1 1. THE OATH T h e contents of this booklet are based on m y study of the old texts concerning the legendary m agickal order of the Golden Dawn. Let us begin w ith the following exercise. (A) Sit, eyes closed. Breathe in slowly, hold, breathe out slowly. Continue doing this for one m inute. (B) Now, for a few m om ents, think of som ething funny or som ething w hich makes you happy. (C) O pen your eyes and think of the things that you m ost want. Do this for a m om ent, but then make as if you are going to speak your wish(es), but don t. (D) Close your eyes and think of your faith in m agick to make your wishes come true. You are now ready to take the O ath of the H erm etic O rder of the Golden Dawn. Reading from here, say: I further prom ise and swear that w ith the divine perm ission, I (state full name) will from this day forward apply myself to the G reat Work, w hich is to purify and exalt my spiritual nature so that w ith the divine aid I may at length attain to be m ore than hum an, and thus gradually raise and unite m yself to the higher and divine genius and that in this event I will not abuse this power entrusted to me. Am en. Now close your eyes and imagine the things you want to come true: feel, smell and taste them. Now say: Peace to all good above all, so as I will, so shall it be. A m en. 3

2 2. THE RITUAL OF ELEMENTAL BALANCE T his was perform ed by m em bers of the Golden Dawn to increase their magickal power. You are now about to increase your own power. T he following eight acts should be done twice, and perform ed three tim es a day. 1. Stand facing east. Im agine a shining w hite light from above entering your head. 2. Now, reach up w ith a right finger pretending you are touching this light that is entering your head. W ith your finger you draw this light to your forehead. 3. Now im agine it as a yellow triangle of air covering the upper part of your body. Now speak slowly and loudly: SHAM -DYE-EL-CHAF. 4. Now see a black triangle of soil (representing the earth) covering the lower part of your body. Point your hand downwards, speaking slowly and loudly. AH- D O H -N Y E-H A -A H -R ETZ. 5. See a red triangle o f fire over the right side of your body, touch your right shoulder and say slowly and loudly: YODE-HE-VAV-HEY-TZAH-BAH-OTH. 6. N ext im agine a blue triangle of water, covering your left shoulder. Speak slowly and loudly. E L -O H -H E E M -T Z A H -B A H -O T H. 7. Interlocking fingers, hand bending outwards im agine a wheel o f bright light in the centre o f your body, uniting all triangles. 8. See the light at the crown of your head connecting to the inner worlds and speak slowly the word E T H. Perform this ritual for two weeks. O n the third week perform the following four tim es every m orning: (A) Inhale. Im agine the fire triangle. (B) Hold. Im agine the w ater triangle. (C) Exhale. Im agine the air triangle. (D) Empty, hold. Im agine the earth triangle. At the end of three weeks you will feel an incredible sense of equilibrium and an awakening of your psychic powers. An im m ediate effect for me was the sensing o f the presence of m y late father. I could smell his scent everywhere. T his gave me a great sense of com fort. 3. THE PRAYER TO THE GREAT GOD OF HEAVEN I have sim plified this lengthy and complex G olden Dawn ritual. H ere is its essence. 4

3 1. For 24 hours avoid cardinal activity; avoiding alcohol and loud music. 2. The following day, before the ritual, for one hour build up within yourself an excited desire for what you most wish for. 3. Light a white candle, place it on the floor and sit before it. Alternatively, place it on a table and sit on a chair. If it is not practicable to light a candle then imagine the candle. 4. Clasp your hands together, and call out the magick name repeatedly for about two minutes. It is: TAPH-THARA-THARATH. 5. Close your eyes and for about five minutes contemplate on the fact that you have called upon a great mighty spirit of the Holy O rder of the Golden Dawn. 6. Eyes opened, raise your arms in a worshipping position and recite three times: Oh, ye great Lords of the Hall of the Two-Fold Manifestation of Truth, who preside over the weighing of souls in the Place of judgement before Aeshoari, give me thy hands for I am made of thee. Give me thy hands, give me all thy magick powers, that I may have given unto me the force and the power and the might irresistible, which shall compel this disobedient spirit TAPH-THARA-THARATH to appear before me now. Now I call thee: TAPH-THARA-THARATH! TAPH-THARA-THARATH! TAPH-THARA-THARATH! I call and command you to appear before me now, so that I may accomplish the desires and wants in me now, to manifest into my reality. In myself I am nothing: in ye I am all self and exist in the self-hood of the mighty eternity! Oh Thoth, Oh Osiris, Oh A turn, Oh Ra, Oh Jesus, in the holy power of God I command you, TAPH-THARA- THARATH! Make your presence known to me right now and I shall glorify thy name forever more, and grant me what I ask! 7. Close your eyes and dwell on the m ight of your words. Think of the power you have generated. 8. For about ten minutes recite your wish(es), believing that they will become fact. Tell Taphtharatharath what you want. You may sense his presence. In the event of a physical manifestation of the spirit, fear not. He is under your command. 9. Now say, Thank you for making my wish/wishes come true. Fare thee well, oh great spirit. 10. Look at the candle and believe that its flame is also bringing your wish to fruition. Allow the candle to burn itself out. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO BURN IF THERE IS A FIRE HAZARD. If in doubt, don t burn a candle at all, content yourself with imagining one. Repeat this ritual every seven days until such time as your wish is granted. To be a successful occultist you must have total faith in the outcome. You must not tell anyone what you are doing. This is a lonely path - it is no-one else s business - but you will walk with the gods.

