This explanation is immediately followed in the knowledge lecture by a table giving the Tree of Life symbolism, including the Divine Name, Archangelic Name, and Choir of Angels for each sephira of the Tree of Life in English and Hebrew for the memorization of the Zelator grade initiate (Regardie, The Golden Dawn 64). According to Golden Dawn's leader, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, the party suspended its own autonomous political activities after 1 December 2005 because of clashes with anarchists. [101] Golden Dawn members were instructed to continue their activism within the Patriotic Alliance party, which was very closely linked to Golden Dawn. [102] [103] The former leader of Patriotic Alliance, Dimitrios Zaphiropoulos, was once a member of Golden Dawn's political council, and Michaloliakos became a leading member of Patriotic Alliance. [88] There were accusations that the "Patriotic Alliance" was simply the new name of Golden Dawn. [104] Activities by Patriotic Alliance's members were often attributed to Golden Dawn (even by themselves), creating confusion. [103] This is the main reason Golden Dawn's members announced the withdrawal of their support of the Patriotic Alliance, which eventually led to the interruption of Golden Dawn's political activities. [105] [106] In March 2007, Golden Dawn held its sixth congress and announced the resumption of their political and ideological activism.

How does the Golden Dawn fit into the definition of western esotericism that Faivre, Hanegraaff and others use in practice? In Faivre’s definition as discussed in Chapter Two, there are four features that are necessary for a tradition or activity to be categorized as part of western esotericism. These features are: (1) Correspondences; (2) Living Nature; (3) Imagination and Mediations; (4) The Experience of Transmutation. Additionally, there are the two non-essential features, The Praxis of the Concordance and Transmission (Faivre, Access 10-14). The work of the Golden Dawn can be examined for these features to show how the Golden Dawn’s practices fit into the framework of this definition.

J.W. Brodie-Innes continued leading the Amen-Ra temple, deciding that the revolt was unjustified. By 1908, Mathers and Brodie-Innes were in complete accord. [26] According to sources that differ regarding the actual date, sometime between 1901 and 1913 Mathers renamed the branch of the Golden Dawn remaining loyal to his leadership to Alpha et Omega. [27] [28] [29] [d] Brodie-Innes assumed command of the English and Scottish temples, while Mathers concentrated on building up his Ahathoor temple and extending his American connections. [28] According to occultist Israel Regardie, the Golden Dawn had spread to the United States of America before 1900 and a Thoth-Hermes temple had been founded in Chicago. [26] [28] By the beginning of the First World War in 1914, Mathers had established two to three American temples. Greece approves same-sex civil partnership. Deutsche Welle.

Members of Golden Dawn, along with priests and ultrareligious Orthodox believers, gathered outside the Chytirio Theatre in Athens to condemn Terrence McNally's blasphemous play Corpus Christi, which was due to be performed there. They allegedly chased and beat a journalist for taking pictures of the demonstration, while his call for help went unanswered by police officers who were present. [196] [197] According to other reports Golden Dawn lawmaker Christos Pappas entered the police van and released one of four detainees (11 October 2012). [198] [199] [200] By the mid-1890s, the Golden Dawn was well established in Great Britain, with over one hundred members from every class of Victorian society.

The Tree of Life and its symbolism also acts as the unifying theology needed for the Praxis of Concordance. This symbolism allowed tarot cards, alchemy, and astrology, which were otherwise distinct traditions historically, to be mapped within the one overall structure provided by the Tree of Life through being associated with components of the Tree. Additionally, the various activities of initiation rituals, the creation of talismans, divination, or the development of the spiritual self are seen as partaking of the same underlying formula as described in the Z2 paper. This formula is also structured in accordance with the symbolism of the Cabala as understood by the Golden Dawn. Thus the Cabala and the Tree of Life form the underlying basis that allows these otherwise disparate sets of symbols and traditions of practice in western esotericism to be joined together as part of a larger whole to create a coherent, synthesized tradition.

The total percentage of Golden Dawn votes in Athens A was 7.8%. A police official stated that support for the party was high and growing among the police, as well as in the branches of the military.
