The Golden Dawn Saga: Episode 15: Conclusion

by Golden Dawn Imperator

David Griffin

When I first set out to write the Golden Dawn Saga, many months ago, I knew I was entering into a dark and mysterious world, where no one could see what lay ahead. What I witnessed during the ensuing months changed my life forever.

I have always been a bit of an adventurer of the Spirit - an explorer of the Soul. But together with the positive side of the heroic aspect of my nature, there still remained dark corners for me to uncover. 

Now, at the end of this Saga, I have learned that I am no longer a restless lad of 20, ready to risk everything along the way in my spiritual quest. 

Having been displaced from my home due to this Saga last Summer and forced into hiding by death threats was a sobering experience. It taught me just how much I love both my wife and my son, and that putting them in harm's way is simply not worth it. Watching them suffer because of the revelatons of the Saga was just too hard to bear.

Some may think me cowardly for giving priority to the safety of those I love. 

This is the choice I have made though, and I am sure it is the right one.

So, gentle reader, the Golden Dawn Saga comes to an end with but a sigh in the happy knowledge that my family is safe once again.

And what the most important lesson I learned along this journey?

Are some things not best left in dark corners where no light shines ...

... and some things left unsaid?

The End.

Or?

"Death Threat," The Golden Dawn Saga - Episode 14

by David Griffin

What I am about to reveal may shock and astonish you ... 

Let me first remind you once again that The Golden Dawn Saga is a TRUE story - told not by a yellow journalist - but by the Imperator of the world's largest and most influential Golden Dawn order... 
This is the story of the struggle of the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha Omega and our outer order, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn to remain FREE and INDEPENDENT - a shining beacon of light for those seeking spiritual evolution.

This is also the story of the shadowy world hidden behind the Golden Dawn - a world so strange and so corrupt that certain of those involved would stop at nothing to prevent you from hearing the rest of this saga. From the beginning, I was aware of the dangers involved in shining a light on uncomfortable truths ...

Still, nothing could have prepared me for the events that have transpired since I began the revelations of The Golden Dawn Saga ...

Since I began revealing the secrets of The Golden Dawn Saga months ago, I have received numerous DEATH THREATS.

At first, this did not really surprise me, considering the explosive nature of certain revelations of The Golden Dawn Saga, expecially those not yet been released until now. In recent weeks, however, the threats have become more frequent and more credible.

In light of these recent developments, I have taken a number of important precautions, at the insistence of Adepts of the Alpha Omega.

I will obviously not be commenting in public on actual security arrangements made by the order, other than that I have postponed all official public appearance for the order for the time being. 

I will, however spell out for the record that the following precautions that have indeed already been taken.

1. Clear lines of succession in the leadership of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its parent order, the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha Omega have been established and documented in a certified letter deposited in several places, to be opened only in the event of my untimely death.

2. My will and testiment have been emended, to reflect that the Isis-Hathor Temple and Retreat Center will remain at the disposition of the order even should the worst indeed occur.

3. Legal arrangements have been made, so that the trademarks held by our order will remain protected for the Alpha Omega in the event of my untimely death.

And - most importantly ... 

4. A complete dossier of documents concerning future revelations in the Golden Dawn Saga has been preserved in several safe places. 

"In the event of my untimely death, the ENTIRE dossier will be published immediately and all at once - Wikileaks style!"

The Golden Dawn Saga: Episode 4: "Mirackle"

by David Griffin

Serving as Imperator of the world's largest Golden Dawn order is not at all an easy job. Not only does defense of the order's reputation fall on your shoulders, but it also paints a target on your back.

In the old West, being fast on the draw was both a blessing and a curse. The problem was, there was always some young punk out to make a name for himself by showing he was even faster.

A fast and famous Wand of Power in the hands of a Golden Dawn Imperator creates very much the same problem. During my twenty years as Imperator, in the HOGD and AO we have had our share of magical attacks.

