Jorge Hevia III is dead

Jorge Hevia III, a 7=4 and the Praemonstrator Ordinis one of the three Chiefs in David Griffin’s Golden Dawn Order in happier daze. Sorry days.


The Golden Dawn Community is reeling after the news that the bloke whose job it was to provide the Rosicrucian Order of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Outer with its teaching, Jorge Hevia III died LAST YEAR.

We say reeling because the news is a complete surprise.  According to the Miami Herald Hevia died on December 10, 2013, and yet no one in Griffin’s order acknowledged the death of one of its most publicly identifiable leaders.  One would think that all those years of loyal service would amount to a few words on David Griffin’s blog, but apparently not. In fact, we are still not sure how he died.

To put this lack of information into perspective, Jorge Hevia III was extremely important to Griffin and his Order. Hevia was a 7=4 and the  Praemonstrator Ordinis, which means he was expected to provide teaching.  In other orders, it would be Hevia who provided the Rosicrucian Order of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Outer with the advanced Golden Dawn teaching. Most papers circulating amongst that Order with his name on them must be the finest example of a knowledgeable Golden Dawn adept. We have asked our sources in the order if any papers or teaching came from Hevia but they have not seen any. We guess they were too high-level to be seen by the riffraff.

It was not Hevia’s intense knowledge of magic and his skills as a teacher which made him famous. Hevia was David Griffin’s free lawyer who enabled the order to threaten multiple court cases against other members of the Golden Dawn community. A free lawyer gave Griffin meant that other members of the Golden Dawn would either must give in or face huge legal costs. For example, the court case for controlling the Golden Dawn trademark cost Chic Cicero more than $140,000 to fight and nearly bankrupted him.

Fortunately, Hevia was not actually a trademark lawyer and found himself out of his depth on numerous occasions. The court records we have seen are full of numerous comedy references. One of our favourites is when one of the Judges complained that Jorge was smoking so much when he prepared the court documents that they stank, and the staff would not handle them.

After the court ordered a trademark agreement between Griffin and Cicero, Hevia was ordered, we assume by Griffin, to get it overturned. He did this by sending to the court, on a regular basis, letters of complaint about how the agreement was being violated, which had to be answered by Cicero’s lawyer, who charged for his services.  – at $100 a pop. If you send enough of these a week, you can really drain your opponent’s bank account. Our source tells us that there were a lot of complaints with Jorge’s signature on them, which were ignored by the court but cost Chic money. 

Hevia’s last work was carried out by his office, which was given up in a trademark case against AMORC. This must have been signed off by his office after his death. In it, the Golden Dawn trademark wars, which were the hallmark of Hevia’s occult legacy, are finally over.  We are told that it means that Griffin’s website, where he has that stupid registered trademark symbol over everything, is illegal. We guess he has no trusted, free lawyer to tell him to take it down.

Still, it is a bit sad that the only announcement in the occult community where Hevia’s death is recorded is Watcher of the Dawn and even then, it is done so late it is hardly news anymore. Some would think he must have generated some bad karma to be punished in that way.

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 ...
