THE OATH
The contents of this booklet are based on my study of the old texts concerning the
legendary magickal order of the Golden Dawn. L et us begin with the following
exercise. (A) Sit, eyes closed. Breathe in slowly, hold, breathe out slowly. Continue
doing this for one minute. (B) Now, for a few moments, think of something funny
or something which makes you happy. (C) Open your eyes and think of the things
that you most want. Do this for a moment, but then make as if you are going to
speak your wish(es), but dont. (D) Close your eyes and think of your faith in
magick to make your wishes come true.
You are now ready to take the Oath of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
Reading from here, say:
I further promise and swear that with the divine permission, I (state
full name) will from this day forward apply myself to the Great Work,
which is to purify and exalt my spiritual nature so that with the
divine aid I may at length attain to be more than human, and thus
gradually raise and unite myself to the higher and divine genius and
that in this event I will not abuse this power entrusted to me. Amen.
Now close your eyes and imagine the things you want to come true: feel, smell
and taste them. Now say: Peace to all good above all, so as I will, so shall it be.
Amen.

2. THE RITUAL OF ELEMENTAL BALANCE
This was performed by members of the Golden Dawn to increase their magickal
power. You are now about to increase your own power. The following eight acts
should be done twice, and performed three times a day.
1. Stand facing east. I magine a shining white light from above entering your head.
2. Now, reach up with a right finger pretending you are touching this light that
is entering your head. With your finger you draw this light to your forehead.
3. Now imagine it as a yellow triangle of air covering the upper part of your body.
Now speak slowly and loudly: SHAM-DY E-EL-CHAF.
4. Now see a black triangle of soil (representing the earth) covering the lower part
of your body. Point your hand downwards, speaking slowly and loudly. AH-
DOH-NY E-HA-AH-RETZ.
5. See a red triangle of fire over the right side of your body, touch your right
shoulder and say slowly and loudly: Y ODE-HE-VAV-HEY -TZAH-BAH-OTH.
6. Next imagine a blue triangle of water, covering your left shoulder. Speak slowly
and loudly. EL -OH-HEEM-TZAH-BAH-OTH.
7. I nterlocking fingers, hand bending outwards imagine a wheel of bright light
in the centre of your body, uniting all triangles.
8. See the light at the crown of your head connecting to the inner worlds and
speak slowly the word ETH.
Perform this ritual for two weeks. On the third week perform the following four
times every morning:
(A) I nhale. I magine the fire triangle.
(B) Hold. I magine the water triangle.
(C) Exhale. I magine the air triangle.
(D) Empty, hold. I magine the earth triangle.
At the end of three weeks you will feel an incredible sense of equilibrium and
an awakening of your psychic powers. An immediate effect for me was the sensing
of the presence of my late father. I could smell his scent everywhere. This gave me
a great sense of comfort.
3. THE PRAYER TO THE GREAT GOD OF HEAVEN
I have simplified this lengthy and complex Golden Dawn ritual. Here is its
essence.
4
1. For 24 hours avoid cardinal activity; avoiding alcohol and loud music.
2. The following day, before the ritual, for one hour build up within yourself an
excited desire for what you most wish for.
3. Light a white candle, place it on the floor and sit before it. Alternatively, place
it on a table and sit on a chair. I f it is not practicable to light a candle then
imagine the candle.
4. Clasp your hands together, and call out the magick name repeatedly for about
two minutes. I t is: TAPH-THARA-THARATH.
5. Close your eyes and for about five minutes contemplate on the fact that you
have called upon a great mighty spirit of the Holy Order of the Golden Dawn.
6. Eyes opened, raise your arms in a worshipping position and recite three times:
Oh, ye great Lords of the Hall of the Two-Fold Manifestation of
Truth, who preside over the weighing of souls in the Place of judge
ment before Aeshoari, give me thy hands for I am made of thee. Give
me thy hands, give me all thy magick powers, that I may have given
unto me the force and the power and the might irresistible, which
shall compel this disobedient spirit TAPH-THARA-THARATH to
appear before me now. Now I call thee: TAPH-THARA-THARATH!
