The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings, Rites, and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order

Before you begin this tome, purchase a companion book known as a 'dictionary'. Although this edition is edited to be easier for those of us that find comfort in words with less than eight letters in them, the true flavor of Israel Regardie's grasp of the English language is quite evident on each page; but don't let that dissuade you from owning this truly magnificent work. Work being the operative word here, beginning with looking up those words your not familiar with, to the repetitive, and exacting formulae of perfecting the magick you will learn to use as described within it's pages, The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings, Rites, and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order (7th Ed.) will, if the practitioner applies him/her self with true feelings and diligent purpose, reward with positive manifestation. It could take weeks to quickly read and leaf through and then go back and begin the true referencing, note-taking, practicing, and learning the work which could ultimately take years to grasp (master?), but then, if it wasn't hard work, it wouldn't work at all. I am thoroughly enjoying the read, and marveling at what I am learning.

Looks great. Tons of esoteric information

This book is about ceremonial magic of the Golden Dawn.

Very heavy book, awesome detail and great density in the work. Recommend for anyone who is into the Western Esoteric Tradition/Current. 93

It is that it is. Chances are that you have an idea as to the contents of this text if you are reading this review, so I'll keep the summary short; big brick of a book, lots of ritual & symbolism related to Golden Dawn ceremonial magick, useful as a reference book for study & self-initiation. idk i like the heavy tome

This book very packed full of information, this is a very thick book. Just started reading it after I fast read through each book/chapter. I paid a bit more than I would have liked but, its finally in my library.

Everything an aspiring magician should want in their tome collection. This book is packed full of valuable gnosis for the journey of any form whether it be Esoteric, Metaphysic, or a path of Magick. You will not regret your decision. However, this information must be handled with absolute care and attention. Be warned that operations described in this book should be studied with great attention to detail, and almost certainly with the aid of a dictionary/translator. There are latin, hebrew, and greek phrases tucked in the pages so it is almost clutch to be able to translate it quickly.

Great book , by a understudy of Aliester Crowley. Just protect yourself , start working. AGLA !