But before McGoldenDawn® franchise owners and their anonymous trolls start screaming "paranoia" and calling me names again, let me tell you what I mean. The truth about magical attacks on our order has been documented over and over again over the years, mostly whenever people got fed up and left Robert Zink's EOGD. Bob Zink is documented having using his entire order to attack us magically for years.

People have apologised decades later to me for doing Zink's dirty work. One man confessed  with tears in his eyes how he had spied on me at Zink's behest, following me from the Los Angeles hotel where I stayed on tour.

Then there is the story of the infamous Watermelon caper, where Zink and his members baptised a watermelon with my name, then hacked it to bits with swords.

To be frank, I remained mostly undisturbed by all this nonsense, as my attackers have been mostly a bunch of magical lightweights. These guys weren't able to get anywhere near me with their black magic due to our order's sophisticated and exhaustive magical defences.

For security reasons, I can't go into specifics, but part of our magical defences are like an electrified fence. Our defences are so automatic and formidable that only a fool with a death wish would be dumb enough to attack our order. In fact, we can usually tell who tell who attacked us just by observing whose life implodes around them.

The last person who decided to self destruct on our order's defenses was Robert Zink. We all know what happenned to Sideshow Bob.

The whole picture changed though, during the recent International Conclave of Golden Dawn Adepti at Isis-Hathor Mother Temple here in the Nevada desert. One morning, GH Frater DeDI and I decided to take a ride together to the store with the top down in "Mirakcle," my trusty Jaguar XKR. It was a beautiful morning. The desert sun was already warming the fertile sands exploding with wildflowers in the last week of Winter.

DeDI and I only get to see each other once in a blue moon, since I live in Nevada and DeDI lives on the other coast. Yet here we were, two of the  three chiefs of the Alpha Omega, cruising along in Mirackle, top down, Mick Jagger crooning on the radio, our hair blowing in the warm desert breeze.

We had just pulled out onto the interstate. Mirackle's engine was purring like a kitten at 70 mph. Suddenly, I saw something floating through the air towards us, like a leaf on the warm desert breeze.

Instantly, beauty turned to menace, and fascination to seel resolve. This was no leaf! This was a truck wheel on a deadly trajectory for our windshield - impact due in a matter of seconds. 

It looked like this - only higher in the air!

There was no time to outrun it on the highway, even for Mirackle. I put metal to the floor, engaged XKR Turbo - and reigned Mirackle full throttle onto the brush filled desert plain.

Mirakle clawed deeply into the sand, billowing dust behind us, as the plummetting missle hammered into the road where we had been but a split second before.

I reigned Mirackle in and - with lion like grace, she came around to an elegant stop on the sage drenched sands.

We had safely dodged the missile!

A Fate Narrowly Escaped!

A lesser car would have surely have been the death of us all, but Mirackle had saved the day. GH Frater DeDI and I came out without a scratch. Mirackle would need a good washing, but she pulled through unscathed as well.

Was this all sheer coincidence?

To suggest otherwise, would surely unleash another army of McGoldenDawn® franchise owners and thier anonymous trolls - accusing me of everything from paranoia to hunting for conspiracies under matresses.

But still - what are the odds of a near fatal accident with two Golden Dawn Chiefs - who almost never see each other - sitting together in one car?

What if this were not mere coincidence, after all?

Well - if it was a magical attack, I can tell you it didn't come from any of the limp-wand-wannabe-mes who keep calling me names on the Internet.

It would take a black magician of a whole different caliber to get this close without imploding on our order's magical defenses. In 20 years as Golden Dawn Imperator, I have never come so close to death.

Anyone good enough to toss a truck wheel at me on the Interstate has a dark hand worthy of respct!

So what was it? Coincidence?

Or has a new magical player taken the field?

Well, assuming you are still out there, somewhere in the shadows...  Whatever you are... Whoever you are... 

Or however it is you call yourself - Moriarty? Voldemort? Black Brother? Sith?

Whatever - Just be advised...

This time you caught the Adepts of the Rosy Cross by surprise - and nearly took out two of our GH Chiefs.

But our magical defenses, quick reactions, and Mirakle's Jaguar pounce together saved our lives.

