Robert Hagar is the chief of the Bennu-Wadjet Lodge in Formation in Bakersfield, California. He started his path in occult study in the 80's when he walked into a B-Dalton bookstore and discovered The Golden Dawn by Israel Regardie. He was a member of now defunct Bennu-Kheper Lodge where he served the office of Premonstrator.
The presentation began with a history of the Golden Dawn followed by a journey of a Fool named Fred. The Journey took Fred through the application process through adept.
Robert spoke of what the Golden Dawn is to accomplish for the student. The final portion of the presentation involved how modern Neo-Paganism borrowed from the Golden Dawn system. To show that Golden Dawn Occults are not a bunch of pompous elitists complaining that everyone takes their stuff, Robert showed that the Golden Dawn also borrowed from Egyptian and Jewish mysticism along with other occultist's work.
The talk was well presented and very informative overview of The Golden Dawn system of Magick. The material presented had the potential to be dry and go over one's head. Robert's presentation style made the class enjoyable and easy to find the gems of knowledge. Robert Hagar is definitely someone to watch for in the occult scene. I highly recomend The Golden Dawn: the work and the fruit, to anyone interested in or curious about The Golden Dawn system of Magick.
