Our Temples, Sanctuaries and Study Groups

The Order of the Golden Dawn has Temples and Sanctuaries in a variety of locations, and we are expanding and adding new locations as well! Our Sanctuaries provide a gathering for group ritual work and study, but they are not yet authorized to perform initiations.  Our Temples have fully qualified and trained officers and are able to perform initiations for all members.

The Order of the Golden Dawn is an authentic initiatory mystery school. We offer instruction and teachings in the traditional Golden Dawn course of study. Our Temples and Sanctuaries meet according to the charters given by the Inner, or Second Order Collegium, pursuant to the Constitution of the Order. The basis of our rituals come from some of the oldest sources of original Golden Dawn material, and the core of our tradition follows the original Golden Dawn curriculum. This is not to say that we have gone back solely to older initiation rituals, methods and curriculum’s and ignored later improvements. Indeed, we have used the knowledge and wisdom of those who have come before us, and made adjustments and modifications to these original rituals and curriculum’s, as have many Orders. Nevertheless, our Outer Order (the Golden Dawn) maintains the majority of traditional teachings, and Inner Order content is kept where it originally was intended by the founders of the original Golden Dawn.

Sanctuary of Ra-Horakhty-Amentet

The Sanctuary of Ra-Horakhty-Amentet is a Sanctuary formed to support and assist those who may wish to follow the path of Self-Initiation. One of our Order’s founders followed the path of self-initiation, until having the opportunity of being initiated into the grades in a Temple setting. With the loss of the Sanctuary of Ma’at, which existed for quite a few years to assist self-initiates, there has been a gap in the support for those who cannot make the long-distance travel to their closest temple for initiations.
