Order of the Golden Dawn

The Order of the Golden Dawn was a late 19th-century magical society in Britain known for its focus on spiritual development, mysticism, and the occult. Founded in 1888, it combined elements of Western esotericism, Kabbalah, astrology, alchemy, and rituals. Members sought personal transformation and enlightenment through structured teachings and practices. The Order influenced modern esoteric traditions, including Wicca and contemporary magical practices. Prominent figures included poets and writers, reflecting its blend of intellectual and mystical pursuits, ultimately contributing to the resurgence of interest in occultism in the 20th century.
