GDT Self-Initiation (w/ Guidance) ~ 3 Year Course

Most certainly & without doubt the Golden Dawn system of theurgy is the most potent in all of western history. Harmonising many traditional disciplines and based upon the Hermetic gnosis of Light & Life, which is true to its source in 3rd Century Alexandria; the modern Golden Dawn Tradition is a Mystery School & a preparation for magic unlike any that has ever existed before. The GDT is not the flawed reconstruction of the past but rather the crowning glory of Western esotericism.

For those seeking the Fires of Test & Trial to initiate themselves in the Hermetic Tradition of the Order of the Golden Dawn; in preparation for the 5=6 Solar Initiation into the Vault of the Adepti of the Rosicrucian tradition. Sign-Up now for an email about what to expect and how to prepare for this sojourn through the Hermetic Mysteries and Golden Dawn Tradition; and a lesson for your first practice. But you can certainly do so one-on-one with me at my regular rates for Spiritual Direction.

If you are curious, here is a link below for a "first time" deal for a one-on-one session with me.

What Will You Do?

  • Pass Seven Examinations

  • 72+ hours One-On-One tutoring

  • 200+ hours of group class workshops

  • 1000+ hours of personal study and practice

  • A full curriculum of videos & multimedia lessons

  • Actively engage with other students via our group chat

This training will be comparable and in fact surpass the quality of most education currently available. Develop theurgic and conjuration skills and gain the most solid foundation possible in the arcane arts & occult sciences. This G.D. system goes beyond what is commonly believed today by most people and incorporates grimoiric magic, geomancy, alchemy, meditation, astral travel, scrying, and, of course, Enochian magic. Joining here enters you into the initial course of study for the Neophyte. Once you pass your examination after six months (to a year, but no longer) you gain access to the next course of study for the element of Earth; so on, and so forth until Adeptus.

Hermetic Golden Dawn Tradition Outer Order Curriculum

Welcome Neophyte, to the New Life!

To begin you must be able to commit an hour a day. This includes ~30 minutes of ritual and meditation and ~30 minutes of study & memorization. 

You can miss a day, but make up for it another day the same week. Slow and steady wins the race that is not a race. All you should strive to do is better than the day before.

Self-Initiation is notoriously more difficult than through the ceremonies in a Golden Dawn temple. Sticking closely to the original Order's more austere curricula, and not expanding it with material meant for the Inner Order, allows for the possibility of this all to be done in a mere three years. Many temple initiates are exceptional to become adepts in four or five years, with many people taking seven to ten years.

So this is an intense but manageable path that is presented to you now:

Three Year Plan

0=0 Neophyte (6 Months) 

1=10 Earth (6 Months) 

2=9 Air (6 Months)

3=8 Water (6 Months)

4=7 Fire (7 Months)

Spirit (9 Months)

This course includes:

  • Three Monthly Workshops (on zoom for 1-2 hours)

    • The first is open to all grades

    • The second is for the grade you are in

    • The third is strictly a ritual & meditation class (wear robe & nemyss)

  • Monthly One-On-One session with me for private tutoring & spiritual direction (with the option for an additional session monthly, as well).

  • An all members ceremony is performed online at every Equinox and Solstice (four times a year).

Life is an adventure, so do not miss out on this rare experience of a journey through the mysteries with one of the most experienced teachers and Hierophants in the living Golden Dawn tradition today.

Magical Motto

You must choose a motto to represent this three-year journey of alchemical transformation. This will be something to discuss before the Equinox and is usually not changed midway but certainly can be. Again, these are incredibly personal things and have to be discussed and reflected on in one-on-one sessions spiritual direction.
