Irregardless of Word's blithering above, the Golden Dawn as a organization, organized in a manner similar to the Freemasons, which promoted a particular kind combination of Hermetic magic, Qabalah, and various other spiritual disciplines or ideas. It self-destructed in the early 20th century and certain individuals have been fighting over the pieces ever since. The Golden Dawn's great gift to us all was that they compiled a complex and workable system for doing magic and for spiritual advancement. This has been, for the most part, published. Look for _The Golden Dawn_ by Israel Regardie which contains most of the available order material.
