King Over the Water: Samuel Mathers and the Golden Dawn
by Nick Farrell.
In King Over The Water, Golden Dawn magician Nick Farrell paints a picture
of the founders of the Golden Dawn becoming out of their depth as the Order
began to create magicians. Rather than painting Mathers as an eccentric
genius, Farrell sees him as an autocratic fantasist. He sees Mathers struggling
to keep up as his students rapidly became better than him at the system he
created, and shows how he was unable to raise his game to help the Order
develop further.

the Grail in this new version; it does not feed the hungry or give
drink to the thirsty: it does not produce oracles; there is no mystery
concerning a wounded king whose healing depends on the asking of
a certain question. In a word, this last speculation of origins explains
nothing connected late or early with the Holy Grail itself; or any
branch of its old romance-literature. It seems unlikely, therefore;
that it will attract attention at the hands of textual scholars. We
should have been more than grateful to Dr. Waddell had he offered
something to our purpose; for the position of the Grail problem is
under greater clouds than ever, and so seems likely to remain. It may
come as a surprise to several, but whereas there has been a subsidence
of work in England since the untimely death of Mr. Alfred Nutt, a
leading Celtic scholar, there are records of research in America which
have offered not only occasional new views upon certain aspects of
the Grail subject, but have cast grave doubt on several fashions of
interpretation. For example, a hostile judgment has been passed on
the fertility-cultus hypothesis which Miss Weston derived mainly
from Frazers materials in The Golden Bough, though it had earlier
protagonists in Simrock and E. Martin. It has been shewn also that
Miss Westons view is, in the most essential respects, identical
with that of W.A. Nitze, who was at work independently at the same
period. Dr. J.D. Bruce,2 in his exhaustive study of Arthurian literature,
concludes that where features common to Christian legend and
ancient cults are found in the Grail romances, it is much more likely
that these texts derived them from the former rather than from
any supposed underground perpetuation of the latter. The parallels
of the Grail procession are in Christian ritual, and Christian ritual is
far more likely to have been the immediate source than any ancient
rites of Agrarian Divinities about which we know nothing definite.
Not only, therefore, do the vegetation gods go forth, like the solarmythological hypothesis of Birch-Hirschfeld, which preceded, but
so also does the Celtic origin, and we are left with an invention which
has its basis in Christian Myth, fortified by the far-diffused stones of
passion-relies. This is an old view, but Dr. Bruce brings great learning
to bear on its reconstruction. It may be added that, so far back as
1893, Professor G.M. Harper 3 of Princeton College, Baltimore, had

4. The highest form of activity of this principle requires for its perfect
expression, perfect means. The perfect cannot manifest its perfection in
an imperfect organism. The place which a being occupies on the ladder of
evolution, depends on the progress which that divine principle, acting in
the center of each being, has made in evolving an organism, adapted to its
manifestation.
5. The most perfect organism for the manifestation of the divine and
universal principle in its highest aspect, of which we know, in the (spiritual)
organism of Man. In this organism, this divine principle, after having
attained sensation and consciousness in the lower forms of nature, may acquire
(spiritual) self-consciousness and self-knowledge, evolving what is called the
individual mind, with all its powers and faculties, for (spiritual) perception
and real knowledge or wisdom.
6. The (ordinarily) visible so called physical body of man is not the real
Man, but merely a more or less imperfect representation of the real, or
inner man, whose sphere of activity may extend as far as the sphere of his
mind; in other wordsas far as the power of his (spiritual) perception. The
inner man is a reality, which after having attainedby the power of self
differentiationan individual existence, will retain its individuality, after
the physical forms, which it has occupied for the purposes of evolution
during its life upon a planet, have been disintegrated and changed into
other forms.
7. Every being continues to exist in its essence after the (physical) form
which expressed its essential character, has dissolved and disappeared;
but as long as it has not acquired (spiritual) self-consciousness and selfknowledge, it is forced, after a time of rest, to reappear in a new form
(mask or personality), to resume the process of its further development.2
After the divine principle in man has attained individual (spiritual) selfconsciousness and self-knowledge, it requires no more embodiments in
(physical) forms, and may, harmoniously united with the All, continue to
exist as a self-conscious intelligence.
8. The attainment of spiritual self-consciousness and self-knowledge
and the necessarily resulting perfection, therefore involves the attainment
of immortality, and the latter can only be acquired by acquiring the former.
Only that which is perfect remains; the imperfect is continually subject to
change.
9. Although the individual human monad, without (spiritual) selfconsciousness and knowledge, may arrive at that state of perfection in
the slow course of its evolution, extending perhaps over many millions of
years, nevertheless there is no necessity to wait until nature may, perhaps
54

slowly and unaided, accomplish her object, but she may be assisted by the
individual will and effort of those who know how to proceed.
10. The first necessary requirement for all who desire perfection, is
therefore to know the laws that rule in the visible and invisible universe, and
the attainment of the knowledge involves a study of the constitution of
the Universe and of the constitution of (the soul of ) Man.
11. From knowledge springs power, but those who possess knowledge,
will be in the possession of something that will not benefit them, unless
they desire to put it to some practical use. The second requirement is
therefore to will, and as an individual will, deviating from the direction
of the will of universal good, or acting in opposition to the latter, is
evil, and can only bring final destruction upon him that exercises it,
consequently the will of the individual must act in accordance with the
universal will of God.
12. To act evil is for the majority of men far easier than to do good.
Good will and desires to become useful must be made to accomplish some
work. To overcome the resistance of evil and to put good into practice
requires energy, courage and effort, and the third necessary requirement is
therefore to dare to practice the good which we know and desire.
13. But as a power, after it has once been obtained, may be employed
for good or for evil purposes, and as it is not desirable that persons with
evil inclinations and tendencies, should be taught the way to prolong their
personal existence after the dissolution of their physical form, because
their existence would cause the infliction of injury upon others, and expose
themselves to a long, slow and painful final disintegration; therefore, the
deepest secrets of the Rosicrucians, and the way to the practical application
of the secret knowledge, should be taught only to those who are good and
pure to a degree sufficient to warrant that the mysteries communicated and
revealed to them, may not be misapplied. The fourth necessary requirement
for the Rosicrucian is, therefore, to be silent, in regard to that which it is not
expedient to speak.
Notes:
1. These words are continually giving rise to misunderstandings and
misinterpretations, because nearly every one has a different opinion of
what is Good.
2. See Bhagavad-Gita, chapter 6.
