Golden Dawn Spring Equinox 2025

Let us adore the Lord of the Universe.

Holy art Thou, Who art in all things, in Whom are all things.

If I climb up to Heaven, Thou art there and if I go down to Hell Thou art there also.

If I take the Wings of the Morning and flee unto the uttermost parts of the Sea, Even there shall Thy hand lead me and Thy right hand shall hold me.

If I say, Peradventure the Darkness shall cover me, even the Night shall be turned Light unto Thee!

Thine is the AIR with its Movement!

Thine is the FIRE with its Flashing Flame!

Thine is the WATER with its Ebb and Flow!

Thine is the EARTH with its enduring Stability.

Today is the day of the Equinox, observed in time or close date by those temples and magicians working in the tradition of the Golden Dawn and its system of magic. 

The Equinox is an interesting time of energy and opportunity that if one can hook-on and hold-on, can have interesting magical effects. *Things* tend to happen around the Equinox, meeting people, and having synchronicities pop up.  

Personally and magically I feel and ride a shift with the spring Equinox, a feeling of new energy and magic, the starting time of any new projects and adventures, a feeling of Isis, as the current rises leading to Corpus Christi Day in June and the Summer Solstice. 

A feeling of getting stuff done.

An Isis current, coming off of the Osiris current.

Formally there tends to be a focus on the password and of course the changing of the officers, informally, at least in my experience, a tradition and feeling of hanging out afterwards at a party. Kind of like a big birthday party for the order. 

Naturally there is something deeper, with some interesting flashes within the Equinox ritual, one of them being the aim of the Golden Dawn and what is possible within its system of magic.

I clothe you with the Robe of a Hierophant. Bear it unspotted, my brother, during the period of your office. Keep clean your heart beneath it, so shall it sanctify your flesh and prepare you for that great Day when you, who are now clothed by the Power of the Order, shall be unclothed from the body of your death. I invest you also with the Lamen of your Office; may the virtue which it typifies without, be present efficaciously within you, and after the term of your present dignity, may such virtue still maintain you in your search after the White Stone on which a New Name is written which no man knoweth save he who receiveth it. 

Those that can will.

Those that can not will not.