4 A word about evil spirits. My mother was being tormented by a demon, who terrorized her in her dreams. My research into medieval manuscripts revealed that the way to deal with such an entity is to shout at it and threaten it. Tell it: I will destroy you, or I have the power to send you to hell, if you do not depart. I did this every day for ten minutes, and my mother was at peace again. If a spirit seems not mischievous you could make friends with it and speak kind words. It could help you in your psychic work. 4. SPELLS OF THE GOLDEN DAWN The following is for the evocation of psychic power. Perform at one o clock in the morning of a Monday, that is an hour after midnight Sunday. With black ink draw on a plain piece of paper or card the magickal box of the moon. On the reverse, draw the planetary seal of the moon. Now, for a few minutes, contemplate having psychic powers: imagine you can see into the future, that you can travel on the astral and communicate with spirits, and all the other gifts of psychic power. Holding the paper in front of you, believe in the power it can give. Now make this evocation: I call and command forward the powers of the Moon, in the names of Yesod and M alkuth and by the sacred name of Gabriel, ruler of the Moon, I invoke thee. I call and command the powers of the Moon to flood into my life forever. I summon the powers and virtues of the Moon on this night and at this hour to be present and willing to serve unto me and bring me the power to lift my spirit out of my body and travel anywhere in my dreams as I sleep, to see and hear everything wherever I may go. So mote it be. Close your eyes for a moment, then open and chant the magickal name RANA for five minutes looking at your paper, whilst believing totally that your wish will be granted. 37 z??.i 13,T i \<+4-b J lb? <*0 32. b+ 24- St M-l 73 3?. 6S 2S 2b 5 f ( te b7 V7 59 ' S 3\> a <9 t>0 II 52 3 W zs <>9 10 fei a 5? 4-5 THE MAGICKAL SQUARE OF THE MOON f~ add this THE PLANETARY SEAL OF THE MOON 6

I invoke thee, I call and command the

6 powers of Jupiter to flood my life with money that will last forever. I summon the powers and virtues of Jupiter on this day and at this hour to be present and willing to serve me with all the money I desire. So mote it be. You have a choice of four times when to do this spell: at eight in the morning chant the magick name BERON for five minutes after making the above evocation; at one o clock in the afternoon chant THAMUR. At eight in the evening, chant YAYN and RANA at one o clock in the morning. Hold the image of wealth as you chant. You repeat the spell every Wednesday until you see a result.

THE MAGICKAL SQUARE OF VENUS THE PLANETARY SEAL OF VENUS Now follows a general spell for success. This is for success in any undertaking. It is to be performed on Saturn s day, Saturday, and can be at eight or one in the day or one or eight at night. With blue ink, draw the square on a plain piece of paper or card and the planetary seal on the other side. Then dwell for a few minutes on the success you desire before evocating: I call and command forward the powers of Saturn, in the holy name of Binah and by the sacred name of Cassiel and the archangel Tzaphquiel who rules Saturn. I invoke thee, I call and command that the powers of Saturn come into my life forever. I summon the powers and virtues of Saturn on this day and this hour to be present and willing to serve me and bring success. Let me excel, let me win, let me soar. So mote it be. Next, thinking of your success, look at the square and seal and for five minutes chant THAMUR if it s one o clock in the day, or BERON if it is eight in the morning. At night, YAHN at eight or RANA at one., 5 t I? THE MAGICKAL SQUARE OF SATURN THE PLANETARY SEAL OF SATURN

8 The next one is called A Sex Slave Spell for Men and is, not unnaturally, dedicated to Mars. Draw the planet s square and seal on each side of a plain card or paper. Dwell on your objective - an enjoyable task! - for five minutes and then recite: I call and command forward the powers of Mars, in the holy name of Geburah and the sacred name of Zamael and the archangel Khamael who rules Mars. I invoke thee, I call the powers of Mars into my life forever. I summon the powers and virtues of Mars on this day and hour to be present and willing to serve me. Bring to me young women of lust and passion who will obey me and crave me from the depths of their soul. Let them burn with passion for me forever. So mote it be. For five minutes, chant the magick name, BERQN if eight in the morning; THAM UR if at one in the afternoon; YAYN if at eight in the evening; or RANA if one o clock at night. Repeat every Tuesday until a result is obtained. Given the notorious reputation of certain members of the Golden Dawn, proceed cautiously. Unless you also accept responsibility for the woman or women concerned you risk self-destruction, of which Mars is an agent. Thank him for granting your request and respect him.