Next time you will no longer have the element of surprise.

We will be waiting for you - like Jedi Masters and Knights of the Old Republic - we Adepts of the Rosy Cross and Secret Chiefs of the Golden Dawn...

Vigilant - standing tall - shoulder to shoulder - together we shall hold the line...

In that place where Darkness may not pass - and Shadows flee away!

Sunset Over The Nevada Desert

The Golden Dawn Saga: Episode 3: The Dark Secret Unmasked

by David Griffin

I am about to reveal to you a Dark Secret  ...

For years, incongruities in Nick Farrell's actions have made no sense at all. Farrell purports to be a Golden Dawn leader, yet actively tries to destroy the Golden Dawn. Contradictions surrounding Nick Farrell are well documented throughout the esoteric community.

Alexandrian Wiccan elder, Frater Barrabbas, analyzes, for example, how Farrell as "myth busting iconoclast" contradicts Farrell as "Golden Dawn leader." Barrabbas demonstrates how Farrell's arguments are but thinly disguised attacks on the Golden Dawn. These include Farrell's systematic profanation of secret Golden Dawn documents and teachings, Farrell's claim of a Golden Dawn Hoax, his portrayal of the Secret Chiefs as fantasy, his overwhelmingly negative attitude towards S.L. MacGregor Mathers and the Alpha Omega, etc.

Things have changed rapidly over the past couple of weeks.

Recent events have brought the paradox surrounding Nick Farrell into sharp focus. First came revelation of a Nick Farrell attack on the Golden Dawn in the introduction of his latest book, where he fear mongers up a myth of a modern "Golden Dawn Cult". When this attack on the Golden Dawn was exposed last week, Farrell desperately issued frenzied denails and diversions.

These quickly fell flat, however, when Farrell was caught for a second time in less than a week attacking the Golden Dawn tradition. This time Farrell published fear mongering "Golden Dawn Cult" rumors on his personal blog. Uttered through the mouth of "Anonymous Nick" trolls on his blog, Farrell, as blog moderator, personally published these "Golden Dawn Cult" rumors, making further denial or diversion virtually impossible.

Realizing his blunder, Farrell desperately tried to sanitize evidence from his blog. Farrell's cover-up effort came too late, however, as his true agenda had already been exposed to the whole world ...

A definitive pattern has emerged revealing Nick Farrell as a turncoat posing as Golden Dawn leader to more effectively destroy the Golden Dawn from within. In fact, Farrell's new book as a whole is in many ways a broadside against the entire Golden Dawn. Likewise are suggestions on Farrell's blog that "there is something deeply rotten in the egregrore of the Golden Dawn."

This is not the first time the Golden Dawn has been attacked with fear-mongering "Golden Dawn Cult" rumors. What is shocking this time around, is that the attacks come from someone claiming to be a Golden Dawn leader. In the past, such "Golden Dawn Cult" slurs have come only from outside, from fundamentalist Christian groups trying to destroy the Golden Dawn.

Similar attacks with this same "Golden Dawn Cult" slur have in recent years appeared sporadically on "anonymously" published blogs as well. The authorship of these blogs no longer remains much of a mystery though, since they each bear Nick Farrell's signature "Golden Dawn Cult" rumor, tied positively to Farrell this week through slip-ups in his books and on his personal blog.

Now that Nick Farrell has been caught red-handed fear-mongering against the Golden Dawn ...

Expect Farrell this week to unleash another army of "Anonymous Nick" Trolls again on his blog, calling me paranoid and a conspiracy nut for outing him and exposing his real game.

Expect Farrell to launch another one-man, Golden Dawn pseudo-flame War, to divert attention from these revelations.

Expect Nick Farrell to issue more mocking denials and diversions ....

But proof paints a very different picture - a picture a turncoat in our midst pretending to lead a Golden Dawn order, while bent on the destruction of the Golden Dawn tradition.

As evidence of the accuracy of these statements, I invite you to read the web page linked here, published by a fundamentalist Christian group called Uncommon Sense Ministries, whose overt purpose is to discredit and destroy the Golden Dawn.

