Whoda thunk it — a new Order of the Golden Dawn, instituted in 2001. Interesting. Here’s a statement of wuddup from their home page:
We, the Most Honoured Archon Basileus, the Supremely Honoured Epopt and Polemarch, together with the Archontes of the Areopagus; the Greatly Honoured Chiefs and Sub-Chiefs of the Senatus; the Very Honoured Wardens and Sub-Wardens of the Concilia; and the Masters, Adepti, and Members of all Grades, Degrees, and Stages of the Chapel, Vaults, Temples, and Porches of the Third, Second, and First Orders, bestow our Greeting, Love, and Prayers upon each and every one who reads this, our Order of the Golden Dawn Manifesto.
On the Vernal Equinox, March 22nd Anno Domini 2001, the Head of the Order, known by the Motto Chaos Confusum, did establish and constitute the Order of the Golden Dawn to the service of mankind and to the Glory of the Lord of the Universe. Thus, manifested as a revival of the Order founded in the year 1888, the O.G.D. is composed of Three Orders, which operate in unison through Occult teachings and methods, transmitted by means of a progressive system of initiation within the Western Mystery Tradition.
This initiatory process is directed toward the gradual integration of the Lesser Mysteries of the First Order, the R.O.A.O.; the conscious discovery of the Greater Mysteries of the Second Order, the R.R. et A.C. and its Royal Secret; and finally, the assimilation of the Supreme Mysteries—the Mystery of Mystery—of the Third Order, the K.·.R.·.
Such mysteries find expression within the Order through rigorous theoretical study and disciplined practical application; through the sacred myths and symbolism of the Egyptian, Judaic, Greek, Christian, and T.·. traditions; and through the operative sciences of Gnosticism, Neo-Platonism, Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, Ceremonial Magic, Contemplative Mysticism, Kabbalah, Tarot, Divination, Astrology, Alchemy, Sexual Theurgy, and Enochian. United into one harmonious syncretistic system, these perpetually assist the Initiate in the Revelation, Awareness, and Expression of the Royal Secret: the Quintessence, the Stone of the Philosophers, True Wisdom, Perfect Happiness, and the Summum Bonum.
