Step into the world of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn at

the height and the epicentre of the late-Victorian occult revival.

This book explores the previously hidden history of Bradford's Horus No.5, one

of the first Golden Dawn temples. Drawing from the best single Golden Dawn

archive discovered to date (the 'Scott Collection'), it unveils the fascinating story

of the Horus Temple, with an insightful look into its history, key figures, temple

paraphernalia and cultural significance.

In a rare blend of scholarship and storytelling, never-before seen images and texts

are presented, challenging the current view of this most influential magical Order.

It solves several mysteries, while raising some of its own.

Learn about its impact on groups in the esoteric landscape of the time, such as the

Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor and the Rosicrucian Fratres of Keighley.

Horus No.5's legacy, kept in private hands for over 120 years, is a hugely significant

and previously missing piece of the history of the Golden Dawn, which illuminates

the occult and esoteric scene in turn-of-the-century West Yorkshire.

For magical connoisseurs and newcomers alike, the information in this book

unearths the intrigue, tension and drama of this lesser-known, yet momentous,

chapter of British magical history.

Industry Reviews

With the wealth of new information in her fascinating

and detailed account of the history and working of the

often overlooked Horus Temple, Melissa Seims has added

significantly to our knowledge and understanding of the

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn - just when we thought

that there was nothing more to discover about the Order!'
