Since writing this blog yours truly is no longer affiliated with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Outer Order of the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha Omega ® (H.O.G.D./A+O ®). This is the reason why the Third Order stepped in once more to save the Golden Dawn tradition from reconstrutionist tampering and even more so from the clutches of Trinitarian Christian domination, such as in the example quoted above which has a smack of Religious Fundamentalism. It is still here amongst us, working behind the scenes to guide all of the temporal traditions that it has created so that these may retain their relative state of authenticity and thus not deviate to far from Tradition.

During this internet witch hunt we have in the first round seen the reconstructionist mob using fear mongering tactics and we have also seen them attacking our history how we precieve it, as well as our Secret Chiefs and initiatory system. During the past month we have seen reconstructionist bloggers attacking the integrity of our Order and our right to defend its honour. Many of you who are following the Golden Dawn ’ s Flying Circus show are well aware that there is an all-out witch hunt raging against the brethren and sisters of the Rosicrucian Order of Alpha et Omega®, which has especially been intensified when we reacted strongly and passionately against Nick Farrell ’ s latest published attack on the Alpha et Omega (past and present) disguised as a scholarly work on history.