Inscribe the magickal square of the sun on a plain piece of paper or card and inscribe the planetary seal on the reverse. For about five minutes, contemplate the idea of a light surrounding you. Think of a force around you which nothing can penetrate. Now make the following evocation: 10

9 I call and command forward the powers of the Sun, in the holy name of Tiphareth and by the sacred name of Michael and the archangel Raphael who rules the Sun. I invoke thee, I command that the powers of the Sun come into my life forever. I summon the powers and virtues of the Sun, on this day at this hour to be present and willing to serve me in my daily life and bring me loving protection against all evil. Let me feel the warm and loving angelic present with me everywhere I go and in everything I do. So mote it be. Needless to say, this spell should be performed on a Sunday at either eight o-clock in the morning or at one in the afternoon. Close your eyes for a moment, then open and look at the square and seal and for five minutes, chant BERON if in the morning or THAMUR if in the afternoon. Repeat every Sunday until you feel it is working, and when it does give a short prayer of thanks, in your own words, to the sun. ^ add this

10 THE GOLDEN DAWN by Joel Goldstein As one would expect of a secret society, details are hard to come by. This is a rough sketch. The Hermetical Order of the Golden Dawn was founded by Dr. W. W. Westcott in A year later his position was usurped by S. L. Mathers, after M athers wife was approached by three Masters in a Paris park. Mathers had spent years in libraries in Paris and London studying medieval Jewish texts. He published a translation of The Key of Solomon in 1889 which remained archaic to most readers until modernised a century later by Carl Nagel with Finbarr s publication of The Black Seals o f Solomon and The Bible Secrets of Moses and Solomon. It was a chemist named Cecil Jones who introduced Aleister Crowley to Mathers and the Golden Dawn. Jones described the Golden Dawn as nothing more than a gentleman s club which was a neat piece of subterfuge. Mathers was supposed to have received secret knowledge from an unknown Master, whom some speculate to be no other than the ageless Count Saint-Germain. Germany was the source of much of the Order s thinking, but it claimed inspiration from the secret Masters of Tibet who governed mankind s affairs. The belief in such mysterious Masters was at the heart of the Theosophical Society founded by Helena Blavatsky. The Golden Dawn graded its members according to an hierarchy of degrees. There were also Orders within the Order, the lower studying but not practising magick; the higher were practi tioners, whilst the elite were in direct contact with the Masters. The Order flourished and at one point claimed a hundred or more members. M athers was a good organizer but tyrannical. Possessed by Mars, according to Crowley, he sought to run the Order in a military fashion. Crowley, another difficult man, was much influenced by Mathers, and was like him in various ways. Both men were fixated with titles, honours, and other superficial trappings. Both sought to impress and made outrageous claims to bolster their authority over the impressionable. Golden Dawn member, the poet W. B. Keats, considered Mathers half lunatic, half knave. Despite the pomposities, the Second Order met in modest rented rooms near Euston station and in Hammersmith; also at another London location in Great Queen Street. Crowley regarded most of the members as non-entities. We have details of his initiation. The high priest stands before the altar, between two pillars and addresses the hushed membership. Crowley is robed, hooded and bound by a triple cord. A voice cries out, Child of Earth! Come and enter the Path of Darkness! A second voice disputes, barring the way of the initiate, Child of Earth! Unclean and unconsecrated! Thou cannot enter our Sacred Hall.5 Water and fire are 12

