The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn – Magic, Mystery, and the Occult Revival

In this episode, we explore the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society founded in 1888 that became one of the most influential forces in modern Western occultism. Blending Hermeticism, alchemy, Kabbalah, and ritual magic, the Golden Dawn offered a structured path to spiritual development and esoteric knowledge. Its members included notable figures like W.B. Yeats and Aleister Crowley, and though internal conflicts eventually fractured the group, its magical system lived on. The Golden Dawn’s legacy continues to shape modern spiritual practices, from tarot and astrology to ceremonial magic and personal transformation.
