Martin: I have had experience with more than one "Order of The Golden Dawn"
Including "The New Reformed Order Of The Golden Dawn" IN Berkeley California
which makes no pretense at all to being a serious magical order. They at
least are honest, which is a positive thing. The other Groups of people I
have encountered calling themselves Golden Dawn are on "head trips"....I do
not think there has been any really valid Ceremonial Magic going on under
that name in a long long time, lot's of ceremony but almost no magic. They
are certainly NOT a "Mystery School" they do not meet any of the criteria.
