Theos-Talk Archives (May 1996 Message tl00820)

Hi Theos-l fellows. How have things been going? It's been a while.

I noticed the mentioning of Aleister Crowley in a recent posting.
This reminded me of the famous order of the Golden Dawn.
Does anyone know what has become of it? I mean, I've read their homepage,
but am not sure whether this order has regenerated itself from the many
troubles in the past or not. Is this a truely spiritual order - a true
mysteryschool - like they claim - or not?

Who has any experience with this order? Jerry Schueler maybe?
What about the Enochian Magic? The GD has a little file on this subject.
Only, after reading it, I wonder why people need to evoke
the elementals from the four Elements, including spirit as a guiding principle,
by some ceremonial magic. Leading a spiritual life seems enough to me.
But I don't like rituals, so I may be biased. Another issue is this: do
fraternities like this order hold public lectures, etc.? In my opinion, all
orders who possess real wisdom should do some public work in order to help
humanity.

Any information would be appreciated.


A side note about the volume of messages some people complained about:

<Alan: about services that charge *by the message*>

Would it help if people set their mail options to digest?
That way they would have less single postings.
