Training Manuals

Kabbalaka tree of life

A core part of hermetic theurgy involves the study of Kabbalah (Qabalah). Based on the Zohar, various schools of kabbalah filtered into Western Theurgy via the so called “Christian kabbalists” of the Rennaisance, such as Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Views of the kabbalah in the Golden Dawn originates from the Kabbala Denudata by Rosenroth, and the teachings of Isaac Luria, aka "the Arizal", for example. In your training, you will study the energies within the Tree of Life and how to use them.

Tarot cards

Tarot has been a part of the Golden Dawn training ever since the first form of the Order was established in 1888. In fact one of the historical members (AE Waite) published the widely-known Rider-Waite-Smith deck, designed by artist and order member, Pamela Coleman-Smith. Within your training you will be taught how to read the tarot as well as other methods of divination.,

Ritual in a Golden Dawn temple

Ritual work is a core part of the experiential learning aspect of Theurgy. Famous ancient theurgist, Iamblichus, made it very clear that theurgy is not just an intellectual pursuit. What we learn has to be put into practice. You will be given rituals and meditations to practise at home and within your local temple. You will be taught how to use your voice and how rituals function.

Annual Conclave

We host an annual conclave event for members. This includes intensive magical training via classes, workshops and rituals. This is particularly helpful for correspondence members who may not live near to a temple. Temple hold local events during the year and sometimes these can include public ceremonies, such as the Magical Healing Eucharist. 

The Second Order

Having progressed through the elemental training within the Outer Order, you may be eligible to continue that training through more in-depth work via the Second, or Inner, Order. The Second Order also governs the Outer and consists of the Adept grades. Access to the Inner Order is by invitation following a process of assessment.
