Welcome
"Be thy Mind opened unto the Higher, Be thy Heart a Centre of Light, Be thy Body a Temple of the Rose Cross."
"This order's mentor and guiding light was the late Dr. Israel Regardie. The modern-day Order does not claim institutional lineage to the original H.O.G.D. but it does claim initiatory lineage to the original order through Israel Regardie." – Chic and Tabatha Cicero
The Canadian arm of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn® (H.O.G.D.) has not presented itself on the web before and with the internet now playing such a major role in connecting together like-minded people or as a tool for research, we believe it is time to shine the Light a little further to those seeking guidance on the path and living in Canada, though we welcome visitors from all over the globe as well.
However you see yourself – as an absolute beginner, an aspiring student or an adept in your own particular field – we hope you will find something here that helps you on your progressive journey towards the Light. We plan to build this site into a source of valuable information and inspiration, contributed by both adepts and students alike who are willing to share their knowledge, insight and experience with the wider community between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Here you will find an increasing number of interesting and sometimes previously unpublished manuscripts, papers and articles, plus published material by noted and well-respected authors in the field of magic. Some of the content of this site will also be available in French through our brotherhood located in this country.
The recommended links and reading material sections only represent a small selection of the available wealth to be found but they are constantly being extended. If you feel able to contribute, we welcome new submissions that are in keeping with the Hermetic Tradition.
If, after reading about the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn® in Canada and perhaps some of the related papers, you find your heart and mind in harmony with our order, we would like to hear from you.
Thank you for visiting us – we wish you well on your journey!
H.O.G.D. Canada, Vernal Equinox 2011
