Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
The three founders, William Robert Woodman, William Wynn Westcott, and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers were Freemasons and members of Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (S.R.I.A.).[5] Westcott appears to have been the initial driving force behind the establishment of the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn system was based on hierarchy and initiation like the Masonic Lodges; however women were admitted on an equal basis with men. The "Golden Dawn" was the first of three Orders, although all three are often collectively referred to as the "Golden Dawn".

Roots of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
by Terry Melanson (26/4/2009) [Author’s note: My initial speculation was warranted, it seems; additional corroboration in the following post (and comments): “Was Jacob Frank a Rosicrucian?“]

Jean-Jacques Olier - Mason, anti Christian, Rosecrucian
Jean-Jacques Olier, S.S. (20 September 1608 – 2 April 1657) was a French Catholic priest and the founder of the Sulpicians.

William Stukeley - Freemason - he linked the Zodiac to ISIS
William Stukeley FRS, FRCP, FSA (7 November 1687 – 3 March 1765) was an Anglican clergyman and English antiquarian who pioneered the archaeological investigation of the prehistoric monuments of Stonehenge and Avebury. He was friends with Isaac Newton and was among Newton's first biographers. Stukeley was also involved with Freemasonry and instrumental in British scholarship's acceptance of Charles Bertram's forged Description of Britain. Despite his Anglican faith and church offices, he was ordained as a "druid" and was a leading figure in Neo-Druidry.

Steiner believed in the possibility of applying the clarity of scientific thinking to spiritual experience, which he saw as deriving from an objectively existing spiritual world. Steiner identified mathematics, which attains certainty through thinking itself, thus through inner experience rather than empirical observation, as the basis of his epistemology of spiritual experience. The Mathematical-Astronomical Section is one of eleven sections of the School of Spiritual Science, Goetheanum.
Johannes Valentinus Andreae - founder of 16th century Rosecrucianism
Johannes Valentinus Andreae (August 17, 1586 – June 27, 1654), a.k.a. Johannes Valentinus Andreä or Johann Valentin Andreae, was a German theologian, who claimed to be the author of an ancient text known as the Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosencreutz anno 1459 (published in 1616, Strasbourg, as the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz). This became one of the three founding works of Rosicrucianism, which was both a legend and a fashionable semi-cult across Europe in this period. Andreae was a prominent member of the Protestant utopian movement which began in Germany and spread across northern Europe and into Britain under the mentorship of Samuel Hartlib and John Amos Comenius. The focus of this movement was the need for education and the encouragement of sciences as the key to national prosperity. But like many vaguely-religious Renaissance movements at this time, the scientific ideas being promoted were often tinged with hermeticism, occultism and neo-Platonic concepts.
Eirenaeus Philalethes
Eirenaeus Philalethes (the peaceful lover of truth) was a 17th-century alchemist and the author of many influential works. These works were read by such luminaries as Isaac Newton, John Locke, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Newton's extensive writings on alchemy are heavily indebted to Philalethes, although Newton incorporated significant modifications as well.
Miracle Club -forerunner to Theosophical Society, comparison to OTO
PublicationsBook ReviewsReview by Paradoxos Alpha Edited & introduced by Tim Maroney Historically, the Theosophical Society (T.S.) is perhaps the single most influential occult organization of modern times. It is interesting, and not too difficult, to note the similarities between O.T.O. and the T.S. Both came out of the late 19th Century climate of idealistic internationalism, complete with program statements devoted to “Universal Brotherhood.”
Mother of Wisdom, Numerology, Kabbalah, Freemasonry and Occult Meanings
The term Isis has been spoken more and more of late, often times being associated with an alleged Islamic terrorist group. The recent Paris attack of Friday the 13th is one such example. But within occult circles in government and power, as well as those well versed in the spiritual symbolism of antiquity, Isis for thousands of years has been associated with the divine goddess, the mother of all creation or all that is becoming. The following article by Moe of Gnostic Warrior, sheds light on the historical usage and meaning of the divine goddess symbol, and how the Statue of Liberty represents one form of the Goddess Isis. But before we begin this exploration of history, we must first understand the transformative nature of the goddess archetype, and how it is a reflection of the consciousness of humanity as a whole. The Principle of Care refers to the tendency of consciousness to create that which it finds value in, that which we care about.