11 administered. The high priest: Child, wherefore had thou come to request admission to this order? A voice answers on his behalf: My soul is wandering, seeking the light of occult truth, and I believe that in this Order truth may be obtained. Are you willing, before this assembly, to take a great and solemn oath to keep the secrets of the Order? asked the high priest. I am, replies the neophyte who then kneels and places his hand on a white triangle. He bows his head and is touched by a sceptre. Then, repeating the high priest s words, he swears the solemn oath. Child of darkness! called the high priest, Long have thou lived in ignorance. Quit the darkness and enter the light. The hood over Crowley s head was then removed and he arose with the light of understanding already starting to shine in his eyes. He acquires a magickal name. Thereafter he passed through the Order s various grades which corresponded to the Sephiroth of the Caballistic Tree of Life, eventually reaching Philosophus, one of the highest grades (though there were grades yet higher). A fusion of Jewish mystic thought, Babylonian astrology, Pythagorean numerology and Egyptian mythology seemed to form the bedrock of Golden Dawn ritual. As for it being a gentleman s club, it had numerous women members. It seemed to be a magnet for eccentrics, and, notwithstanding its rituals for power and wealth, seemed to remain poor. Does this mean the rituals did not work? Research suggests they did, but no amount of ritual could save these people from themselves. Crowley, for example, who wielded the power of life and death and who could summon any number of spirits for wealth, was forever on the brink of insolvency. Not surprisingly, the Order of the Golden Dawn, plagued by in-fighting, did not last many years. An example: Alan Bennett and Mathers quarrelled over Shiva the Destroyer, a H indu divinity worshipped by Bennett. Bennett claimed that if Shiva s name was repeated enough, the god would open his shut eye and destroy the universe. Mathers scoffed at this, the notion that the universe depended on Shiva keeping his eye shut. Bennett was adamant, so adopted a yogic posture and began chanting the god s name incessantly. Mathers flew into a rage and demanded he stop. Shiva, Shiva, Shiva... he went on. Then Mathers produced a revolver, but it made no difference. The destruction of Bennett s universe was narrowly avoided by the timely intervention of M athers wife.

12 Cosmic Power Attack Rituals by Larry Hool The following rituals are only for use against anyone who is trying to make your life a misery. They should not be used against anyone you are merely in conflict with. If you are genuinely the victim of someone s unwarranted malicious intent, then you are entitled to psychically attack that person. First, perform the opening Cosmic Power (CP) ritual as follows. See a white light over your head. Slowly breathe in, imagining the light entering your body through the crown of your head and leaving through your feet as you breathe out. Now speak the following: I call upon the inner planes to listen and assist me in my venture. Please, Anzel, Nitika and Opiel come to me. Thou, all gods, come to my assistance! So mote it be. If possible, light a black candle which should be left to burn. If there is a fire risk then you should not use a candle. Now speak firmly the following: Seek out my enemy, KAY-VAY-KEY and MAIN-DEE-AL, no m atter where he (she) may be. Go to the ends of the earth if need be! Scourge him with the rods of vengeance, overcome his mind. I command this of thee in the authority of the words of power: KESS- SEA-HEH. So mote it be. The following is particularly effective against one of the opposite sex who is bearing lies and slander against you. Do the opening CP ritual, light a black candle (if possible; if there is a fire risk, don t) and speak firmly: By the power invested in me, I command thee AH-KNEE-ELL and KAH-AH-ME-AH to close the mouth and eyes of (here state person s name), who maligns me. Visit him (her) when he sleeps and plant fright and dread so that he no longer maligns me. Obey me with the word of power: GAY-BOO-RAH-VAHV. So mote it be. The following is particularly effective for dealing with someone who is unjustly harassing you. Begin with the opening CP ritual and then speak three times the following: Thou, SAY-EAT-ELL and OLE-ME AH, lie in wait for my enemies. Send fire and force into their minds when they next harass me. I seal this command with the word of power: TEE-FAR-ATE- YOD. So mote it be. 14

13 T H E ATTACK CANCELLATION RITU AL Once you fed your enemy is totaily helpless and conquered, you will eventually need to cancel your attack. To withdraw the devastating effects of your cosmic power, carry out the opening CP ritual and then say: These forces whom I command withdraw from the scene of battle. Stay with me and hear my future calls. I command thee with the word of power: Neat-sank-heh. So mote it be. Your enemy will at once be released from the effects of your ritual, but you can, at any time, turn it back onto your enemy if you find he/she has not had enough, or when the person is trying to make your life a misery again. Just carry out the appropriate ritual and he/she is back in your power again. YOU ARE NOW W ELL, EQUIPPED T O OVERCOME YOUR ENEM IES No m atter what your enemies are trying to do to you, they can be kept at bay and be totally defeated by the force of your CP The rituals and incantations in this chapter focus your CP and attack the minds of your foes at inner levels. You can now choose your spell and find almost immediate peace and harmony, free from hassles, and do so easily and automatically. You know how to manipulate your cosmic power. Why or how it works is unim portant. You are looking for concrete results, not reasons. It is my desire that you find everything you seek, as I and hundreds of other people all over the world, who have learned the simple secrets of cosmic power, have done. If anything threatens the perfection of your existence, perform the spell that will banish it. If you find a gap in your material or emotional life, let your cosmic power fill it, quickly and easily.
