Dr Angela Puca engages in a dialogue with the practitioner Marcus
Mattern, to offer an in-depth exploration of the Hermetic Order of the
Golden Dawn, a seminal organisation in the history of Western
esotericism.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, established in the late 19th
century, stands as a pivotal institution in the development of modern
Western magical practices. It emerged as a unique confluence of various
esoteric traditions, including Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Theosophy,
Kabbalah, and Hermeticism. These traditions heavily influenced the
Order's structure and teachings, and it played a crucial role in
reviving and synthesising ancient and medieval esoteric knowledge.

In this episode, Dr Puca and Marcus Mattern will delve into the
foundational aspects of the Golden Dawn, examining its historical
emergence, key figures, and the diverse influences that shaped its
practices. The discussion will likely cover the Order's intricate system
of grades, its ritualistic framework, and the symbolic language that
underpins its teachings.

Furthermore, the conversation will extend to the impact of the Golden
Dawn on contemporary esoteric and magical practices. This includes its
influence on later movements and figures within the 20th-century occult
landscape, such as Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune, and its ongoing
relevance in modern Pagan and magical communities.
