The Shocking Truth about Satanism & Blood Sacrifice in Robert Zink's Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn

Cultwatch Satanist Rape & Kidnapping Report!
Last week reports emerged on the Cultwatch Blog that Robert Zink's Order of the Morning Star changed its name to the Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn in the wake of last Summer's Cult rape and kidnapping scandal involving the Order of the Morning Star in Durham, NC.

EOGD members were quick to point out that the arrested Order of the Morning Star Chiefs, Joy Johnson and Joseph Craig were Satanists and to claim that they have no relationship to Robert Zink or to his Order of the Morning Star that changed its name to EOGD immediately following the arrest of the OMS Co-Chiefs.

This is, however, not the first time that Robert Zink's order has been accused of Satanic cult-like activities. Indeed, their own website includes extremely suspicious denials that they practice blood sacrifice in their Golden Dawn rituals.

Robert Zink Introduces Blood Sacrifice into

Golden Dawn Rituals

Let us examine Robert Zink's denial that his order has introduced blood sacrifice into Golden Dawn rituals. Robert Zink writes:

The claim that we practice any form of blood sacrifice is absurd and misleading; first of all, he offers no clear description of what he believes is in fact, being practiced by the Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn, he makes only one vague reference to it being dangerous and adjacent to Satanism. We will never endorse in any way asking anyone to do anything contrary to their civil, moral or religious duties; we vehemently repudiate the very notion of practicing blood sacrifice; this has never been within the corpus of tradition as handed down through S.L. Macgregor Mathers, and we strictly adhere to these traditions. Blood sacrifices have never been, nor is it, nor will it ever be practiced by the Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn, nor has this ever been practiced under the name Hermetic Order of the Morning Star; Mr. Zink nor any of his associates would in any way endorse the practice of blood sacrifices. The Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn will never, in way ask anyone to do anything contrary to their civil, moral or religious duties in any ritual or practice. In fact, the chiefs of the Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn, fully endorse and will ardently defend, anyone's right and duty to refuse any act, ritual or practice that they feel to be in any way incongruent with their civil, moral or religious duties.

Let us examine the disingenuousness of Robert Zink's assertion that:

Blood sacrifices have never been, nor is it, nor will it ever be practiced by the Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn, nor has this ever been practiced under the name Hermetic Order of the Morning Star; Mr. Zink nor any of his associates would in any way endorse the practice of blood sacrifices.

In order to understand how misleading this carefully worded denial actually is, the reader must first consider that the order led by Robert Anthony Zink has changed its name over the years like a chameleon changes colors. It has been called the "Eternal Golden Dawn," the "Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn International," the "Hermetic Order of the Morning Star" and the "Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn." Likewise, Robert Zink himself uses a plethora of aliases, which include "The Amazing Zinga," "G.H. Frater P.C.A.," "G.H. Frater P.D.R.," "zanoni49," and "rapiddominance."

The careful wording of the above denial only becomes understandable when one first considers that Robert Zink is aware of the evidence documenting his introduction of blood sacrifice into Golden Dawn rituals of the is has been available to download free on the internet. Zink also knows that this evidence comes from the original compilation of materials for the curriculum and rituals of Robert Zink's order. Thus, Zink carefully states that blood sacrifice is not practiced by either HOMSI or the EOGD, because he knows that the evidence predates his order using either of these names! Moreover, his claim that:
Robert Zink would never endorse any sort of blood sacrifice
is equally disingenuous, since Zink knows that the evidence links his alias, GH Frater P.C.A., to the introduction of blood sacrifice into the rituals, rather his civil name, Robert Zink. Thus, the apparently clear denials, when examined carefully, disintegrate into a puddle of disingenuousness and deception.

On another occasions, Robert Zink has alternatively argued that the rituals produced as evidence have somehow been altered or changed to include blood sacrifice. This argument is equally false and unsupported by the facts. On the contrary, the documents are completely authentic and date from the earliest phase of Robert Zink's order. The documents were provided by one of the original compilers of the material and have not been changed or altered in any way.

Additionally, the authenticity of these documents has been independently verified by several former Adepts of Robert Zink's order. Moreover, the evidence of blood sacrifice included in the documents is corroborated by the testimony of former Adepts of Zink's order as well, who still have the scars on their clavicles to prove it.

The Adeptus Minor initiation ritual of the Golden Dawn, with its Egyptian, Rosicrucian, and Christian symbolism is one of the most beautiful and sublime rituals of the entire curriculum of the order. It is also the introduction to the HOGD's second order, the RR+AC. Sadly, Robert Zink's "Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn" has introduced not only blood sacrifice, but the ritual flogging and scarring of candidates as well into this originally magnificent ritual.

Robert Zink's own words (writing under his known alias as G.H. Frater P.C.A.) indicate that he is personally responsible for the introduction of blood sacrifice into this ritual. The EOGD document entitled
Analysis of the 5=6 Initiation., RR+AC, Zelator Adeptus Minor, by GH Frater P.C.A
is available in the originally compiled 5=6 material of Robert Zink's order as "1-3.pdf." In his analysis of his order's version of the Adeptus Minor initiation ritual, Robert Zink attempts to justify this unethical and dangerous deviation, when he writes:

The Cut

In the tradition of the ancients, blood must be shed. It symbolizes that our Adepts now mix or pull their blood together as one.

