How-to
This section is a how-to guide, and is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Content is non-neutral and lacks objectivity. It needs a total re-write IMO. Thanks. :) &mdash; RJH 19:16, 10 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I agree. Probably easiest just to delete it, enough relevant info has been given already. Georgeslegloupier 23:55, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Actually, as the article now stands, I was expecting a bit more description about what exactly this "technique" entails. While of course it may be considered a "how-to" if written from a non-neutral point of view, the concept of a "technique" is of interest to Wikipedia; further, if every article describing any form of "technnique" (i.e., the manner in which certain people accomplish a certain thing) were deleted on the grounds of it being a "how-to," Wikipedia would indeed be starved for information.

This article is complete nonsense -76.21.103.36 (talk) 04:56, 29 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The subject of this article may be complete nonsense, but if it's been in existence for about a century and acquired "notability", there's no reason why there can't be a Wikipedia article on it... AnonMoos (talk) 08:48, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Notability
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is certainly notable, and this is an aspect of their teaching and practice which has shown up in various contexts during the last century or so. It's unfortunate that no one has ever taken page numbers from the books listed as references to form suitable footnotes, but it's a little strange to delete the article for basically that reason...

 * It looked to me as though this would be best merged into the Golden Dawn article itself, as there is relaly not much information here, apart from listing the tattwa symbols. I am OK with it staying, but it would be of more use filled out or given greater context. H.dryad (talk) 13:22, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't think that this aspect of Golden Dawnism is suited for inclusion in the general article when there are many other comparable aspects which would bloat the article to great length if all were included (and if you intended to signal a merge, you should have added a merge tag). Not sure what context you would want to include that wouldn't fall under "how-to" information, to which there was objection in 2005 above.  Basically adherents use the symbols to guide their meditations and search for astral visions in certain directions.  There are also the "Akashic records".  The elemental astral planes showed up much later in the Dungeons and Dragons "Planescape" setting (see Inner Plane), but due to influences which were probably several times removed from the Golden Dawn...

I added footnotes to Israel Regardie Golden Dawn documents. If there's something else you want added from that source, feel free to ask now. AnonMoos (talk) 13:00, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
