Dr Angela Puca engages in a dialogue with the practitioner Marcus Mattern, to offer an in-depth exploration of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a seminal organisation in the history of Western esotericism. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, established in the late 19th century, stands as a pivotal institution in the development of modern Western magical practices. It emerged as a unique confluence of various esoteric traditions, including Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Theosophy, Kabbalah, and Hermeticism. These traditions heavily influenced the Order's structure and teachings, and it played a crucial role in reviving and synthesising ancient and medieval esoteric knowledge. In this episode, Dr Puca and Marcus Mattern will delve into the foundational aspects of the Golden Dawn, examining its historical emergence, key figures, and the diverse influences that shaped its practices. The discussion will likely cover the Order's intricate system of grades, its ritualistic framework, and the symbolic language that underpins its teachings. Furthermore, the conversation will extend to the impact of the Golden Dawn on contemporary esoteric and magical practices. This includes its influence on later movements and figures within the 20th-century occult landscape, such as Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune, and its ongoing relevance in modern Pagan and magical communities. ABOUT OUR GUEST Marcus Mattern has been building the occult community for years with his course on the Sacred Science of Magick, monthly Archangel Sigils, Spiritual Alchemy, and lessons on hermetic philosophy. Marcus runs one of the most engaged and supportive groups of practitioners on Facebook, with over ten thousand magicians and weekly ritual meetings.
