Nick Farrell hits out at David Griffin’s “lies”

Golden Dawn historian Nick Farrell hit back at David Griffin’s claims that he was a spy on behalf of SRIA trying to bring down his business.

David Griffin loses another clay-slinging contest.

Griffin, runs his Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the outer order of the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega, as a sole trader-style business. As you can read here, Griffin has been erroneously claiming that Nick Farrell is an agent of the Masonic SRIA organisation, which he claims is a Nazi bunch of Satanists with a born-again Christian agenda.

While Farrell has never defended himself against such attacks, we found evidence that he was not a member of SRIA at all and wondered, with the rest of us, why Griffin would produce such an obvious porkie pie.

This morning, in his blog, Farrell confirmed what we had written, saying that he has never been a member of SRIA and he can’t work out what Griffin is banging on about.

“How is it possible for me to be a spy for two orders that I am not a member of taking orders from [the head of SRIA John Paternoster] who I last saw at the GD conference in 1996,” he wrote.

Farrell also answered charges that he had been defaming Griffin’s order in his books King over the Water and Mathers Last Secret.  He said that his books were written about the historical AO order and not Griffin’s business.

“My books tell the history of the real AO, not the one you set up in the 1990s.  In your head, you might think they are the same thing, but they are not.  My histories stop in the 1940s before you were born, just like the real AO,” he told Griffin.

He warned Griffin that if he wanted acceptance by the wider Golden Dawn Community, he was going to “have to stop calling people names and making up fake conspiracies and false stories.  If you are going to be accepted as a chief then you are going to have to  do something basic like teaching people rather than running around like the alcoholic on the street who thinks they are being chased by aliens, “

He accused Griffin of vandalising references to his books on Wikipedia in a bid to suppress facts about the historical AO and keep the truth from his members.

Farrell also referred to an incident where Griffin ordered his followers to conduct a virtual book burning by flooding Amazon with one star reviews for his books.

Griffin has claimed that Farrell’s King over the Water was self-published because it was issued by Kerubim Press.  Farrell said he was involved in setting up Kerubim but it was run by Dean Wilson.

Wilson has also stated that the company is a sole proprietorship, founded, run and owned by him.

“Nick did the layout work and cover designs, freelance, for King Over the Water and Commentaries on the Golden Dawn Flying Rolls, and only those two titles. He had no other involvement with the company and is neither co-founder, co-owner, or co-partner,” Wilson said.

“He had no part in the editing, publishing, distribution, or marketing process of the two titles he was involved with. King Over the Water does not meet any definitions of self-publishing since it was authored by Nick but published by me,” he added.

It seems to outsiders that in a couple of posts, Farrell and Wilson have derailed a year's worth of barefaced lies by David Griffin and made most of the posts and all the comments redundant.

Spectral Evidence conference organiser tells Palestinians to eat each other

Wiccan warlock Christian Day [pictured] has caused disgust and outrage after telling starving Palestinians to turn cannibal.   The twisted occultist made the shocking comment on Facebook after someone posted: “Palestinian kids are out of food and the world is doing nothing.” Day sneered back: “They can always dine on one another. I’m surprised they haven’t eaten the hostages yet.”   Day is already notorious. He was shunned by a large number of covens who felt that the world needed to be protected from his antics. These range from trolling to nasty, abusive posts   Despite being cast out, Day continues to flog his Spectral Evidence convention, an online occult jamboree boasting 75 lectures.  Day is alleged to have doxed fellow pagans, handing their names and addresses to a far-right Christian church. Though he hurriedly deleted the details, the damage was done, and extremists were effectively given a hit list.  Critics say he is courting controversy...

Witch Queen backs “Abusive Priest” as fury erupts in Wiccan circles

Co-founder of Alexandrian Witchcraft and Witch Queen Maxine Sanders has thrown petrol on an already blazing row in the occult world after publicly defending Christian Day, a notorious witch with a rap sheet of scandals longer than most people’s Book of Shadows . Day, who runs the online  Spectral Evidence shin-dig, has already hit headlines for all the wrong reasons. Most recently , he suggested Palestinians should be “eating their children” and has been dragged through court accused of elder abuse; he has also been slammed for stalking, racism and general nastiness.   Yet instead of keeping her distance, Sanders shocked many by leaping to his defence in a Facebook post, even mocking one of his accusers and brushing the whole saga off as little more than community drama. She wrote a lengthy post calling the criticism “spectacle dressed up as accountability.” She singled out one of Day’s alleged victims, using the mocking nickname “Spikey,” and accused him of hypocris...

Occult book boss nicked my sigils

NOTED Golden Dawn scholar Olen Rush has accused Kerubim Press chief Dean Wilson [AKA  Frater Yechidah] of stealing his research on tarot sigils and trying to pass it off as his own mystical revelation. Rush, author of A Short Treatise on the Sigils of the Scales , claims Wilson half inched his documented work on how Golden Dawn “King” and “Queen” court cards combine to form “Prince Sigils”. Rush insists the material, first published in 2010, was later dressed up by Wilson as if it had been spiritually revealed to him. Rush says the proof lies in old blog posts and emails from 2012 where Wilson not only praised his book but asked permission to link to it. He accuses Wilson of now denying ever having read the work while presenting its core ideas as his own. “He had the audacity to suggest we compare findings when he had already borrowed mine,” Rush said. The sigils are an obscure part of the Golden Dawn tradition, and Rush is the expert. Golden Dawn insiders note that Rush’s ...
