Magicians of the Golden Dawn by Ellic Howe
£125.00
Antiquarian / Second Hand
Published: Routledge & Kegan Paul, London 1972
Condition: Very good. Dust jacket unclipped. Binding firm, pages clean and unmarked.
The 'Golden Dawn' story, with its cast of eccentric characters and its saga of faked documents, mythical 'Rosicrucian' adepts, 'Secret Chiefs' and bitter internecine quarrels, will delight amateurs of the unusual and fantastic. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, whose heyday was during the 1890s, has an almost legendary reputation. Those interested in Ritual Magic and occultism suppose that it represents a particularly authoritative source of authority and knowledge. A wider public has been intrigued by W. B.
Yeats' lengthy connection with the Order, also by the membership of his friends Annie Horniman and Florence Farr. Miss Horniman later built the famous Abbey Theatre at Dublin for him, while Florence Farr was G. B. Shaw's mistress during her Golden Dawn period.
Ellic Howe is neither a 'Magician' nor an occultist but an historian of 'underground' movements. The Magicians of the Golden Dawn is based upon hitherto inaccessible contemporary letters and other papers. It is, too, the first detailed study of this curious Order's tangled and incredible history.