TAPH-THARA-THARATH! TAPH-THARA-THARATH! I call
and command you to appear before me now, so that I may accomplish
the desires and wants in me now, to manifest into my reality. In
myself I am nothing: in ye I am all self and exist in the self-hood of
the mighty eternity! Oh Thoth, Oh Osiris, Oh A turn, Oh Ra, Oh
J esus, in the holy power of God I command you, TAPH-THARA-
THARATH! Make your presence known to me right now and I shall
glorify thy name forever more, and grant me what I ask!
7. Close your eyes and dwell on the might of your words. Think of the power
you have generated.
8. For about ten minutes recite your wish(es), believing that they will become
fact. Tell Taphtharatharath what you want. You may sense his presence. In the
event of a physical manifestation of the spirit, fear not. He is under your command.
9. Now say, Thank you for making my wish/wishes come true. Fare thee well,
oh great spirit.
10. Look at the candle and believe that its flame is also bringing your wish to
fruition. Allow the candle to burn itself out. DO NOT ALLOW I T TO BURN
I F THERE IS A FIRE HAZARD. I f in doubt, dont burn a candle at all,
content yourself with imagining one.
Repeat this ritual every seven days until such time as your wish is granted.
To be a successful occultist you must have total faith in the outcome. You must
not tell anyone what you are doing. This is a lonely path - it is no-one elses
business - but you will walk with the gods.
A word about evil spirits. My mother was being tormented by a demon, who
terrorized her in her dreams. My research into medieval manuscripts revealed that
the way to deal with such an entity is to shout at it and threaten it. Tell it: I will
destroy you, or I have the power to send you to hell, if you do not depart. I did
this every day for ten minutes, and my mother was at peace again. I f a spirit seems
not mischievous you could make friends with it and speak kind words. I t could
help you in your psychic work.
4. SPELLS OF THE GOLDEN DAWN
The following is for the evocation of psychic power. Perform at one oclock in the
morning of a Monday, that is an hour after midnight Sunday. With black ink draw
on a plain piece of paper or card the magickal box of the moon. On the reverse,
draw the planetary seal of the moon. Now, for a few minutes, contemplate having
psychic powers: imagine you can see into the future, that you can travel on the
astral and communicate with spirits, and all the other gifts of psychic power.
Holding the paper in front of you, believe in the power it can give. Now make this
evocation:
I call and command forward the powers of the Moon, in the names
of Yesod and Malkuth and by the sacred name of Gabriel, ruler of
the Moon, I invoke thee. I call and command the powers of the Moon
to flood into my life forever. I summon the powers and virtues of
the Moon on this night and at this hour to be present and willing to
serve unto me and bring me the power to lift my spirit out of my
body and travel anywhere in my dreams as I sleep, to see and hear
everything wherever I may go. So mote it be.
Close your eyes for a moment, then open and chant the magickal name RANA
for five minutes looking at your paper, whilst believing totally that your wish will
be granted.

The next one is called A Sex Slave Spell for Men and is, not unnaturally,
dedicated to Mars. Draw the planets square and seal on each side of a plain card

Finally, a spell to protect you from evil. Inscribe the magickal square of the sun

of Tiphareth and by the sacred name of Michael and the archangel
Raphael who rules the Sun. I invoke thee, I command that the

me everywhere I go and in everything I do. So mote it be.
Needless to say, this spell should be performed on a Sunday at either eight
o-clock in the morning or at one in the afternoon. Close your eyes for a moment,
then open and look at the square and seal and for five minutes, chant BERON if
in the morning or THAMUR if in the afternoon.
Repeat every Sunday until you feel it is working, and when it does give a short
prayer of thanks, in your own words, to the sun.

THE GOLDEN DAWN
by J oel Goldstein
As one would expect of a secret society, details are hard to come by. This is a rough
sketch.
