Golden Dawn / 金色黎明

Golden Dawn is the occult organization discussed in 60.闲聊伟大作家们的八卦(第一弹) through [[WBYeats|W. B. Yeats / 叶芝]] and [[AleisterCrowley|Aleister Crowley]]. The episode frames it as a white-magic or ceremonial occult group that makes Yeats’s mystical interests institutional rather than merely private eccentricity.

The organization matters to Occult And Pseudoscience In Literary Modernity because it shows how modern writers could move through poetry, politics, ritual, magic, and personal rivalry in the same social world. Yeats and Crowley’s mutual hostility turns an occult society into a comic but revealing literary-biographical scene.
