Synopsis :

When the first edition of the Secret Inner Order Rituals of the Golden Dawn book was released in 1988 it was about an unknown Golden Dawn temple, Whare ra, in New Zealand, that few people had heard of. It had closed its doors some ten years earlier after its founding in 1912 by Dr Robert Felkin. Many of the elderly adepti were then still living at the time of the books publication. This book revealed not only the history of Whare ra temple in Havelock North, but that some of its adepti had taught others its teachings, rituals and methodologies. The real surprise in the book was the first publication of the 6=5 and 7=4 rituals of the Stella Matutina, which author Pat Zalewski, had been awarded. The second edition has made a number of corrections to the historical element of the book in lieu of more recent research and also additions to the 6=5 and 7=4 rituals, which had a number of copying errors and omissions in them. This edition presents a far more balanced perspective on the last of the Stella Matutina temples from the point of view of its members, as told to the author and of the struggles they had in continuing it into the 1970s.

À propos de l?auteur: Pat Zalewski was born in Brisbane on 21st of May 1948. His first interest in esoteric studies came from yoga and karate which he studied in Brisbane in his early teens. In 1970 he left to settle in New Zealand and started studying the Golden Dawn in 1978 when he bought a copy of Regardie s book on Golden Dawn rituals. By 1980, while enquiring about a New Zealand Golden Dawn temple in Havelock North, through some local masons, he was contacted by former Whare ra Hierophant, Jack Taylor and invited to study under him and was assisted by a small group of ex Whare ra members. After a brief exchange of letters with Israel Regardie in 1982, the two met in Wellington, New Zealand in August of 1983. Zalewski wrote a number of books on the Golden Dawn which he lectured and did ritual workshops in 1988 and 1992 in both Los Angeles and Seattle. In 1999 he returned to Australia and settled in Australia s tropical north. During this time he was inducted in the New Zealand Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2000 for a life time achievement award. In 2002 he was also inducted into in to the Australian Martial arts Hall of Fame as Martial arts Historian of the year jointly with the World Karate Union Hall of Fame along with a promotion to 6th degree Black Belt New Zealand Sokeship Council. He was awarded a degree in history with Honours and a Masters of Philosophy in History from James Cook University. To date he has published 11 books on the Golden Dawn and number of academic articles on Australian historical studies.