The Hermetical Order of the Golden Dawn was founded by Dr. W. W. Westcott
in 1888. A year later his position was usurped by S. L. Mathers, after Mathers
wife was approached by three Masters in a Paris park. Mathers had spent years in
libraries in Paris and London studying medieval J ewish texts. He published a
translation of The Key of Solomon in 1889 which remained archaic to most readers
until modernised a century later by Carl Nagel with Finbarrs publication of The
Black Seals of Solomon and The Bible Secrets of Moses and Solomon. I t was a chemist
named Cecil J ones who introduced Aleister Crowley to Mathers and the Golden
Dawn. J ones described the Golden Dawn as nothing more than a gentlemans
club which was a neat piece of subterfuge. Mathers was supposed to have received
secret knowledge from an unknown Master, whom some speculate to be no other
than the ageless Count Saint-Germain.
Germany was the source of much of the Orders thinking, but it claimed
inspiration from the secret Masters of Tibet who governed mankinds affairs. The
belief in such mysterious Masters was at the heart of the Theosophical Society
founded by Helena Blavatsky. The Golden Dawn graded its members according
to an hierarchy of degrees. There were also Orders within the Order, the lower
studying but not practising magick; the higher were practi tioners, whilst the elite
were in direct contact with the Masters. The Order flourished and at one point
claimed a hundred or more members.
Mathers was a good organizer but tyrannical. Possessed by Mars, according to
Crowley, he sought to run the Order in a military fashion. Crowley, another
difficult man, was much influenced by Mathers, and was like him in various ways.
Both men were fixated with titles, honours, and other superficial trappings. Both
sought to impress and made outrageous claims to bolster their authority over the
impressionable. Golden Dawn member, the poet W. B. Keats, considered Mathers
half lunatic, half knave.
Despite the pomposities, the Second Order met in modest rented rooms near
Euston station and in Hammersmith; also at another London location in Great
Queen Street. Crowley regarded most of the members as non-entities. We have
details of his initiation.
The high priest stands before the altar, between two pillars and addresses
the hushed membership. Crowley is robed, hooded and bound by a triple cord. A
voice cries out, Child of Earth! Come and enter the Path of Darkness! A second
voice disputes, barring the way of the initiate, Child of Earth! Unclean and
unconsecrated! Thou cannot enter our Sacred Hall.5 Water and fire are
12
administered. The high priest: Child, wherefore had thou come to request
admission to this order? A voice answers on his behalf: My soul is wandering,
seeking the light of occult truth, and I believe that in this Order truth may be
obtained.
Are you willing, before this assembly, to take a great and solemn oath to keep
the secrets of the Order? asked the high priest. I am, replies the neophyte who
then kneels and places his hand on a white triangle. He bows his head and is
touched by a sceptre. Then, repeating the high priests words, he swears the
solemn oath. Child of darkness! called the high priest, Long have thou lived in
ignorance. Quit the darkness and enter the light. The hood over Crowleys head
was then removed and he arose with the light of understanding already starting
to shine in his eyes. He acquires a magickal name. Thereafter he passed through
the Orders various grades which corresponded to the Sephiroth of the Caballistic
Tree of Life, eventually reaching Philosophus, one of the highest grades (though
there were grades yet higher).
A fusion of J ewish mystic thought, Babylonian astrology, Pythagorean
numerology and Egyptian mythology seemed to form the bedrock of Golden
Dawn ritual. As for it being a gentlemans club, it had numerous women
members. I t seemed to be a magnet for eccentrics, and, notwithstanding its rituals
for power and wealth, seemed to remain poor. Does this mean the rituals did not
work? Research suggests they did, but no amount of ritual could save these people
from themselves. Crowley, for example, who wielded the power of life and death
and who could summon any number of spirits for wealth, was forever on the brink
of insolvency.
