Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.)
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
The Order of the Golden Dawn flourished between the 19th and 20th centuries, whose aim was the exercise of transcendental and mystic activities. In 1888 they founded the Isis-Urania Temple in London, where both men and women were admitted. The system was arranged in order of rank, and through esoteric ceremonies, the adept could achieve admission to the ‘ghostly realms’. The uniqueness of this society was due to the fact that it gave emphasis to the practice of magic, not only to the study of it. Famous figures joined the order, among them Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker and Aleister Crowley. The official website describes this society’s interests as ‘the ideas studied by Golden Dawn initiates are a unique combination of Jewish Kabbalah, ancient Egyptian and Greek mysteries, several strands of Christianity, and many other Western esoteric traditions.
