MOHere’s the real secret: the Golden Dawn’s influence didn’t just transform the world of occultism. They were teaching techniques for transforming the self that wouldn’t be discovered by modern psychology until decades later. Figures like Carl Jung were deeply interested in occult secrets like alchemy and Gnosticism and he used techniques like active imagination, and symbols that were extremely similar to those used in the Golden Dawn to tap into the unconscious mind. The idea of integrating opposites within the self is a direct nod to the occult practice of alchemy taught in groups like the Golden Dawn.
