GDF111 ACTION REPORT of Magic Festival
Golden Dawn Festival 111,
21st to 22nd Nov,1998 at Tokyo, JAPAN
The programme of Golden Dawn Festival was inspired by some leading
magicians in Japan. They are called magicians of O∴H∴.
But this order consisted by elder brethren has no working staffs,
only adepti, so young magicians of I∴O∴S∴ were supported them.
This event was very expensive one for staffs, needing about 1000,000 yens
(approx nine thousands U.S. dollars). Elders found this risk and have
donated to support running costs for event programmes.
We started the most hot magic programme in 1998 at Tokyo,
by the name of ### 111th Anniversary of the Golden Dawn !!! ###
Festival was played by japanese magicians learned by same golden dawn
tradition.
Despite of no direct descendants of Golden Dawn Traditionin Japan,
many of magicians were trainned by Golden Dawn Methods including same
symbolism and kabbalistic structures.
So they are the children of Westcott and Mathers.

FAQ of GDF111:
Q: Why 111th ? not 110th ?
A: In Japan, we celebrate 111, 222, or 333 as same as100, 200 or 300.
Generaly speaking, 111 is more qabalistic numeral period than 110, 111
is summing of Kamea of Sun (Magic Square of Sun) and transformed into
the hebrew sentence "AChAD HVA ALHIM"(Achad hua elohim;He is one god.) .
In theosophical subtraction, 111=1 plus 1 plus 1=3,
so it means three times greater anniversary of 1st year of the Order,1888.
Q: Is there a Western Magic Tradition in Japan?
A: Yes!! There are several Magical Orders in Japan.
This festival is supported by some of them, for exampleO.:H.:,
I.:O.:S.: These elder brethren chaired this commitee,
and working staffs from all other groups.
Q: Will I expect magical harassments of japanese native esoterists,
such as tantric buddhists or shamans ?
A: Absolutely not!! Japanese Tantra Orders or Shintoism Shrines
have long history and not aggressive now. After AUM muder cases,
japanese dangerous cults are weakened. Of course, unappropriate persons
will be expelled byour security volunteers called Occult Cops!!
