Term: hermetic order of the golden dawn

DEFINITIONS

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn: Full name of the magical order commonly called the Golden Dawn.

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn: The recent legal conflict has been resolved and we are pleased with the outcome. Our organization, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Inc., a Florida non-profit corporation (also known as H.O.G.D.) is the sole and exclusive owner of United States Trademark Registration No. 2, 034,866 for our mark THE HERMETIC ORDER OF THE GOLDEN DAWN & Design.

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn: A secret society organized in the late 1880’s, often referred to simply as The Golden Dawn or the G.D. It was able to synthesize several forms of magick and occult philosophy into a coherent but complex whole. Most books on magick written in the 20th and 21st centuries have been written by people who were members of that Order, or who were directly or indirectly influenced by that organization.
