Priest of Hermes · Golden Dawn Adept · Teaching Since 1984
Sam Webster, mage.
Scholar, priest, and publisher building a Pagan future — one working, one book, one initiate at a time. Founder of the Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn and Concrescent Press.
The Work
Magic, treated as a discipline — not a metaphor.
Sam Webster, PhD, M.Div., is an Adept of the Golden Dawn and a cofounder of the Chthonic‑Ouranian Templar Order, initiated across Wiccan, Druidic, Buddhist, Hindu, and Masonic lineages. Ordained through the Starr King School for the Ministry at the Graduate Theological Union, he earned his doctorate at the University of Bristol in 2015, studying Pagan history under Prof. Ronald Hutton — work that sits directly beside four decades of ritual practice, public teaching, and independent publishing.
