In addition the Temple of Ptah serving the Mid-West also had a large turn out for new Initiates. This may be the fastest growing Golden Dawn Temple in the World.
It is of great interest to note that ASTRAL INITIATIONS were conducted by the GOLDEN DAWN under the direction of Mathers and are still going on to day in the Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn. Our Order has always been aware of how important the astral plane is and how it functions. We understand the Emerald Tablet of Hermes which states: "As Above, so Below." Sadly, some who claim to practice the Golden Dawn tradition seem to have a serious problem with the whole concept of astral initiations.
It is very simple, if long distance healing works, and it does, if long distance magic works, and it does, then so does astral initiation. It works and many people will testify to it.
We do not deny the importance of physical initiation if possible or when possible. Our Order provides FREE physical initiations anytime for someone who has already earned the grade. We think the beauty and drama of these initiation are very important. This is why every ASTRAL INITIATION is also performed physically in the Hall of the Neophyte with a full set of Officers.
congratulations to all the new members of the Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn. You have taken the first step. For those of you who have not taken the first step, but have an interest, you can find out more at: www. ESOTERICGOLDENDAWN.COM
