I was not leaving to blog about this...but the members of the HOGD/AO hope an answer, so clothed in I am blogging about the internet damp over.
(For ancestors who do not know about today's meltdown, David Griffin has supposedly recurrent his members to tap buying Nick Farrell's books, and to encompass Farrell's books huge negative reviews on Amazon; and Farrell has supposedly bad-mouthed the on your own organization who stand ever called themselves Alpha and Omega.)
The discuss that is forcing me to back-to-back today's meltdown is: Why did I not back-to-back Nick Farrell assumed infighting Griffin's HOGD/AO Order in my antacid review?
Now, this discuss necessity stand came up since this segment. But the on your own footnote I got about the review since today was a remark from one of my friends that I may possibly not spell (antiacid, antacid--what's the difference?!). I right stand gotten a footnote or two on Facebook, but I do not stop for somebody them...for example they did not discuss why I expected the trappings that I expected about Sovereign Patronizing the Water: Samuel Mathers and the Blond Daybreak in my review of the book.
In fact, I was expecting the internet to blocked pore over the summit week of Show off...it didn't. It made me cynical that the on your own organization reading my review were crickets. It made me cynical that the on your own organization to read Farrell's book were the reviewers.
Now, my nasty answer to the question
I did back-to-back it. In all probability, accurately most likely, I was too subtle about it.
Now is someplace I addressed the assumed infighting of the donate AO.
The largest concern with this book completely beyond doubt is that ancestors organization who ask humbly for to read it the best will shun it for example their superiors will discussion them that it is accurately a package of lies and a supporter ax job alleged to obliterate Mathers and their superiors' reputations. And they will be sure about their superiors. Farrell tries to back-to-back this gush by pointing out some of the trappings that banned Passing stand done in the since. I would love to say that the offenses he lists are aloof endeavors, but they stir up me of the laundry list of crap that I stand seen in the distinctive esoteric groups that I stand been complicated in.
Wow. It looks in imitation of I am really good at predicting the appearance...I am not.
Get your Blond Daybreak tear to pieces antacids here! Circus 9.99 a flask.
It is now time to allow an antacid and degree fashionable the Way-Back Machine mind the blazing dog poop.
The blind date is 1989. And I am pebbly to organized everybody working the Blond Daybreak system of magic clothed in in Denver Colorado. Present-day are three lodges committed clothed in. (To be sure four, but I am heedless of the fourth segment at this segment.) All three lodges hold tight to be Strong Order of the Blond Daybreak. And one is really vociferous about the fact that they are descended from the original Alpha and Omega.
It turns out that the loud-mouth is the crucial behaved of the lot. I am perfectly that the mast (the special creature who really has power in the group) takes one aspect at me and decides that I am too disobedient to be importance his time. Yes, too disobedient. Go like, I had the option to conversation to some former members of the group in discuss in arrears the group exploded fashionable enthusiasm, and they had hatefulness stories lessen than pit. (For the unique, I stand been in a lot of bad groups and had loads of hatefulness stories previously about bad leaders.)
I also got to see their rituals, tribute to the fact that for some pencil case I was acknowledged someone upright. (How that happened I still don't know.) And beyond doubt, the rituals looked in imitation of they came out of Regardie's book. It is fine to expect that the loud-mouth segment had no actual track to the original GD/AO.
Enchantingly enourgh, the segment that right stand had the best track, and which rituals actually looked in imitation of the AOs, chose to torrent the fact that they ever had a track...occasionally, one would get tangled a hatefulness story about the group that they sprung from. (Justly, they were a division group...and we all know that division are never yank in end their Close relative Order.)
So clothed in we stand a stomp of AO troubles of the type that Farrell is referring to and Griffin is not even in the community yet (or at token not as a observable advocate from someplace I was standing). This damage was well Before Griffin took out the feature for the HOGD/AO name.
So, I was not luxuriously sure of yourself that Farrell was spoken communication the donate AO. Discharge, if you stopover desire enourgh, the squad will tip over, but the damage will still be the especially. In my background, the crucial leaders mimic Mathers and hold tight ditch from him and his branch of the tradition. Present-day was a thrity blind date line that a whole stomp of damage was carried out under the orthodox of woman from Mathers' spiritual track. And Farrell may possibly stand been spoken communication about any of them...he did not create Griffin's modern AO by name.
(One hopes that Griffin is personal...but deeply, pressure of lawyers, bad book reviews, and piracy?! One necessity not stand to choice to such threats one's activities and service to their community necessity be the on your own justification one requests.)
And beyond doubt, someday Griffin is leaving to die and a whole stomp of Passing are leaving to arise up claiming to go by from his AO, and I am gaming that some of them are leaving to be bad apples. Equally of that, I would a little see the initial than shun the since crimes of groups that spent thirty living claiming ditch from Mathers since Griffin even showed up on the idea. Equally the initial was desired thirty living ago, twenty living ago, and someday will again be desired.
So grant is your answer: I am not luxuriously resolute that Farrell was spoken communication about Griffin's Order for example grant were others claiming ditch from the AO desire since him, and they were bad evil leaders, and someday others (in arrears Griffin is dead and dug in) will hold tight ditch from the AO to enlighten their damage. Above a initial misconstrue today than none at all.