Here you will find extremely damning evidence, exposing what Nick Farrell is really up to.

On the Fundamentalist Christian, anti-Golden Dawn attack page entitled, "The Dawn of a Golden Hoax," we find all of Nick Farrell's usual arguments attacking the Golden Dawn - From his Golden Dawn Hoax theory, to dispargement of the Secret Chiefs, to calling Mathers a liar, and much, much more.

I would recommend anyone about to read Nick Farrell's new book, King Over the Water, to read the "Uncommon Sense Ministries" website first. You will find all of Farrell's arguments here already, so you can save yourself $25. Even Farrell's description of the Horos scandal reads like he copied it directly from Uncommon Sense Ministries' attempt to destroy the Golden Dawn.

In fact, this anti-Golden Dawn attack page so closely mirrors Nick Farrell's arguments, The Dawn of a Golden Dawn Hoax reads as though written by Farrell himself!

So why are Nick Farrell's arguments identical to those of the of sworn enemies of the Golden Dawn? It does not matter whether Uncommon Sense Ministries is the source of Farrell's book, or instead Farrell himself wrote this anti-Golden Dawn attack website. In any case, only one inescapable conclusion remains - Nick Farrell is a turncoat out to destroy the Golden Dawn.

With this in mind, Farrell's fear-mongering "Golden Dawn Cult" rumors suddenly make sense:

Nick Farrell is a trojan horse, that has penetrated into the very heart of the Golden Dawn!

Nick Farrell: Sal Tessio of the Golden Dawn

Luckily, the betrayer has been discovered in time, and can now be delt with for who he really is in the Golden Dawn family.

And yet, other important questions still remain unanswered ...

Has Nick Farrell been acting on his own?

Or does a dark hand still lurk in the shadows, pulling strings?

The Golden Dawn Saga - Episode II: The Egyptian Connection

by David Griffin

Copyright © 2012

When I first contacted the Golden Dawn through Cris Monnastre, I was oblivious to the consequences a simple postcard from Cairo would have for decades to come - not only for me personally, but for the history of the entire Golden Dawn as well.

I came to Cairo to consecrate my elemental wand inside the King's chamber of the Great Pyramid of Khufu. How I created the Wand of Power is a story for another day. Having added the names of power on the wand in purest gold, each in a different city, and having crowned the wand with tips of pure gold and silver under the light of a total Solar eclipse ...

The Wand of Power at last was ready for consecration. And what better place to consecrate such a wand than inside of the King's chamber of the Great Pyramid of Egypt.

The Wand of Power

But destiny, it turned out, had other plans…

I had been constructing the wand for over a year when I discovered the perfect pretext to consecrate the wand in Egypt. There would be a New Age event there in 1992, to begin preparation for the 2012 end of the Mayan calendar.

Thus, I prepared myself with 6 months of a strictly vegetarian diet, combined with a severe regimen of fasting.

Thus, upon my arrival in Egypt, I was extremely sensitive to the energies around the pyramids. I also found myself surrounded by an amazing New Age side show, with people expecting everything from the appearance of UFOs, to the arrival of the Count of St. Germain, or the appearance of the Virgin of Fatima.

Nonetheless, I took everything happening around me as having symbolical value, in consideration of the personal spiritual mission I was on. Thus, I was quite dismayed when my room-mate, provided by the New Age crew, used a pendulum to convince me I should not consecrate the wand inside of the King's chamber, since, despite all of my fasting and dietary regimen, I had not undergone half a year of chastity, which my wife would never have supported to begin with.

Although I considered this but New Age nonsense, I could nevertheless not overlook a symbolical event prohibiting me from carrying out the plan for which I had come to Egypt. Thus, as sad as it made me, I left my wand back at the hotel when we as a group visited the King's chamber the next day. It broke my heart to do so, but the signs were clear enough. What happened inside the pyramid was even more astonishing, however.

