This Revised Hardbound Edition is limited to 111 copies. It is significantly revised from the first paperback edition and has become known as the scholar edition as the rituals have been meticously compared to the original and copious footnotes have been added to clarify any discrepancies from what is known to be actual. The Golden Dawn Tradition is experiencing a period of rapid growth and development. For over 100 years the rituals of the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha et Omega (R.O.A.O.) have been locked away in private collections and unavailable for many occultists to study and compare. The publication of these rituals are particularly interesting as they demonstrate the direction Mathers moved after he was expelled from the original Order of the Golden Dawn. As Nick Farrell clearly demonstrates in this book, Mathers moved to a Masonic style of operation in marked contrast to the Stella Matutina which developed in a Magical direction. Nick Farrell has made every effort to keep the rituals and diagrams true to the original Nisi material even when the discrepancies were likely incorrect. This is valuable for those who want to examine the material as close to the original manuscripts as possible. Nick Farrell's 'Mathers' Last Secret' will be discussed many years from now right along with Pat Zalewski's 'Golden Dawn Rituals and Commentaries' and Israel Regardie's 'The Golden Dawn'.

Over the years many myths have built up about one of the founders of the Golden Dawn, Samuel L. MacGregor Mathers. Many of these have been created by those who wish to damn the Golden Dawn and its system of magic or by those who want to naively believe a bogus magical story about the Order and its founders. In King Over the Water, Golden Dawn magician Nick Farrell paints a picture of the founders of the Golden Dawn becoming out of their depth as the Order began to create magicians. Rather than painting Mathers as an eccentric genius, Farrell sees him as an autocratic fantasist. He sees Mathers struggling to keep up as his students rapidly became better than him at the system he created, and shows how he was unable to raise his game to help the Order develop further. In what is a portrait of the problems that could befall any esoteric leader, Farrell (author of Gathering The Magic, a textbook on magical group dynamics) reveals how Mathers' later rituals were an attempt to remove the magic from the system he created so that he could milk it for money. Included are previously unpublished papers from Mathers' own version of the Golden Dawn, the Alpha et Omega, including the original Z documents, the full version of the Book of the Tomb (a key document for creating a Vault of the Adepts), the original method for the consecration of the sword, and much more. King Over the Water is the prequel to Farrell's groundbreaking expose on the Alpha et Omega, Mathers' Last Secret, and provides another look into the mind of a magician that helped develop the magic we use today.

Includes information on what talismans are and how they work; a brief history of talismans in the Western Magical tradition; how to use names of power, angels, magical languages, and color magic; how to draw talismans, consecrate them, and even destroy them.

A comprehensive illustrated reference guide with more than 400 entries on the subjects of magic and alchemy.

Whare Ra in New Zealand managed to keep secret and above all keep running long after the other Golden Dawn magical orders had closed. This book presents the Second Order Rituals of this Order including the 6=5 and 7=4 in their complete and unedited state as well as the 6=5 training papers and lectures, and a history of the group's foundation.

While being the touchstone for Western Mystery Tradition magic, the Golden Dawn system has been largely shrouded in secrecy. While versions of its rituals have been published, these have been hacked and valuable material missing. Most importantly, the valuable information about how to work these rituals is largely unpublished. This has created a ridiculous situation where many self-appointed Golden Dawn experts have no idea how to work the important initiation rituals or even understand how they are supposed to work. Fortunately, the Golden Dawn Tradition has managed to preserve its secret teaching through the work of those who were members of its last surviving temple in New Zealand - Whare Ra. Although that temple shut in the late 1970s. some of its senior adepts were able to pass on this secret teaching to a new generation. One of these was Pat Zalewski who has adapted and developed the work of Whare Ra Hierophant Jack Taylor, who was a model Golden Dawn adept and his mentor.This expanded Third Edition Golden Dawn Rituals and Commentaries provides those seeking the magical truth behind the Golden Dawn with the information they need. Not only do they have the full unedited rituals and diagrams, but also the magical mechanics of how to work them correctly. This edition is the first to contain the complete rituals from 0=) to 7=$, commentaries on the Equinox and Consecration of the Vault rituals and the instruction and experiences of those who have been working them through the 20th to the 21st century.

Bridges a major gap in every Golden Dawn library. These Rituals will free those who wish to explore the Grades above 5=6. Thus the shackles of temples which claim exclusive descent from the Golden Dawn will be broken. It is time to bring these hidden teachings of the Golden Dawn into the Light.
