When Llewellyn first published The Golden Dawn by Israel Regardie thirty years ago, about all we did was take the original four-volume set and repackage it into two volumes. I thought it was an important book then, and believe it is even more valuable now.
Today, we are proud to present the sixth edition. It has now been retypeset so it is easier to read and we have corrected errors that existed since the first edition. We have added new material by Israel Regardie and others who are practicing the Golden Dawn tradition, including notes that help to clarify some of the ideas in the book. And to make the book even easier to use, a complete index has been added.
This book is truly the fountainhead of occult wisdom in this age. Are you interested in the Tarot? Many of the major expounders of the cards, including A.E. Waite and Paul Foster Case were members of the Golden Dawn. Are you interested in Aleister Crowley? He received his basic training in the Golden Dawn. Do you like the mystic poetry of W.B. Yeats? He was a member for many years, and much of the symbolism in his poetry is explained here. The teachings of many modern Kabalists are unified in this book.
Get to know the source! Learn the original instructions for the pentagram and hexagram rituals. Discover the secrets of charging tools, their complex Tarot system, and Enochian magic. You’ll learn to do the magic that others just talk about when you study The Golden Dawn.