Let us now examine the text of the Adeptus Minor ritual itself, as revised for use by Robert Zink's order. Particularly noteworthy are the inclusions of ritual flogging and blood sacrifice. The Zink version of this ritual, entitled "RR et AC 32.Doc, Adeptus Minor Initiation, RR et AC" is available in the originally compiled 5=6 material for Zink's order as "adeptrit.pdf" and reads as follows on pages 31-34:

Chief: "Now is the final consecration in the tradition of the ancients. We seal this rite with the most mystical mark, the mark of membership of the Roseae Rubeae et Aurea Cruces."

(Hodos removes the aspirant's robe to let him receive the mark.)

Third Adept (hands the razor blade to the Chief.)

Chief: "The cut that you are to receive upon your clavicle is symbolic of the neck, which is also symbolic of the void that you must cross for the achievement of the Great Work and the uniting with your Higher Genius. It is also symbolical of the blood that you are willing to shed to defend this Order and the principles of Divine Light. Let the blood that drips from your wound symbolically mix with the blood that has been previously shed by the Adepti that have gone before you. May it also be the reminder that you must never shed the blood of any of your Brethren of the R.R et A.C. either by word, action or by the sword. Finally, let the blood that pours forth from the wound be a reminder that should you ever turn against what you know to be is your True Will, the Brethren of the R.R. et A.C., the Chiefs of the Second Order and the Guardians both Angelic and physical that guard the Order, may all of your magical powers cease and may your blood be shed. Do you understand, and do you
agree to this most solemn pledge?" (Chief places the cut upon the aspirant).

Here we see that Robert Zink has introduced both ritual bloodshed and the scarring of candidates into GD rituals. These deviations, however, do not appear to satisfy Robert Zink's perversions, however, since he has also included a sado-masochistic twist into the Adeptus Minor ritual as well. On page 12 of the same, above referenced manuscript, the candidate is required to submit to ritual flogging as follows:

Second: "O aspirant, ere thou canst enter the Tomb of the Adepti of the Rose of Ruby and the Cross of Gold, it is necessary to take a solemn obligation of secrecy, fidelity, fraternity, and justice. But as in all the previous obligations, there is nothing contained therein contrary to thy civil, moral, or religious duties.

Art thou willing to take such a pledge?"

Aspirant: "I am."

(Hodos pulls up aspirant's robe over the head.)

Second: "Are you willing to receive the stripes upon your back as a symbol of your willingness to martyr your flesh in the protection of this Order?"

(Aspirant answers.)

Hodos: (Removes the robe. Using the whip, he lashes the aspirant 10 times which is symbolic of the 10 sephiroth.)

Second Adept: "Let the aspirant be bound to the Cross of Suffering."

Nowhere in Golden Dawn rituals or teachings are any instances whatsoever of blood sacrifice, ritual scarring, or the sado-masochistic flogging of candidates. All of these deviations and perversions have been introduced exclusively into Robert Zink's order.

Finally, let us examine the EOGD document entitled "Ritual 5, RR et AC, Zelator Adeptus Minor, 5=6," which is available in the originally compiled 5=6 material for Robert Zink's order as "zam21.pdf." "Ritual 5" begins innocently enough, with adaptations of classical magical formulae traditionally associated with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The first indication that this ritual might not be as traditional as it first appears, however, comes already on page 2 of the above referenced manuscript, where among the items required for the ritual, "razor blades"
are listed. The ritual begins with an adaptation of purification and consecration of the temple with water and fire, followed by an invocation of the elements using traditional pentagrams, Qabalistic names, and sigils.

Things take a more sinister turn, however, as "Ritual 5" reaches its crescendo on pages 12 and 13, when the officiating Chief Adept invokes aggressive Martial forces using the Qabalistic names Elohim Gibor and Kamael. This sets the stage for the blood sacrifice so typical of Robert Zink's order, this time, however, for the magical purpose of desecrating and destroying enemies! This is documented on pages 12-13 of the above referenced manuscript contained in "zam21.pdf" as follows:

LL: "I am Frater/Soror _________ of the R.R. et A.C., loyal Adept and subject unto the infinite mercy and power of Light."

(Cuts self.)

"In the name of the Vast and Mighty One, in the name of all the gods who symbolically stand guard around this Temple and Order, in the name of Elohim Gibor, the Mighty and Terrible One, I shed this blood as a symbol of the blood that must not be shed by those who would interpose against my will and service to Divine Light."

(Returns to position.)

(When all have finished the invocation and the cutting, all Adepts move around the Altar of the Universe and touch the sword that is held up high while saying in unison:)

All: "You who would destroy me, be thou destroyed! You who would desecrate this Temple or Order by intentional acts of malice, be thou desecrated! By all the forces and powers invoked here this day, and by the power of the blood of the Rose, as it is desired, so shall it be!"

(All move back to original positions.)

Thus we see, in evidence presented from original EOGD/EGD documents that, despite Robert Zink's vacuous denials, he has indeed included in Golden Dawn rituals not only blood-sacrifice, but the ritual scarring and flogging of candidates as well.

Moreover, due to the destructive intention of the blood sacrifice included in "Ritual 5," Zink has deviated the teachings and rituals of the Golden Dawn in a decidedly black magical direction. The blood sacrifice with black magical intent of "Ritual 5," makes Robert Zink's order members that their order has anything to do with Satanism sound vacuous.
