What follows is a series of video clips from YouTube documenting the event which I took part of on March 28th, 2009, on the 100 Year Centennial Jubileum Celebration of the founding of the Rosicruian Order of Alpha et Omega in 1909 by S.L. MacGregor Mathers. This celebration was hosted by the Ahathôôr Mother Temple No. 7 which also conducted the Ceremony of the Vernal Equinox prior to my lecture. The first 7 minutes of this video actually shows some excerpts from this Equinox Ceremony, beginning with the ritual entrance of the Officers (during the first 3 minutes), followed by the admission of the Outer Order members during the last part of the Equinox Ceremony (comprising the following 2½ minutes) and ending with the reversed circumambulation during the closing of the Neophyte 0°=0° Grade. Just a note: wearing of masks is not custom during these rituals but was necessary as otherwise the identity of the members would be compromised.
What follows is the actual lecture that due to time constrains of the YouTube is presented in three successive video clips. Just follow them in descending order to watch the whole lecture, which was held before the attendants of the international Conclave. As the sound quality isn't exactly high fidelity and the fact remains that English is not my native language (or even my second), i have provided a full transcription for anyone interested in reading what actually was said. With this transcription you will also be able to watch all the illustrations from my power point presentation that I wasn't able to use at all because of technical restriction due to the fact that it was held at the lodge space of the Ahathôôr Temple. I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know what you think of it in the commentaries section.

I had already read your articles concerning this fascinating subject, but I appreciate the opportunity to actually listen and see you, and the G.D Equinox Ritual.
It is always nice to actually know the face of the people whom you read and communicate with.

Nice work, Brother.
Care Frater,
once more we must thank you for your posts and this beautiful opportunity to see the video of a Golden Dawn temple performing one of our most sacred rituals.
I have read your transcript already but it was great to see it presented also. And the Equinox ceremony was a joy. It is rare for the modern GD student to experience a ritual performed by a temple outside their own Order. So what you present here is a wonderful gift. Obviously there were variations in the rubric from our Order, so it was like hearing a beloved piece of music by a new group.
Thank you again for making the effort for the greater GD community. Those masks would have been hot too :)
Thank you my dear Fratres. It makes me happy that you have enjoyed it.

Dear Frater SR,
My sound is out on my computer so I was unable to listen to the lecture. However, I am overjoyed that the topic was discussed. I am sure you did a wonderful job and envy those who were able to listen to it.
Warm Regards,
Olen
Care Fra. A.M.,

I am pleased to announce that we have just uploaded another dozen or so videos, this time for our Golden Dawn brothers in the German, French, and Spanish speaking parts of the world.
