EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the original design for the symbolic Great Seal on the parchment roll of the Second Order of the Golden Dawn, dating back to 1891. Created by Moina Mathers, a prominent figure in esoteric circles during that era, this artwork is a testament to her profound knowledge and artistic talent. The intricate composition draws inspiration from various mystical traditions such as Hebrew mysticism, Hermeticism, and Rosicrucianism. The central focus lies on the enigmatic symbol known as Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis (the Red Rose and Golden Cross), which holds deep significance within these esoteric practices. Against a backdrop of vibrant watercolors on paper, Mathers skillfully incorporates elements like the Star of David and other cryptic motifs associated with fin de siècle Victorian culture. This amalgamation creates an aura of mystery and intrigue that resonates with those who delve into occult studies. Preserved in a private collection today, this painting offers us a glimpse into an enchanting world where secret societies thrived and sought spiritual enlightenment through hidden knowledge. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and space to convey profound ideas beyond our conventional understanding. As we explore this remarkable piece further, it becomes evident why it continues to captivate enthusiasts interested in esoteric symbolism even after more than a century since its creation.
