nick Farrell's trying to whitewash them. Firstly, there is the ORC objection that the SRIA was not "Christian" enough for them. This at least indicates a certain extreme right wing Fundamentalism. More damning, however, is the conclusion of R.A. Gilbert's paper originally listed on the ORC website, entitled "Golden Dawn or Gotterdammerung"

Note that the ORC has attempted to sanitize this article from its website as well, but have been sloppy. Although the .pdf is no longer available on their server, the link to it still remains on the articles page, as follows:

Despite this attempt by the Order of the Rose and Cross to remove evidence of anti-Semitism from their website, Gilbert's full article can still be downloaded from the original version of the ORC website from the Internet Archive here. Using his OR+C order name, Frater I.D.V.A, Anti-Semite R.A. Gilbert wrote:

SRIA/ORC Anti-Semite, R.A. Gilbert

"How can we best preserve the Western Hermetic Tradition for the future? I truly believe that initiatic Orders analogous to the Golden Dawn are still needed and that their role is crucial in preserving our specifically western esoteric spirituality. We must also recognise that the Tradition which represents that spirituality FACES REAL THREATS, both from the growth of RELIGIOUS INDIFFERENCE and from the determined efforts of its SPIRITUAL ENEMIES to capitalise on such indifference, and to undermine the tradition by perverting its ethos and substituting darker and avowedly anti-Christian goals. If we are true to our Rosicrucian principles then we must recognise and strive against those THREATS."     

- R.A. Gilbert

Another Anti-Semetic Tract

talking about "threats" from "spiritual enemies"

with "anti-Christian goals."

It is obvious, that Gilbert is here espousing an Anti-Semetic "Christans only" view of Rosicrucianism. Gilbert makes direct reference to some mysterious "anti-Christian" (read Jewish? Pagan? Muslim?) THREAT. Such paranoid declarations are highly reminiscent of other Anti-Semetic tracts like the infamous "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

It is understandable that Nick Farrell, the SRIA (America) Supreme Maga, and her husband are now desperately trying to distance themselves from the racism and bigotry of SRIA (Anglia) and its offshoots like SRIC in Canada, SRIS in Scotland, and SRICF in America, just like they tried in 2007 to cover up their involvement in in the racist ORC once they were outed as GRAND OFFICERS, since Anti-Semetism is completely incompatable with Golden Dawn Qabalah, and racism is the absolute antithesis of the humanitarian Hermeticism of the Golden Dawn. 

Moreover, due to his defense of the religiously bigoted, "Christian only" ORC, Nick Farrell's recent denial of Christian Fundamentalism sounds empty. Furthermore, in light of the above evidence, SRIA (America)'s claim on their website of racial and religious tolerance sounds like a mere cover story, just like having their Supreme Maga sanitized from the ORC website once she was discovered as a GRAND OFFICER of that bigoted and anti-semetic organisation.

SRIA (America)

The NSDAP German NAZI Party ...

... also used red, white and black colors ...

... together with a cross motif.

The whole hubub about Mathers vs. Wescott and who was the real genius behind the Golden Dawn, also arises from the SRIA Witch Hunt to destroy the Alpha Omega. Since Mathers founded the AO, SRIA and McGD spin doctors are trying to destroy the memory of Mathers with books like the latest political polemic masquerading as "history," written by racist SRIA/ORC apologist, Nick Farrell.

Alpha Omega Founder S.L. MacGregor Mathers

Of course SRIA wants to destroy the memory of Mathers and to promote Wescott as the real genius behind the GD. This is part and parcel of the SRIA/McGoldenDawn® Witch Hunt against the AO.

This goes far to explain the recent publication of the so-called "Wescott" Tablets by the Supreme Maga of the SRIA in America. It is noteworthy that T.F. as will be shown below, confirms that these Tablets were released for publication directly by the SRIA. Unsurprisingly, SRIA racist, R.A. Gilbert has trafficked in Golden Dawn documents like these for decades, and has on more than one occasion provided Golden Dawn documents for profanation by the Supreme Maga of SRIA (America) and her husband. This has all along been intended, of course, to promote the SRIA controlled, McGD reconstructionist faction against traditional Golden Dawn orders like the AO.

