Term: G.B.G.

DEFINITIONS

G.B.G.:

(More accurately, each letter has a triangle formed by three dots after it, as in G∴B∴G∴This usage derives from the very old Masonic connections of the early Occult orders. It always signifies something “holy” or that an esoteric meaning is involved.)

Great Brotherhood of God. An occult order whose objective existence dates from 1931 to 1938 inclusive. Its founder, C. F. Russell (Frater Genesthai), had been a student of Aleister Crowley. Crowley gave Russell permission to found his own Order based on Crowley’s famous Book of the Law, the concept of doing your Will, and the idea that we were now in the age of Horus. In practice, the Order taught such things as dream recall, Tarot, Qabalah, the “Calypso Moon Language,” and three degrees of sex magick. It was not until 1969—more than thirty years after the Order closed—that one of its members, Louis T. Culling, published a brief version of its teachings and rituals.
