The Golden Dawn flourished in Great Britain and France from 1887 to about 1901. It appears to have been an outgrowth of the German order, Orden des Gold-und Rosenkreuz. In the Golden Dawn one studied Qabalah, astrology, tarot divination, geomancy, scrying, astral travel, alchemy, Ancient Egyptian religion, Theurgy, Freemasonry, Alchemy, Enochian magic, Christian mysticism, etc. It flourished until the London Adepts rebelled against their leader. This act of betrayal destroyed the Order, fragments of which carried on under other names.
