Two Organizations
The Foundation & the Order.
Two organizations Sam Webster founded to carry the work beyond his own writing and teaching — one financial and organizational, one initiatory.
The Pantheon Foundation
In 2014, Sam Webster founded the Pantheon Foundation to provide financial and organizational support to the Pagan Community.
The Pantheon Foundation
Our Mission: To provide organizational support for the practice of Pagan religion and the fostering of Pagan Ministry. To study the history, promote the culture, and advance the social welfare of Pagans and the Pagan community.
At this time, the Foundation hosts the Pagan Future Fund, saving and responsibly investing donations for a day when we need them, and provide fiscal sponsorship for the Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn and Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
Essence
Our way to the realization of a Pagan future
will not be through the Sword
we will foment no fruitless armed insurrection
Nor will it be through the Cup
no Dionysian revolution will overthrow our sick society
Nor even through the Wand
for the laws of this land are used against us
and we have little access to the halls of justice
But the Coin is for All
with it we can slowly build, collect real power,
train leaders, and enact good stewardship
and build a Pagan future
The Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn
In 2001, Sam Webster founded the Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn as an independent flowering of the Hermetic Current. Since then over a hundred initiates have entered the Order and of which a significant fraction attained to Adeptship.
Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn
We are a community of magickal practitioners, mostly of Pagan background, who have gathered to work the Golden Dawn System.
Since most of the original order's material is published, and the world is very different from what it was at the start of the 20th century, we don't operate in secrecy or keep secrets save what is needed for confidentiality or security.
We invite you to:
- Read the Manifesto of the Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn, which outlines our goals and philosophy.
- Read the Constitution of the Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn.
- Check out the Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about us.
- All of our Order's officers are elected by democratic process, as set forth in our Constitution, and our operational Regulations are published.
- Learn about our spiritual development process in On the General Guidance and Purification of the Soul, v2.0.
- Postulants to the Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn have a right to ask where we stand On Lineage.
- Study our Rituals. As we redact them into suitable forms we'll be posting them on this site. We invite you to put them to your own use.
- Visit our on-line Library, where you will find the results of our collection process and our own research and practice. If you have writings that may be suitable to post here, let us know. Through open discussion the community of practice grows.
- Work with us or at least let us know you are out there.
In the sense of making it more prevalent, our primary goal is to normalize Adeptship. Would you like to help?
