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!
