Great video! I have the self initiation book, I couldn't figure out how to use the grade rituals if you are solitary, are they just meant to be read or do you need a temple to work in? At the moment I'm going through the Portable Complete Golden Dawn System of Magic from New Falcon, having read it before I'm hoping to take a bit more in this time. Looking forward to any new uploads from you.
The book is all about Self Initiation so of course there is no need to have a "temple to work in". Have two new uploads on my channel over the last two weeks.
These two books are different in scope so there is very little overlap. Golden Dawn Magic is about the GD system of magic for beginners while Garden of Pomegranates is about GD Hermetic Qabalah pathwork.
You're absolutely right the Golden Dawn book is not accessible in fact it's not even user-friendly it's vague I'm going to have to get this book here because I hear the same good review
Yes, this book is about self initiation according to the Golden Dawn method and it is a graded book. The other book Golden Dawn Magic is a simplified introduction and is not as detailed as Self-Initiation into the Golden Dawn Tradition book.
