    Dear John,

    >> I was in the process of trying to find the best approach to studying
    the Golden Dawn traditions when I discovered Franz Bardon. <<

    Franz Bardon's works are not considered to be part of the Golden Dawn
    tradition, even though they spring from the same essential culture of
    Hermeticism and Western Occultism/Magic. Bardon's system of
    study/practice is not ritual-based. In other words, it's not about
    performing ceremonial rituals or learning a foreign vocabulary, etc.
    Instead, it's a self-transformative process filled with exercises that
    teach you the actual techniques of magic and train your actual magical
    abilities. There's lots of meditation and introspection involved! :)

    >> I am a seeker of truth whose primary connection to the Divine has
    been through Christianity in the past, though I've been questioning my
    beliefs for some time now and would not be considered a "practicing"
    Christian, but I am certainly a practicing seeker. <<

    I think about the only actual prerequisite for beginning Bardon's system
    is that one be a "practicing seeker". :) What religion you choose to
    adhere to is never a barrier. The path of Hermetic initiation that
    Bardon presented is not a religious system so it can fit into any
    religious practice.

    >> I would appreciate advice as to the best way begin my study. <<

    I suggest that you get a copy of Bardon's first book, "Initiation Into
    Hermetics" and read that from cover to cover. In my opinion, that'd be
    the best place to start. :)

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
