These doctrines are— (1) That the borders of our minds are ever shifting, and that many minds can flow into one another, as it were, and create or reveal a single mind, a single energy. (2) That the borders of our memories are as shifting, and that our memories are a part of one great memory, the memory of Nature herself.

Devoted to the study of ceremonial magic, the Order attracted a long list of eminent writers, actors, and visual artists to its ranks, including W. B. Yeats and Aleister Crowley, as well as lesser-­known key figures. It envisioned a \"golden age\" of spiritual enlightenment, with progressive ideals—­class and gender were no barriers to entry—and teachings from tarot to alchemy and astral projection guided its ten hierarchical \"grades.\" While its temples were formally spaces to practice magic, Taylor finds that the Golden Dawn was at times more an arts club or society of writers.
