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.

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 ...
