A fictionalized version of the RealLife occultist organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, once the largest and most influential magical cabal in the world back in the 19th century, as well as Aleister Crowley's former cabal. Despite having long been disbanded by the time of the story, the existence of the Golden Dawn and the actions of its members would have a profound and lasting impact on the Magic Side as it currently exists, with many elements and issues tracing their origin back to the golden cabal. And most importantly, Crowley's past affiliation to the cabal would play a large part in shaping up the man he would become and fuel his plans for the world.
At the end of New Testament Vol. 20, [[spoiler:its members would mysteriously be brought back to life and would once again shake up the world of magic]].

!!Tropes common to the group:
* BreakingTheFellowship: Constant internal strifes would eventually culminate in the Battle of Blythe Road in 1900, after which the cabal would be broken up for good.
* HermeticMagic: Hermeticism was their speciality and essentially the foundation of the cabal, being a field of magic derived from mixing different mythological formats, including Myth/{{Classical Mythology}}, Myth/{{Egyptian Mythology}}, and {{UsefulNotes/Kabbalah}} among others. [[spoiler:However, this fusion has for effects of bringing the phases involved closer together and increasing the collisions between them, creating more "sparks" of misfortune for humans]].

!!Samuel Liddell [=MacGregor=] Mathers
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sam_mathers.png]]
A famous British magician and one of the three founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the largest magic cabal in the United Kingdom and a world-renowned cabal. Mathers was also the man who recruited Aleister Crowley into the Golden Dawn and acted as one of his mentors, though their relationship ultimately turned sour.
-----
* TheArchmage: One of the most powerful magician of his time, and the head of the world's most powerful cabal.
* ElementalPowers: Has mastery over all four elements, as well as their [[UsefulNotes/{{Aristotelianism}} Aristotelian]] qualities.
* EsotericMotifs: Mathers' primary weapons are his four Symbolic Weapons, spiritual items taking the form of the four objects of Western ceremonial magic from this trope.
* FakeAristocrat: Believed himself to have Scottish noble blood and sought to restore UsefulNotes/TheHouseOfStuart.
* FoolishHusbandResponsibleWife: He was unemployed but was more preoccupied with esoteric matters, much to his wife Mina's chagrin.
* OurFounder: Of the Golden Dawn, and by association one of the originators of modern Western magic. In the present-day, he is as famous as Aleister Crowley among magicians.
* HappilyMarried: Despite their financial situation, his marriage with Mina was solid. Aleister admits this is one of the things he was jealous about.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Like every member of Golden Dawn, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Liddell_MacGregor_Mathers Mathers]] was a RealLife occultist and did found the Order. However, his fictional counterpart died way earlier and differently than he did in history, being killed during the Battle of Blythe Road in 1900 while the actual Mathers died in 1918.
* LastNameBasis: Mostly referred to as Mathers.
* SummonMagic: Extremely profficient in summoning magic, fitting for a man called "evoker of spirits" in RealLife. [[spoiler:He was the one who summoned Coronzon to destroy Aleister after all]].
* TarotMotifs: Is actually a grimoire made up of Tarot cards. His Symbolic Weapons are also the symbols used for the Minor Arcana deck of the Tarot.
* VirtualGhost: The Mathers who actually appears in the story is actually a perfect reproduction of the man using Tarot cards to create living grimoires.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/horos.png]]
Not technically a member of the Golden Dawn, but its mysterious [[OurFounder founder]], an alleged member of a German magic cabal who supposedly gave William Wynn Westcott permission to start his own cabal in a series of letters. She resurfaces during the Coronzon to propose her help to Takitsubo in helping Hamazura now that he's pursued for allying with Coronzon.
In reality, she is a fraud who posed as Anna Sprengel, which Mathers believed for a time, before she brought ruins to the Golden Dawn and made off with crucial cabal documents.
----
* ConMan: Madame Horos is a professional fraud and swindler.
* CrystalBall: She uses one as a grimoire and a "combat module" that can generate BeamSpam. She lends it to Takitsubo on the pretext that it allows an esper to use magic, but it actually allows her to MindControl her.
* FlowerMotifs: Roses, in her role as Anna Sprengel and a Rosicrucian magician.
* HijackingCthulhu: She somehow managed to possess the body of the real Anna Sprengel, one of the most powerful people in the setting.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: She was a real person, who went by Swami Laura Horos as well as many other aliases, the most common of which was [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_O%27Delia_Diss_Debar Ann O'Delia Diss Debar]]. Her reputation as a ConMan and PhonyPsychic was even known to Creator/HarryHoudini, who called her "one of the most extraordinary fake mediums and mystery swindlers the world has ever known".
* ManipulativeBastard: She pretends to offer help to Takitsubo, but is actually planning to kill Hamazura while using her.
* SymbolMotifClothing: Roses and crosses are all over her clothing.

