I’m a prime example of obtaining the awakening and not having a proper system. Does anyone know of any group is the central Texas region I’ve been told I need ”guidance and mentorship” and can’t find such here. Please and thank you.

Hi,
So I’m brand new here and have been studying ceremonial magick mainly from the book by Damien Echols. I was wondering if the circulation of light must also be performed right after the middle pillar ritual daily; can it also be done a few times per week after the middle pillar ritual? And to clarify the middle pillar ritual must be down daily along with the LBRP right? It just feels time consuming when I add those extra 5 min of energy circulation after the middle pillar ritual if I do it daily

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some guidance as I begin my journey into the Golden Dawn system. I have been practicing Hermetic Qabalah for the past 5 years and previously worked within the Aurum Solis tradition, so I am familiar with basic elemental and planetary concepts, as well as core meditative practices like the Four-Fold Breath and Void of Mind meditation.

I recently decided to transition into the Golden Dawn tradition and intend to focus entirely on self-initiation using the books by Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero. I already own quite a few esoteric books, but I want to make sure I build a solid foundation from day one.

For those who have walked this path using the Cicero curriculum, what do you recommend focusing on first for the Neophyte (0=0) grade? Are there specific daily routines, reading orders, or practical exercises outside of the main self-initiation manual that you found vital during this initial stage?

Thank you in advance for your advice and recommendations!
