I'm excited to find out about the existence of "The Heathen Golden Dawn," by strologer/musician/gardener Isaac Hill. I've wanted such a book for decades. The Sanctuary doesn't follow a ceremonial magic track, but I thought this might be of interest here for two reasons. First, the Holy Powers associated with the system in the book are from the pre-Christian, Northern European traditions that we honor here. Secondly, the book has the blessing of author John Michael Greer who wrote the Celtic Golden Dawn and is also @danicaswanson's fellow essayist in "Polytheistic Monasticism: Voices from Pagan Cloisters." Greer served as the Archdruid in the AODA, Ancient Order of Druids in America. He was heavily influential in that organization's monastic order called the Gnostic Celtic Church Monastery. While "The Heathen Golden Dawn" doesn't purport to be monastic, I believe the threads are there for people who might want to use it as a tool in their personal practice. /part 1/2

I know some Pagans and polytheists are uncomfortable with ceremonial magic. I actually like the structured approach, but in the past, I didn't resonate with the original Judeo-Christian Golden Dawn system. I'd love to publish notes on my working through this system as @paragraph posts if people would be interested. It won't be as extensive as my personal notebook for this work, but it might spark interest now or in the future at the Sanctuary and beyond. /part 2/2
