Our Traditional Golden Dawn Temples
& International Golden Dawn Community
In our order, YOU GET time-tested, True Golden Dawn Initiaton, physically present in the safety of one of our fully licensed and chartered, physical Golden Dawn temples.
Extensively trained, highly skilled, and fully credentialed Golden Dawn Hierophants will initiate you - and only with you phycically present.
Our order is the longest running lineal descendent of the original Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn of 1888. We operate an extensive network of traditional Golden Dawn temples throughout North America and Europe.
Unlike "astral initiation" and "self initiation" initiation scams you will find in copy-cat Golden Dawn orders, True Golden Dawn Initiation requires a great deal of Temple resources so there is only space for a limited number of candidates. In order to weed out the merely curious, our order requires as a condition of admission that all applicants be willing to travel to a nearby region for True Golden Dawn Initiation.
The choice that you are about to make is about more than mere convenience. It is about getting the complete, confirmed benefits of True Golden Dawn Initiation and reliable, quality training from an authentic source.
People are saying ‘yes’ to traveling because they want the risk free, rock hard benefits of True Golden Dawn Initiation. True initiation involves the ritual separation and reintegration of your physical, psychological and spiritual aspects to give birth to a higher and more balanced form and awareness.
This is a safe, powerful, and extraordinarily transformative experience when physically present in a legitimate Golden Dawn temple under the guidance of a highly trained and skilled Hierophant.
You would be nuts to believe though - just to avoid travelling - that you can accomplish the same thing with some daydreams from a book (Self-Initiation) or by meditating on the other end of the world from a ritual (Astral Initiation).
Despite false promises made by others, there is nothing like True Golden Dawn Initiation physically present in a traditional Golden Dawn temple with a highly trained Hierophant! Traveling to a legitimate Golden Dawn temple for the time-proven benefits of True Golden Dawn Initiation has since 1888 safely resulted in quantum leaps in spiritual growth for thousands of people!
But what about community?
If you are like many other people, one important reason you want to join the Golden Dawn is to become part of a community of initiates - and expand your spiritual network.
The primary function of physical Golden Dawn temples has always been - and still remains - to provide people with traditional, True Golden Dawn Initiation - and the integrity of physical initiation should not be compromised for any reason.
Let's face it though - Legitimate Golden Dawn temples are also an important source of community
... and there are just not enough of temples around the world to properly fulfill this need.
This is why our order is so creative in developing more and more ways to help you build community!
Take for example, our GOLDEN DAWN MEMBERS' WEBSITE - where you can meet Golden Dawn members from around the world - expand your spiritual network - and motivate your spiritual practice.
Take, for example, our VIRTUAL CLASSROOM - where you can attend LIVE weekly CLASSES - on a variety or topics including grade work, tarot, alchemy, etc - with Golden Dawn members from around the world.
Take, for example, our LIVE monthly COACHING SESSIONS - led by Senior Adepts and the Chiefs of our Order - where you meet Golden Dawn members from around the world in our VIRTUAL CLASSROOM.
Take, for example, the all of the FORA and CHAT ROOMS in our Golden Dawn Members' Website - where you can not only get your questions answered - but also meet with other Golden Dawn members.
And we are not finished yet! We are busy creating even more ways for you to expand your spiritual network.
Take, for example, our new Golden Dawn SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY WEBSITE presently under development. When this goes on-line (Coming Spring Equinox 2009) - you will be able create as many of your own fora and chat rooms as you lilke - on any spiritual topics or traditions you like - to expand your spiritual community beyond even the Golden Dawn!
