Two years later in 1934, he joined Stella Matutina, a successor organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. When the group disbanded, Regardie acquired the bulk of the Order's documents and compiled the book, The Golden Dawn, which earned him the enmity of the other former members and the reputation of being an oath-breaker because of the information it revealed. However, the book transformed the work of the Order into an entire new branch of the Western Occult Tradition. As Regardie observed in his A Garden of Pomegranates, "...it is essential that the whole system should be publicly exhibited so that it may not be lost to mankind. For it is the heritage of every man and woman--their spiritual birthright." The various occult organizations claiming descent from the original Golden Dawn and the systems of magic practiced by them owe their continuing existence and popularity to Regardie's work.

In 1937, at the age of 30, Regardie returned to the U.S., entering Chiropractic College in New York. In addition, he studied psychoanalysis with Dr. E. Clegg and Dr. J. L. Bendit, and psychotherapy with Dr. Nandor Fodor. He opened a chiropractic office and taught psychiatry -- Freudian, Reichian and Jungian -- retiring in 1981 at the age of 74, when he moved to Sedona, AZ.

Israel Regardie (Francis Israel Regudy) (nascido em 17 de novembro de 1907 em Londres, Inglaterra, morto em 10 de março de 1985 em Sedona, Arizona) foi um dos mais significativos ocultistas do século XX e um renovador da literatura oculta.

Biography

Israel Regardie nasceu em Londres de pais judeus imigrantes pobreso. Sua famiília mudou de sobrenome para "Regardie" após uma confusão clerical resultada no envolvimento do irmão de Israel com o Exército Britânico sob esse sobrenome.

Regardie emigrou para os Estados Unidos aos 14 anos de idade, e estudou arte em Washington, DC e Filadélfia, PA. Com um tutor hebreu ele obteu o conhecimento linguístico que provaria ser inestimável em seus estudos posteriores de [{Qabalah]] hermética.

Com fácil acesso à biblioteca do Congresso, ele leu muito e tornou-se interessado na teosofia, filosofia hindu e yoga; também juntou-se aos rosa-cruzes nesta época.[3] Após ler a Parte I do Magick (O Livro Quatro) pelo ocultista Aleister Crowley, iniciou uma correspondência que levaria ao seu retorno aos 21 para a Inglaterra por convite de Crowley, para tornar-se secretário em 1928. Os dois dividiram sua compania até 1932.

Em 1934, entrou para a Stella Matutina, uma organização "sucessora" da Ordem Hermética da Aurora Dourada. Quando o grupo dissolveu, Regardie adquiriu a pilha de documentos da Ordem e compilou o livro "A Golden Dawn", que deu-lhe a inimizade de outros membros antigos e a reputação de ser um quebrador de juramentos por causa da informação revelada. No entanto, o livro transformou o trabalho da Ordem em um ramo inteiro da Tradição Ocultista Ocidental.

As Regardie observed in his A Garden of Pomegranates, "...it is essential that the whole system should be publicly exhibited so that it may not be lost to mankind. For it is the heritage of every man and woman--their spiritual birthright." The various occult organizations claiming descent from the original Golden Dawn and the systems of magic practiced by them owe their continuing existence and popularity to Regardie's work.

In 1937, at the age of 30, Regardie returned to the U.S., entering Chiropractic College in New York. In addition, he studied psychoanalysis with Dr. E. Clegg and Dr. J. L. Bendit, and psychotherapy with Dr. Nandor Fodor. He opened a chiropractic office and taught psychiatry -- Freudian, Reichian and Jungian -- retiring in 1981 at the age of 74, when he moved to Sedona, AZ.

He died from a heart attack in the presence of close friends during a dinner at a restaurant in Sedona, Arizona on March 10, 1985 at the age of 77.

Legacy

Regardie is a principal reliable source for much of what is known about the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. His writings and the students he has taught or influenced provide much of the foundation for modern Western occultism. In addition to preserving the knowledge, Regardie also preserved a valid branch of the initiatory lineage of the Golden Dawn in America:

The second significant task carried out by Regardie was, as an Adept, to bring a valid branch of the initiatory lineage of the Golden Dawn to America the alchemical melting pot where the New Age was incubating. Such tasks are not always easy. A. M. A. G. waited here four decades until the threads of the pattern came together. Then, in one of those graceful synchronicities which often play midwife to significant magical events, a couple in Georgia were inspired—at that time scarcely aware of what they were undertaking—to build a Rosicrucian Vault, the powerful ritual chamber required to pass on the Adept Initiation, at precisely the time when two magicians (one on the east coast of the United States and one on the west coast), unknown to each other or to the Georgia couple, came to be ready to receive that Initiation. And A. M. A. G., with the right to confer the Initiation in such a Vault, was the connecting link among them. And so, in one remarkable weekend, Regardie presided over two Initiations into the Inner Order, the first and the last which he ever performed; and the Lamp of the Keryx was passed into American hands. — Forrest, Adam P. in Cicero (1995), p. 541

Please note: In the above paragraph, A.M.A.G. refers to Regardie. Participants in the Order took on a pseudonym or magical motto. In Regardie's case, his pseudonym was Ad Majorem Adonai Gloriam which means "To the Greater Glory of Adonai".
