The Esoteric Order of The Golden Dawn was a school of magic, founded during the late nineteenth century, one vowing to reveal all manner of occult knowledge to its members. Celebrated among these were Florence Farr, W.B Yeats, Charles Williams, A.E. Waite and Pamela Colman-Smith. Its figurehead, the autocratic Samuel MacGregor Mathers, inaugurated ceremonies that melded Christian Mysticism, the Qabalah and Hermeticism. Such a potent brew would eventually ensure that the Golden Dawn would burst asunder in an esoteric apocalypse.

The Magus: Kundalini and the Golden Dawn je kulminacija mog duhovnog putovanja kroz Tradiciju Zapadnih Misterija nakon doživljenog potpunog i trajnog buđenja Kundalini. Jednom kada sam se pridružio tajnoj i ezoterijskoj školi zvanoj Zlatna Zora (Golden Dawn), upoznao sam se sa Ceremonijalnom Magijom — praksom Duhovne Alhemije, koja je usmerena na podešavanje i čišćenje Čakri — čija je krajnja svrha lična transformacija i Prosvetljenje. Otkrio sam da prakticiranje ove svete umetnosti prizivanja energije nije samo umanjilo intenzivan strah i anksioznost koje sam doživeo nakon buđenja Kundalini, već je i deset puta intenzivnije podstaklo moj duhovni napredak u kratkom vremenskom periodu. Zbog toga sam se posvetio savladavanju celokupnog Sistema Zlatne Zore. Nakon što sam vodio grupu Zlatna Zora u Torontu, Ontario, napustio sam organizovani sistem, ali sam nastavio da predajem Ceremonijalnu Magiju drugim tragačima za Svetlošću. Shvatio sam da svetu nedostaje jedinstven i sveobuhvatan sistem Magije koji kombinuje Istočnu duhovnost i Zapadne Misterije, čija je prezentacija jasna i koncizna, bez uobičajenih teško razumljivih okultnih konotacija. Ono što se pojavilo je Magus — univerzalna nauka o energiji u kojoj svi učestvujemo kao ljudska bića. Ne morate da budete deo Magijskog reda da biste dobili punu korist od iniciranja u energije našeg Sunčevog sistema. Sve što se može steći vežbanjem Ceremonijalne Magije, može se uraditi iz udobnosti Vašeg doma. Ako posvetite deset minuta dnevno ovoj praksi, možete značajno napredovati u svojoj duhovnoj evoluciji. Vežbe Ceremonijalne Magije u Magusu, predstavljene su kao deo programa Duhovne Alhemije čiji je cilj da vam pomognu da se povežete sa svojim „Višim Ja“ i iskoristite svoj najveći potencijal kao duhovnog ljudskog bića. Ovi programi idu ruku pod ruku sa predavanjima znanja o Kabali, Pet Elemenata, Sedam Čakri, Astrologiji, Tarotu, Gatanju, Meditaciji, Hermetičkoj Filozofiji i Alhemiji, Hrišćanskim i Egipatskim Misterijama, Enohijanskoj Magiji i još mnogo toga. Magus takođe sadrži bogato znanje o Kundalini iz istočne i zapadne perspektive. Kroz rad u Magusu, Vaša veza sa Stvoriteljem jača, što rezultira povećanjem Vaše lične moći i sposobnošću da manifestujete život kakav oduvek želite. Kada postanete najbolja verzija sebe, možete postati heroj svoje priče i doživeti radost i uzbuđenje života. Krajnji cilj Magusa je završetak Velikog Dela, što podrazumeva proširenje i ujedinjenje individualne svesti sa Kosmičkom Svešću.

Ronald Hutton is known for his colourful and provocative writings on original subjects. This work is no exception: for the first full-scale scholarly study of the only religion England has ever given the world; that of modern pagan witchcraft, which has now spread from English shores across four continents. Hutton examines the nature of that religion and its development, and offers a microhistory of attitudes to paganism, witchcraft, and magic in British society since 1800. Its pages reveal village cunning folk, Victorian ritual magicians, classicists and archaeologists, leaders of woodcraft and scouting movements, Freemasons, and members of rural secret societies. We also find some of the leading of figures of English literature, from the Romantic poets to W.B. Yeats, D.H. Lawrence, and Robert Graves, as well as the main personalities who have represented pagan witchcraft to the world since 1950. Densely researched, Triumph of the Moon presents an authoritative insight into a hitherto little-known aspect of modern social history.

Examining the intersection of occult spirituality, text, and gender, this book provides a compelling analysis of the occult revival in literature from the 1880s through the course of the twentieth century. Bestselling novels such as The Da Vinci Code play with magic and the fascination of hidden knowledge, while occult and esoteric subjects have become very visible in literature during the twentieth century. This study analyses literature by women occultists such as Alice Bailey, Dion Fortune, and Starhawk, and revisits texts with occult motifs by canonical authors such as Sylvia Townsend Warner, Leonora Carrington, and Angela Carter. This material, which has never been analysed in a literary context, covers influential movements such as Theosophy, Spiritualism, Golden Dawn, Wicca, and Goddess spirituality. Wallraven engages with the question of how literature functions as the medium for creating occult worlds and powerful identities, particularly the female Lucifer, witch, priestess, and Goddess. Based on the concept of ancient wisdom, the occult in literature also incorporates topical discourses of the twentieth century, including psychoanalysis, feminism, pacifism, and ecology. Hence, as an ever-evolving discursive universe, it presents alternatives to religious truth claims that often lead to various forms of fundamentalism that we encounter today. This book offers a ground-breaking approach to interpreting the forms and functions of occult texts for scholars and students of literary and cultural studies, religious studies, sociology, and gender studies.

The late Victorian period witnessed the remarkable revival of magical practice and belief. Butler examines the individuals, institutions and literature associated with this revival and demonstrates how Victorian occultism provided an alternative to the tightening camps of science and religion in a social environment that nurtured magical beliefs.
