Griffin tells Pascal Rugiu he is a joke

The Sole Proprietor of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, outer order of the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega business, David Griffin, had told his former number two that he must be joking when he claimed the business' secret chiefs had abandoned him.

As we reported, Pascal posted on Facebook that he was the only link Griffin had for the Third Order, which was cut when he resigned. He said that he introduced Griffin to the secret chiefs in his home.   So, if members of the AO wanted underground leaders with their magic order, they needed to talk to him.

That would not usually have indicated that the AO had lost its secret chiefs, as they might have continued to work independently with Griffin. But Ruggiu said that Griffin had angered the Secret Chiefs greatly.

"They say he has betrayed them!" he wrote on Facebook. The Master told Ruggiu that Griffin did not help him but "just exploited him" and wrote a "very insulting letter to the council of Masters." The result was that the Secret Chiefs decided to leave him.

Today, Griffin this week printed "a clarification" of Ruggiu's outburst, saying that it was" a joke" because one of the secret chiefs was staying at his house for four months when Pascal said it. He was apparently preparing to give top-secret information to the people who showed up at his workshop in April. That secret chief later asked Pascal to take down the post, and he apparently did, at least according to Griffin.

However, like most of Griffin's histories, he still needs to get his dates right, which probably means he is not telling the whole story. Ruggiu's comments on Facebook were written in May, well after the Secret Chief had returned to Italy or Paris or wherever he lived. According to Griffin's dating, this must have been at the latest February, assuming it happened. Griffin's conference was in April.

Alas, this means that Ruggiu's information about the state of mind of the secret chiefs is more recent than anything that happened before Griffin's April workshop.

 Perhaps the row that Ruggiu is referring to is the mind of the Secret Chief AFTER he left Griffin. Then there is the letter Ruggiu refers to, which claims the Secret Chiefs had cut off contact with Griffin after a rude letter. The secret chief said Griffin had failed to support him; perhaps they expected their Vegas gambling debts to be covered. Still, it sounds like the secret chief got back from Vegas and was suitably pissed off.

We would have thought that a Secret Chief who is an alchemical master should be able to generate enough gold himself, or having trained Griffin for four months, should have expected Griffin to generate enough cash himself. Besides, Griffin claimed two years ago that he could turn lead into gold; we would have thought he would have been rolling in it by now.

Ruggiu has been quiet about the whole matter, and when he was asked about it, he said he would be making a statement later, which has never arrived. Meanwhile, Griffin is keeping up the story that he is connected to Ruggiu's secret chiefs and insisting that they think he is their fantastic new hope and that Ruggiu' is nothing to them.

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...

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.  Koetti...
