Golden-Dawn-Group The Golden Dawn system as it is known today is very different then the Golden Dawn 117 years ago. With all of the Golden Dawn material published and various offshoots from the original Order the system has grown in ways which cannot be ignored by those aspirants seriously dedicating themselves to the system. This Golden Dawn group has been created to unite all Golden Dawn practitionners around the world in the spirit of open-minded communication and Fraternal bond. All members of this forum, Neophytes as well as Adepti of all GD groups are welcome to share their views. Please respect one another in all matters of discussion. Let us maintain a high standard of Brotherly love and may the teachings of all groups merge that all may benefit from the work we each perform as individual Temples and Orders.
