In The Irregulars episode, Bea realises that the murders aren’t about who gets to be the Chapter’s next Magus; they’re to do with her sister Jessie, who is an Ipsissimus (defined in the TV show as somebody with the highest level of psychic powers). From the Greek, the word roughly translates as ‘the most self’, or ‘highest/most intense self’.

By 1908, Mathers and Brodie-Innes were in complete accord. [26] According to sources that differ regarding the actual date, sometime between 1901 and 1913 Mathers renamed the branch of the Golden Dawn remaining loyal to his leadership to Alpha et Omega. [27] [28] [29] [d] Brodie-Innes assumed command of the English and Scottish temples, while Mathers concentrated on building up his Ahathoor temple and extending his American connections. [28] According to occultist Israel Regardie, the Golden Dawn had spread to the United States of America before 1900 and a Thoth-Hermes temple had been founded in Chicago. [26] [28] By the beginning of the First World War in 1914, Mathers had established two to three American temples. The authors stress experimentation with the tarot, which is a mark of a vibrant magical system and the descriptions of each tarot card are very reliable and very complete.

Kaczynski, Richard (2010). Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley (1sted.). Berkeley, California: North Atlantic Books.Before you stands the Tree of Life formed of the Sephiroth and their connecting paths… Upon each Sephira are written in Hebrew letters its Name, the Divine Name ruling it, and those of the Angels and Archangels attributed thereto. The divine life is expressed in ten steps or levels, which both conceal and reveal Him. It flows out and animates Creation; but at the same time it remains deep inside. The secret rhythm of its movement and pulse beat is the law of motion of all Creation. As the divine life reveals itself — that is, becomes manifest through its actions on the various level of divine emanation — it assumes a different shape on each level or, speaking theologically, appears in different attributes.

Another tendency that grew alongside this subterranean culture of Anglican occultism was the Anglican turn towards deliverance ministry. Fr Gilbert Shaw and Dom Robert Petitpierre OSB led the Church of England in recovering older forms of exorcism based closely on Roman models. According to Wang, the purpose of the Tarot is to teach - teach about the nature of the universe, and about man's relationship to the universe. Wang also sees the Tarot as illustrating the energies of the mystical system of Qabalah. The use of the Tarot for divination is seen as a means to provide an introduction to the visual patterns and subtle energies of the Tarot. In this respect, the true worth of the cards comes from repetitive usage, which helps to stimulate the unconscious and help develop psychic powers.While no temples in the original chartered lineage of the Golden Dawn survived past the 1970s, [30] [29] several organizations have since revived its teachings and rituals. Among these, the following are notable: Perhaps the most famous (and most overtly Anglo-Catholic) example of Carlyle’s occultism occurred in 1910. The Abbot and his monks received the relics of Richard Whyting, the last Abbot of Glastonbury, who had been martyred in the Reformation. Amid rich liturgical furnishings and a special Latin office and mass, the relics were translated to the chapel at Caldey. Hine, Phil (February 19, 2021). "Jottings: Edith Nesbit and the Golden Dawn".

One spread is given in the LWB (Little White Book) for use by the reader, and it is simply termed the "Fifteen Card method of Tarot Divination". The spread was specifically developed so that the meanings of the cards could be determined from their relationship to neighboring cards (Elemental Dignities), rather than using reversals. The spread is set out in groups of three, and is not difficult to lay down, or to interpret. The Fool. Idea, thought, spirituality, that which endeavors to rise above the material. (If the subject which is enquired about be spiritual.) If the Divination refers to a material event of ordinary life, this card is not good, and shows folly, stupidity, eccentricity, and even mania, unless offset by very good cards. It is too ideal and unstable to be generally good in material things." Raine, Kathleen (1976) [1972]. Miller, Liam (ed.). Yeats, the Tarot and the Golden Dawn. New Yeats Papers. Vol.II (2nded.).

ISBN 0-8248-1487-8.The work of Ficino and Mirandola was eventually synthesized into a body of esoteric thought published by Cornelius Agrippa in his encyclopedic De Occulta Philosophia in 1533 (Yates 130-131). As Hanegraaff states, this was an immense compendium of astrological and magical lore (393). Yates describes Agrippa’s work as a “clear survey of the whole field of Renaissance magic” and it became a standard reference work on such throughout the Renaissance and afterwards (130). The eventual result was a system of magical practice in the Renaissance and beyond that was rooted in Jewish Cabala but also borrowed heavily from both Classical Neoplatonic and Christian traditions of esoteric thought. Both Westcott and Mathers show themselves in their writings to be familiar with Agrippa as well as Pseudo-Dionysius (see Regardie, The Golden Dawn 611-613 and Westcott, “Angels” in The Magical Mason 125).

The suits (Wands, Pentacles, Swords, and Cups) correspond to their own unique areas of life and astrological elements. Wands symbolize passion and inspiration (corresponding with the fire element), Pentacles represent money and physical realities (corresponding with the earth element), Swords depict intellectual intrigues (corresponding with the air element), and Cups illustrate emotional matters (corresponding with the water element). These suits reveal which spheres of influence are being activated, offering guidance on how to best manage any circumstances at hand. How can I get started reading the cards? This explanation is immediately followed in the knowledge lecture by a table giving the Tree of Life symbolism, including the Divine Name, Archangelic Name, and Choir of Angels for each sephira of the Tree of Life in English and Hebrew for the memorization of the Zelator grade initiate (Regardie, The Golden Dawn 64). So were some of his brothers at Mirfield. In fact, Rees, and a fellow monk of Mirfield, Fr Charles Fitzgerald CR, helped to found a Golden Dawn temple in New Zealand while on mission there in the 1910s. The chapter that they started eventually came to include several Anglican bishops from that country. Such Anglo-Catholic lay luminaries as Evelyn Underhill, Arthur Machen, and Charles Williams all dabbled in the Golden Dawn’s initiatory “mysticism”, forming their own ideas on the relationship between hermeticism and Christianity in conversation with their mutual friend A. E. Waite (1857-1942). Waite, although not personally faithful, maintained a healthy respect for ritual forms of Christianity — especially the Latin mass.