!!Anna Kingsford
[[quoteright:762:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anna_kingsford_5.png]]
A brilliant magician and the mentor of Golden Dawn founders Mathers and Westcott. She passed away a century ago, shortly before the cabal was founded.
----
* AndIMustScream: Anna possesses a film can filled with parchment charms that she fills with planetary power and works based on the link between the microcosm and the macrocosm (the foundational theory that lets esper abilities and magic to work). Activating the spell allows Anna to separate the target's organs and limbs from their body and seal each of them in a charm inside the film can, keeping the victim alive and conscious but completely unable to move or escape.
* TheArchmage: She was the mentor of two of the founders of Golden Dawn before her death, of which Mathers is already recognized as one of the most powerful magicians in the world. She can battle the likes of Aiwass to a standstill and is described as a "goddess" of magical knowledge. Even Anna Sprengel is terrified to face her in combat. As the narration puts it:
-->"Trying to outdo Anna Kingsford in the field of magic was a mistake in and of itself. If you could not sense that, you were best off staying silent and doing as little as possible for as long as it took for you to understand."
* BackFromTheDead: She died shortly before the founding of Golden Dawn but is resurrected by [[spoiler:Aleister Crowley to face Anna Sprengel.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Anna is a kind woman who believes that magic should be open to everyone and used for the benefit of mankind. But she also holds magicians to absurdly high standards because of her ideals and will take down anyone who uses magic for ill. She became so well known for this that [[TheDreaded the thought of facing her wrath]] sends [[HorrifyingTheHorror chills down Anna Sprengel's spine]]. [[spoiler:When Kingsford is resurrected to take down Sprengel, the resulting fight is a complete CurbStompBattle in Kingsford's favor.]]
* BroughtDownToBadass: Anna notes that her body is too fragile to withstand her full magical powers following her resurrection. She's still a frighteningly powerful magician, to the point that [[spoiler:Anna Sprengel, who is as powerful as the entire Magic Side and can easily defeat Level 5 espers like Mikoto, is curb-stomped by Kingsford.]]
* TheFaceless: She's alluded to but not seen until [[spoiler:she's reanimated by Crowley to face Anna Sprengel.]]
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: She's based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Kingsford a real-life person and occultist]] who also campaigned for women's rights.
* HumanWeapon: When she's brought BackFromTheDead, [[spoiler:Aleister]] gives her an "off switch", reducing her back to an inert body until she's turned back "on". This effectively puts her on the leash and makes her an autonomous weapon under [[spoiler:Aleister's]] control. She lets this slide in the present; but threatens to turn against the person who resuscitated her if she's deployed in a manner that harms the common people.
* MentorArchetype: She was the mentor to Westcott and Mathers, the two founders of the most powerful magical cabal in the United Kingdom.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She died a century ago, but when she's resurrected she looks like a woman in her thirties at most. This is attributed to the lipids and hyaluronan injected into her body during the resurrection process.
* SayItWithHearts: While speaking to others, she somehow includes emojis and stars in her dialogue.
-->'''Anna:''' I simply wish to aid the 🙂 around me☆
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Upon her resurrection, she's introduced with opaque glasses reflecting the light as she approaches a terrified [[spoiler:Anna Sprengel,]].
* SimpleYetAwesome: She eschews the elaborate rituals utilized by magicians like Fiamma and Anna Sprengel, instead sticking to common spells and simple ceremonies that anyone can learn. But she's honed them to the point that each one of her spells can be considered a special move that can quickly overwhelm mere magical "experts". In addition, the simplicity of her magic means that she doesn't need special items or preconditions to use it, eliminating the conditional weaknesses that plague many magicians. She can also attack suddenly and without warning, casting her simple spells without even using an incantation. [[spoiler:She halts one of Anna Sprengel's attacks in mid-air with ease and isolates her in space before sealing Sprengel inside of a film can.]]
* WideEyedIdealist: Anna believes that magic should be a tool that everyone can use and that magicians are obligated to help those in need, a far cry from the political grappling and acts of terror inflicted by magicians more than a century after her death. She's incensed by the thought of magicians inflicting malicious harm or causing more damage than necessary, enforcing her "absurdly high" standards by going after wrongdoers. Anna goes so far as to say that she simply wishes to aid the smiles of the people around her.