This is also the case with the recent profanation of part 4 of the Mathers' rescension of the AO's 6=5 ritual. T.F. of SRIA is personally responsible, in fact, for the profanation of this secret AO ritual, recently published by the Grand Maga of SRIA America. To inflict maximum damage on the Alpha Omega with this attack, T.F. leaked only the fourth point of the 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.

I must admit that I find these tablets, putatively from Wescott, quite fascinating (having seen colour pictures of them I have done some "decoding work" myself), especially when applied to the Sphere of Sensation model. The colour scales fit the traditional Hodos Chamelionis formula. Nonetheless, I feel they fail to add anything of real substance or value to the Golden Dawn MAGICAL system. At the very least, no one has yet demonstrated to my satisfaction how, from a magical point of view, these tablets contribute so greatly to the magical tech of the Golden Dawn, as to justify all the exaggerated hype about them from SRIA and McGD spin doctors.

What is tragic to observe is how these so-called "Wescott" Tablets are being used as a weapon against S.L. MacGregor Mathers, trying to forge the idea that it was Westcott (a Supreme Magus of SRIA) who was the real "genius" behind the magical system of the RR et AC, and not MacGregor Mathers (a student of Lux e Tenebris, ambassador of the Secret Chiefs of the Third Order)

SRIA Supreme Magus W. Wynn Wescott

Wescott was definitely not this alleged genius. Even if Westcott actually was the original creator of these Tablets (which is not at all established, despite the loud wailing of SRIA and McGD spin doctors), he simply used two models that MacGregor Mathers had already presented (as revealed from his Third Order contact L.e.T.), the 'Book of the Concourse of the Forces' and 'Hodos Chamelionis'.

Regarding the dubious SRIA-McGD claim that Wescott created these tablets, SRIA researcher T.F. wrote on Oct 30 2011:

"From the historical perspective a small note of caution. There is actually no evidence at all that Westcott produced them. They are usually termed the' Westcott Tablets' simply because they were found amongst a number of interesting GD items at the SRIA, London (and were rescued from being thrown out by a certain astute person)... We cannot conclude that Mathers (or someone else) had no part in producing these. Moreover, it may be useful to ponder the date when Westcott left the GD and his declaration that he laid no propriety claim to the work of the Second Order, which he acknowledged to be that of Mathers..." 

- T.F.

Westcott's creative input (if he truly was the genius behind said Tablets) was but to fuse the two documents together in a workable and interesting format. The alleged genius of Wescott was, at best, but to extrapolate on portions of the material transmitted through MacGregor Mathers, albeit a good extrapolation. Westcott was a great scholar, we must give him credit for that. But this does not make him, by any stretch of the imagination, the true "genius" of the R.R. et A.C. as claimed by McGD franchises and thier SRIA masters. Westcott himself even claimed in a private letter that the Golden Dawn (i.e. the Outer Order) was "his" while the R.R. et A.C. (the Inner Order) was "MacGregor Mathers".

Touting Wescott while denigrating Mathers is merely a new line of attack designed to create the illusion of the SRIA as the crown (or source) of the Golden Dawn, something that the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha Omega vehemently opposes. This stong and open opposition of ours, this standing up in defence of our order, is frequently mischaracterized by McGD Inquisitors and their SRIA masters as agression from our side. It is not. It is, however, a firm determinaton to cure the Golden Dawn community of the plague of leprosy the McGoldenDawn franchise lobby has infected the GD community with for two decades on behalf of their SRIA puppet masters.

The inappropriate deification of Wescott in books like the recent one on the "Wescott" tablets, combined with the attempted character assassination of Mathers and the AO in the pseudo-historical political tract recently published by Nick Farrell, is just another attempt by SRIA to manipulate and stir strife in the Golden Dawn community. SRIA tried to steal the Golden Dawn's legitimate Rosicruican heritage since the beginning of the order in 1888, as I have previously proven here. SRIA has been using their McGD puppets to attack the AO and me personally on the Internet for nearly two decades now. 

So why is SRIA doing this?

