Self-Initiation into the Golden Dawn

This is a great guide to flying solo into the fulfilling practice of the Golden Dawn. When I purchased it, I thought I would breeze through this book and the practices as I do with most other training manuals. Not the case. This is a lengthy process that takes years. The Introduction (before the Neophyte chapter) is going to take several months alone and a lot of discipline and will power. The Cisero's pick up and expound upon where Regardie left off with his Golden Dawn book. Having both books is very helpful, but this book fills in a lot of detail to help you find your way when you are far away from a major city (or out in the woods). This is a very big book. It feels like a text book from college after glancing through the chapters ahead. There are quizzes, homework, and yes... lots of memorization. Like I said... not for the undisciplined. I would encourage you to explore this though as after just a few months with this program there have been some major changes in my life, very subtle, but major shifts in thinking, willing, seeing. Stick with it. I promise the same will happen for you. I do wish this book would have more pronunciation guides than it does but Youtube has been a helpful supplement.

This is a great book for seekers of knowledge, truth, and traditions of GD.

This book is awesome if you’re new to the Kabbalah alchemy Egyptology and you want to learn more then this is the book for you it’s all encompassing practically it has everything from astrology to in depth meaning to every sphere in the tree of life the qabalistic cross lesser banishing rituals planetary squares the Hebrew alphabet quizzes for each chapter this book goes extremely in depth and can help any beginner interested in learning magick from the ground up basicallyit’s honestly just too much to even write about this book I love it

Going through the Kindle edition.. even just in the First Lecture, there are numerous small typos, usually missing words. "On hand Uriel" for LBRP instruction, is one example.

He said the book is great.

I really like this book. I have bought it four times over the past ten years. I gave my other copies of the book away to young acolytes who wanted to study Ceremonial Magick. I keep buying the book because it is so good. It is a very in-depth study book. You learn a lot about the Golden Dawn Tradition of Ceremonial Magick. It is filled with lectures, exercises, rituals, and diagrams. I feel this book is a must read for a serious student of Ceremonial Magick.

This book is super great. I’ve read the bad reviews. Those people just have no idea that things aren’t instant. You need to commit all the information to memory. If you aren’t wanting to go about that... this path truly is not for you. You have to commit the knowledge lectures to memory. You need to go about things correctly. Go join a temple... you’ll see that nothing is instant and that you will be tested on the knowledge lectures in which are taught in a spoken manner and not typed out for you. This book is a few years of training...not instant success.

Quanto ao conteúdo, é imprescindível pra quem procura desenvolver uma base sólida no sistema da Golden Dawn, é realmente uma maratona! O material eu achei um pouco frágil pra um livro de 1,7 kg, merecia uma edição em capa dura. A entrega foi muito rápida, veio em uma caixa, mas apenas com um papel pardo dobrado, o livro ficou "sambando" na caixa, talvez por isso ele tenha vindo com pequenos amassados nas pontas, e o livro veio sem o plástico, mas parece ser novo.

Lo he recibido sin problema, en tiempo y forma, buena calidad y todo excelente.

This book could be viewed as a master key to self initiation in the magickal stream of the Hermetic order of the Golden Dawn. If you have the long-term goal of getting on the ladder of spiritual alchemy and are prepared to commit to many weeks, months and even years of work without instant overnight results, you'll find it very worthwhile. It may cost more than your average book, but really it's an investment in your future and compared with online study groups and a thousand new age organizations who'll take you round in circles forever, this book is actually priceless!

Book was in great condition when it arrived. Very satisfied

The world has changed so much and the way this book describes how to grow spiritually has no place in my “now”.
