"The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was born in 1888, but, but it had been conceived in 1887 and it was the centenary of the conception rather than of the birth that was celebrated by the first Golden Dawn Conference held in 1987. It was not, however, an historical conference. Much was said about the cultural impact of the Order, but very little was offered on its history and even less on its practices. This second conference has attempted a more balanced approach to the Order, with an even distribution of papers and workshops on the history of the Golden Dawn, on its magical practices and on the theory underlying them."
