Whatever gave you that impression, Rondell? The title of this blog is Hebrew, so, if anything, it would be Jewish. It's not, however. It's an estoric blog dealing with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which had many famous members, including W.B. Yeats.

I can imagine that some body like Rondell here who stumbled across your site who had never heard of the Western Mysteries or the Golden Dawn would probably trip a little bit ...
Great Blog BTW ...

I'm going let you off easy this time. I mean, I don't want to start nothing with nobody. That's just the way I is. I just like to keep things in check.

The Holy Guardian Angel in the Golden Dawn

The topic of the place of the Holy Guardian Angel in the Golden Dawn system has been raised numerous times, largely due to the fact that Mathers published what is seen by many as the seminal text on the subject, The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin the Mage , plus the popularisation of the concept through Aleister Crowley. The question, however, is whether this term and idea applies to the teachings of the Golden Dawn. Firstly, let us look at the term itself. Abra-Melin uses various terms interchangeably: "Holy Guardian Angel", "Guardian Angel", "Holy Angel", or, in some cases, just "Angel", all referring to the same thing. This is usually referred to today by most as simply "Holy Guardian Angel". However, in his Introduction, Mathers only ever uses the term "Guardian Angel". Neither the term “Holy Guardian Angel” nor "Guardian Angel" is overtly used, to my knowledge, in any original G.D. material. There is a S...

Regardie did not publish this in its entirety, so it is not surprising there is some confusion, but the nature of this symbol according to the Golden Dawn is a bit different to what many Thelemites turned it into. As the image shows, this is not just another way to draw a standard hexagram, allowing for a single united line, but rather a symbol that denotes something entirely different. It is arguably more alchemical than planetary. It is classified as the third form of the hexangle and is called the "pseudo-hexagram" or "irregular third form." Its description is: "Denotes the presidency of the Sun and Moon over the Four Elements, united in, and proceeding from, the Spirit." It is not, therefore, a goo...