Not surprisingly, the Order of the Golden Dawn, plagued by in-fighting, did
not last many years. An example: Alan Bennett and Mathers quarrelled over Shiva
the Destroyer, a Hindu divinity worshipped by Bennett. Bennett claimed that if
Shivas name was repeated enough, the god would open his shut eye and destroy
the universe. Mathers scoffed at this, the notion that the universe depended on
Shiva keeping his eye shut. Bennett was adamant, so adopted a yogic posture
and began chanting the gods name incessantly. Mathers flew into a rage and
demanded he stop. Shiva, Shiva, Shiva ... he went on. Then Mathers produced
a revolver, but it made no difference. The destruction of Bennetts universe was
narrowly avoided by the timely intervention of Mathers wife.
Cosmic Power Attack Rituals
by Larry Hool
The following rituals are only for use against anyone who is trying to make your
life a misery. They should not be used against anyone you are merely in conflict
with. I f you are genuinely the victim of someones unwarranted malicious intent,
then you are entitled to psychically attack that person.
First, perform the opening Cosmic Power (CP) ritual as follows. See a white
light over your head. Slowly breathe in, imagining the light entering your body
through the crown of your head and leaving through your feet as you breathe out.
Now speak the following:
I call upon the inner planes to listen and assist me in my venture.
Please, Anzel, Nitika and Opiel come to me. Thou, all gods, come to
my assistance! So mote it be.
I f possible, light a black candle which should be left to burn. I f there is a fire
risk then you should not use a candle. Now speak firmly the following:
Seek out my enemy, KAY-VAY-KEY and MAIN-DEE-AL, no
matter where he (she) may be. Go to the ends of the earth if need be!
Scourge him with the rods of vengeance, overcome his mind. I
command this of thee in the authority of the words of power: KESS-
SEA-HEH. So mote it be.
The following is particularly effective against one of the opposite sex who is
bearing lies and slander against you. Do the opening CP ritual, light a black candle
(if possible; if there is a fire risk, dont) and speak firmly:
By the power invested in me, I command thee AH-KNEE-ELL and
KAH-AH-ME-AH to close the mouth and eyes of (here state persons
name), who maligns me. Visit him (her) when he sleeps and plant
fright and dread so that he no longer maligns me. Obey me with the
word of power: GAY-BOO-RAH-VAHV. So mote it be.
The following is particularly effective for dealing with someone who is unjustly
harassing you. Begin with the opening CP ritual and then speak three times the
following:
Thou, SAY-EAT-ELL and OLE-ME AH, lie in wait for my
enemies. Send fire and force into their minds when they next harass
me. I seal this command with the word of power: TEE-FAR-ATE-
YOD. So mote it be.
14
THE ATTACK CANCELLATI ON RI TUAL
Once you fed your enemy is totaily helpless and conquered, you will eventually
need to cancel your attack.
To withdraw the devastating effects of your cosmic power, carry out the opening
CP ritual and then say:
These forces whom I command withdraw from the scene of battle.
Stay with me and hear my future calls. I command thee with the
word of power: Neat-sank-heh. So mote it be.
Your enemy will at once be released from the effects of your ritual, but you can,
at any time, turn it back onto your enemy if you find he/she has not had enough,
or when the person is trying to make your life a misery again. J ust carry out the
appropriate ritual and he/she is back in your power again.
Y OU ARE NOW WELL, EQUI PPED TO OVERCOME
Y OUR ENEMI ES
No matter what your enemies are trying to do to you, they can be kept at bay and
be totally defeated by the force of your CP
The rituals and incantations in this chapter focus your CP and attack the minds
of your foes at inner levels.
You can now choose your spell and find almost immediate peace and harmony,
free from hassles, and do so easily and automatically.
You know how to manipulate your cosmic power. Why or how it works is
unimportant. You are looking for concrete results, not reasons.
I t is my desire that you find everything you seek, as I and hundreds of other
people all over the world, who have learned the simple secrets of cosmic power,
have done. I f anything threatens the perfection of your existence, perform the spell
that will banish it. I f you find a gap in your material or emotional life, let your
cosmic power fill it, quickly and easily.
