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 Most importantly, the valuable information about how to work these rituals is largely unpublished.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.

This book expands on The Power of Asteria: Applied astrology for magic by probing into little known and explored areas in the magical use of astrology. Its cornerstone and underlying theme remain the practical uses of astrology in magic. It follows the same successful formula of providing a concise theoretical component accompanying each presented concept.

This book appears at a problematic time for magic, where those who practice are being chased from the public scene by untrained, armchair magicians and those who seek to peddle fake “magical goods.” It is a time where beginners, who have access to remarkable occult texts, are unable to practically work them because the real magicians are silent, lest they are attacked. Meanwhile, self-appointed magical role models and teachers cannot provide the elemental practical Magic 101, probably because they do not know it themselves.

When it was first released, Secret Inner Order Teachings of the Golden Dawn was a significant addition to the Golden Dawn corpus and made available second-order Golden Dawn magic material which was unavailable to those who at that point considered Israel Regardie as the only source of Golden Dawn magical material.

Astrological Geomancy was once the mainstay of the Western Mystery Tradition as a form of divination only matched by Astrology.

For centuries, court magicians used Geomancy to advise the crowned heads of Europe on matters related to war, marriages, foreign and economic policy.

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.
