by Mary K. Greer

(Excerpt of Review - Linked Above)

Mary Greer's "Women of the Golden Dawn" is the best book on the Golden Dawn tradition to date. Instead of another dry, historical treatise of the Magical Order, Greer really breathes life into the women and men who created, nurtured and integrated the Golden Dawn magical System into their lives. These women were artists with magic as the creative impulse. Greer makes us feel like participants in their pains and joys, failures and victories. Not only does the reader get a full psychological insight into these women, but Ms. Greer shows the astrological influences that shaped their actions at significant times. This provides an opportunity to improve one's knowledge of Astrology a hundred fold.