I had a powerful and life changing vision while inside the sarcophogus, which left no doubt the Golden Dawn was right path for me. Far more surprising, however, was what else happened inside that chamber. Emerging from the pyramid, I found my pendulum-wielding room-mate, writhing in pain. Inside the King's Chamber, he had broken his thumb, lost his pendulum, and the hand he used to wield it was now swollen up like a tamale.

While he was whisked off to the hospital, I returned to my hotel room flabbergasted by everything. Never again would I see spirituality and sexuality as in any way contrary or incompatible. The psychic pseudo-conflict between the two, caused by my childhood Christian upbringing, had been overcome forever.

The next day, it became clear why an invisible hand had prevented me from consecrating the Wand of Power inside the King's chamber. The following night, I was offered to climb to the top of the Great Pyramid...

And this time all of the signs were "go." 

Prior to our pilgrimage, we anointed one another's feet with rose oil, then began the long ascent up the pyramid. The stones are just small enough to ascend one level at a time, using both hands and feet. About two thirds the way up, I made the mistake to look down and was overwhelmed with vertigo. The rest of the journey, I kept my eyes fixed only on the next stone in front of me.

The true astonishment came once I arrived at the summit. There I discovered why I had been stopped from consecrating the Wand of Power inside the King's Chamber. Here, and nowhere else, at the apex of the Great Pyramid, was the only place on Earth worthy of the consecration of such a wand. 

I have never experienced such powerful energies anywhere else on Earth. Here, at the apex of the pyramid, and not in the King's chamber as everyone believes, lies the true focal point of the energies.

I walked well away from the others and performed the sacred Egyptian rite of consecration, which I guard as a personal secret until today.

This was my adventure consecrating the Wand of Power in Egypt, which began my meteoric career in the Golden Dawn. Such was the burning fire of my spiritual aspiration when I first sought initiation.

Today, two decades later, this fire still burns strongly within me. It is this nobility of purpose and purity of heart that has sustained me through two decades of nearly non-stop attacks on the Alpha et Omega, and has protected me from the Dark Secret that has infiltrated the heart of the Golden Dawn.

The Golden Dawn Saga - Episode I: The Dark Secret

by David Griffin

Seldom has an esoteric order been so frequently, so publicly, and from so many sides maligned as the Golden Dawn's Alpha et Omega. Not since Aleister Crowley has any magician been so defamed and envied as in my 20 year tenure as Imperator of the Golden Dawn.

What you are about to hear may shock you ...

... In fact, the secret I am about to reveal may change everything you believe about the Golden Dawn!

From occult sanctuaries to open court, from flame-war history books to the wild west of the Internet, the saga of the modern Golden Dawn is as astonishing as it is disturbing.

The Golden Dawn Saga is a story of ecstacy and of spiritual

attainment...

... but also of intrigue, infiltration, and organised espionage.

Over the past two decades, there have been many attempts to destroy the Alpha et Omega or to topple its leaders. Our rituals and our mysteries have been published and our history rewritten and twisted, schisms have been engineered from outside, while on the Internet our order has been constantly misrepresented, and our leaders systematically defamed. Our order was sued to try even to take away our right to call ourselves Golden Dawn.

For two decades now, I have fought relentlessly to protect the survival of the Alpha et Omega and the integrity of the Golden Dawn. In this struggle, I have tried everything to convince our attackers to live and let live, to respect the independence of the Alpha et Omega, and to once and for all let our order prosper in peace.

All of these efforts have fallen on deaf ears. This is why, to ensure the survival of the Alpha et Omega, I have taken a fateful decision ...

... to follow the example of Julian Assange and of Wikileaks, and to expose what our enemies most fear will come to the light of public scrutiny.

A Dark Secret has infiltrated the very heart of the Golden Dawn ...

And out there - somewhere in the shadows, an unseen hand stirs in the blackness ....

... and Golden Dawn puppets snap to life.

Yesterday blogger account of The Golden Dawn Blog was hacked and Episode I of The Golden Dawn Saga was deleted here. Simultaneously, it was republished without permission on the blog of the leader of a New Age Golden Dawn order in a twisted manner. It appears foul play may be afoot to suppress coming revelations.
