Who are the Watchers of the Dawn?

We keep getting requests asking who we are and what our intentions are. This blog started after a “tired and emotional” conversation after a particularly successful party in Oxford. Some of us had been on the British Occult scene for the last three decades and knew lots of stories about people getting shafted by their occult leaders. Part of the reason they have been able to get away with it is that there is a conspiracy of silence which exists between some of these leaders and their victims. It is not considered “done” for such antics to be made public, but there was no good watchdog for the occult scene.   Politicians are forced by the press to keep their noses more or less clean, but there is no press for the magical setting. If you look at online magazines, they all report teaching or advertising a group leader’s meetings or books. There is extraordinarily little wider questioning of their dodgier moves. As a result, they keep repeating the same actions and damaging the same types

Living God has internet meltdown

A video of unemployed carpet cleaner E A [Living God] Koetting is circulating on the worldwide wibble in which he seems rather “tired and emotional.”  The video, which has found its way into the paws of Watcher of the Dawn, appears to have been released after some of his minions dared to question his divinity. Koetting is shutting down an online group to stop them from debating if he was the Living God he claimed.  As can be seen, he releases a stream of invective, claiming that he was the all-powerful one, but mere mortals were ruining his Divine Plan.  He demanded his followers should “bow down before me" or they “simply will not exist.” Koetting said: “There is only one mother fucker alive who can do what I can do, and you refuse to recognise that because you have got this ego.” He denies that he is speaking out of ego but because “he is cursed”. He is the only “motherfucker” who can see past the pettiness and hurt because people are not getting his ideas.  Koetting told his fo

“Scottish Witch” backtracks on bird mass murder claim

Another minion of the unemployed carpet cleaner E A [living god] Koetting has been caught making bizarre claims about her magical prowess to genocide birds. “Living Goddess” Zeraphina Angelus stunned the interwebs with photographic proof that her defensive magic had caused massive bird deaths.  Surprisingly, no one took her word for it, and one Facebook user searched the picture and discovered the photograph had been taken in Mexico in February 2022 . When questioned about what we in the trade call a “porkie pie”, Angelus said that the photo had been used for “illustrative purposes” and went on the attack against the person who called her out, calling her a “Karen.” “The post is an expression of an opinion or insight on magick…shared with followers who talk about magick…on a page about magick. It’s created for the purpose of discussion, not directed at anyone as a ‘secret message,” Angelus said. “If I had taken the picture of the dead birds, that would mean I’m seeing the dead

Jean-Pascal Ruggiu quits the Golden Dawn because of the Jews

Once a key player in the Golden Dawn wars, Jean Pascal Ruggiu has announced that he finds Golden Dawn syncretism dodgy and particularly does not like the Jewish approach. The former National Front political candidate was once the "Imperator" of the Ahathoor Temple of the Golden Dawn in Paris. Closely aligned to David Griffin, examples of Ahathoor rituals can be found on YouTube . When it had been known that Ruggiu had quit Griffin’s order, there were rumours put about by a Griffin supporter, Robert Word, that Pascal was dead, Ruggiu appeared back on Facebook as chatty as ever.  Last week, he said that he wanted to tell Facebook that while he had been known as Ahathoor ex-Imperator for a while, he no longer followed the GD tradition. “I consider this syncretism between Judeo-Christian traditions and Egyptian neo-paganism is totally incompatible. Syncretism can only bring about conflicts in terms of egregors between two religions which were staunch enemies,” Ruggiu said. He bel

Chicosky obsessed with Leitch

Rising numpty and purveyor of magical devices made when planets are retrograde, Alison Chicosky has become so obsessed with Solomonic writer Aaron Leitch that she has taken to cosplaying him in her spare time. Chicosky released pictures of herself (shown) dressed as Leitch during his 1990s period. Not satisfied she had attained the “full Leitch”, she released the images to her followers, who seemed slightly confused. One thought the picture was her coming out as trans. While there would be nothing wrong with that, we don’t believe that is what Chicosky had in mind. The usual followers cheered with the same enthusiasm that Stalin’s followers applauded him. Will Moor trotted out his usual ugly, hateful memes, happy that it was politically wise that people would reassure his flaccid ego by saying they were funny? One of Chicosky’s followers, BJ Swain, claimed that “Soon the internet will be echoing with the rage-filled rants about the horrible abuses visited by Talison Chachingsk

Jake Statton-Kent has died

Jake Stratton-Kent the legendary goetic magician and writer, has died of a stroke after a long illness. Statton-Kent will go down in esoteric history for being a huge influence on ceremonial magicians and standing up against the institutionalisation of magic. For this reason, he did not fit in with many who wanted their magic precisely the way the Golden Dawn or Aleister Crowley performed it, although he had considerable sympathy with the latter’s approach. The Thelemites saw him as one of their own -- even if he appeared obsessed with Old Aeon stuff and didn't fit in with them. Unlike many magicians who wanted to “attain unity with a transcendent being”, Stratton-Kent followed a much older sub-lunar approach to daemons and demons. Geosophia for example, linked medieval demons found in the Grimoires to their ancient sources. His later work on the True Grimoire demythologised these texts and found their roots, but the notes explained how they worked based on actual experience.

Gareth Knight has died

Gareth Knight (Basil Wilby) has died at his Essex home on 1 March. He was 91. It is hard to find a place in the British Western Mystery Tradition where Gareth Knight did not influence. He trained in Dion Fortune’s Society of the Inner Light and his follow-up to her Mystical Qabalah with Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism. Knight became Fortune’s post-war interpreter, providing many footnotes and making her unpublished works accessible. He was her biographer. In the 1980s, Knights books were among the few which captured an authentic flavour of magic and esotericism. There was a certain “hands-on” about his approach to British mythology. He wrote more than forty books covering topics as diverse as Qabalah, the history of magic, Arthurian legend, Rosicrucianism, Tarot, the Inklings and the Feminine Mysteries, and several practical books on ritual magic. While no modern esoteric group will admit it, most of them followed Knight’s approach. His system can be seen in the work