The real reason the McGD puppets and their SRIA masters are so desperate is they have already published all the GD magick they have. They are therefore desperately trying to create the illusion they have more GD material than they really do, by publishing anything at all SRIA can find still laying around collecting dust. That they are reaching the bottom of the barrell is clear from all of the fluff that was published along with the "Wescott" Tablets.

The true motive for the Grand Maga of SRIA (America) to profane the so-called "Wescott" tablets, as well as part 4 of the AO's 6=5 ritual, becomes readily apparent in the conclusion of her book where she writes:

"By now it should be obvious that we have not found an end to the teachings of the traditional Golden Dawn system. I personally do not believe that such an end is anywhere within sight, even within my own lifetime. Wescott's tablets continue to provide us with proof that the Order's system, as originally intended, is more balanced, more advanced, more holistic in its composition than is apparent to those who want to reform it. Like an iceburg with 90% of its mass hidden beneath the water's surface..." 

- SRIA Supreme Maga in America

This, of course, is utter poppycock.

The claim that SRIA is still sitting on 90% of the Golden Dawn's complete magical system is utter malarkey. In reality, the reason why SRIA and their McGD puppets are trying desperately to sell a cheap illusion of "The Great and Mighty Maga of OZ" (just ignore that woman behind the curtain), is because they are magically bankrupt already at this point, with nothing left of any real magical importance to publish. They have painted themselves into a corner, leaving themselves with nothing spiritual remaining sacred and unprofaned. And they are feeling UTTERLY DESPERATE about this.

For Centuries SRIA has tried to steal the Golden Dawn. In recent decades, their puppets even wrote on Wikipedia the Golden Dawn was created by SRIA. In short, SRIA is desperately trying to sell the illusion that SRIA is the Third Order of the Golden Dawn. Well, it looks like the McGoldenDawn have found themselves a racist Third Order substitute, by selling their souls to the racist SRIA. But the SRIA certainly is not the true Third of the Golden Dawn.

The True Face of SRIA

The other reason McGD marionettes and their SRIA puppet masters are so desperate now, is because the original owners of the Golden Dawn have reappeared again - the TRUE Third Order.

And the true Third Order has now proven their legitimacy beyond any doubt, by transmitting the rest of the Second Order magick to the Alpha Omega that Mathers never received because they no longer trusted him following Crowley's profanation of the rest of the GD material. As proof of the truth of this, the AO recently invited representatives of the entire GD community to experience these superior Second Order teachings and magick of the R.R. et A.C. at our Conclave of the Adepti, held in Nevada, March 9-19, 2012. All who attended concur about the validity of the material and the authenticity of the Third Order, including the Adepts from other GD orders than our own.

How can the McGD puppets, or even their SRIA masters, possibly compete with the true Third Order of the Golden Dawn? They simply can not...

...Because they do not have any traditional Golden Dawn magic or teachings for anything above the (5=6) Adeptus Minor level that Crowley and Regardie published, and anyone can buy for $5 in a used books heap.

This is the real reason why the SRIA is trying desperately to sell the LIE that 90% of all Golden Dawn material still remains hidden in their archives.

 I repeat:

THIS IS UTTER BULLSHIT.

And since this lie blew up in their faces, together with their publishing part of our 6=5 ritual, and together with Nick Farrell's attack on the foundations of our order...

The McGD marionettes and the Dark Hand of their SRIA masters have in recent weeks relaunched an all out Witch Hunt of defamation against the AO again, in one last, desperate attempt to destroy our order.

To the Dark Hand of SRIA I say:

"You will ultimately fail in your quest to control the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn does not belong to you. It has never belonged to you. The Golden Dawn was created by the physical Third Order - who are QABALISTS of CONTINENTAL EUROPE...

...And not RACISTS of ENGLAND. 

The TRUE Third Order created the Golden Dawn as a reformulation of ancient Egyptian mysteries, clothed primarily in Qabalistic, Christian, and Rosicrucian symbols.  

Qabala has no place in your SRIA Anti-Semetic rules or your racist Rosicrucian views." 

- David Griffin

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 could the Anti-Semitic SRIA possibly even pretend to be the Golden Dawn's Third Order, when these bigots and racists discriminate against all but Trinitarian Christians.

The notion is absurd.
