Welcome to the new Golden Dawn Meeting Place. The topic of this forum is the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and all of it's various offshoots, extensions and extrapolations.

On-topic subjects for discussion include:

- The history of the Golden Dawn, Hermeticism and Rosicrucianism
- The influence of the Golden Dawn on Western esotericism
- GD-style ritual workings, their composition, performance and results
- Comparison and contrast of the various offshoots of the original Order
- Books and resources for Golden Dawn practitioners
- Announcements of Golden Dawn related websites and homepages
- Requests for the location of operating Lodges who are accepting new members

Membership in a GD organization is not required.

Contributors are expected to treat others on the list with respect and courtesy. A healthy and even forceful debate over the various methods and systems that have evolved from the original Order is encouraged, but flame wars and personal insults will be considered grounds for removal, at the discretion of the Moderator. All traditions and permutations of the Golden Dawn system are equally welcome here.
