Golden Dawn Griffin attacks the wrong people (again)

Imperator of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Outer Order of the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega, David Griffin, this week wrote an exposé of a masonic plot to destroy his order.

Griffin claimed that Nick Farrell and Mike Crowson were members of the Societas Rosicruciana (SRIA), and for 20 years, that masonic organisation has been doing its level best to attack his beloved order. Griffin claimed here that the pair were secret agents acting on behalf of SRIA chief John Paternoster.

However, it appears that Griffin’s research only extended to reading a blog written by a Christian who felt that it was Satanic for John Paternoster to have written in an occult magazine. In other words, this same writer would have thought that Griffin himself was a Satanist.

Farrell posted yesterday about his dislike of masonic orders and said that he had never been a member of SRIA, which would have been a requisite for being Paternoster’s right-hand man.

Had Griffin researched British masonic politics, he would have also discovered that while Crowson had been a member of SRIA, he left six years ago after a somewhat spectacular and well-known row with John Paternoster. You usually do not obey orders on behalf of a person you do not like for an organisation you are not a part of.

Paternoster has other reasons for not liking Farrell because of his strong views about the use of practical magic.

At the 1997 Golden Dawn conference, Paternoster claimed that magic was “dangerous and warped the fabric of the universe”.

Griffin’s response to the chilling wind of fact being presented to him is that it must be lies because he said so. But he has not been able to offer any proof that Farrell or Crowson are actually members of SRIA.

Our source in SRIA tells us that this is because there is none. In fact, the implication was that SRIA was about as interested in having Farrell and Crowson as members as it was in inviting Griffin.

Griffin managed to get away with the claim because both Farrell and Crowson have chosen to ignore him and not stand up for themselves. It needs to be clarified why. Farrell and Crowson have yet to reply to Watcher of the Dawn; the only proof we can find that they know each other is that they are friends on Facebook.

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 sa...

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...
