* The Territory of Poyais was invented by Scottish adventurer and South American independence hero Gregor MacGregor in the early 19th century.

On the basis of a land grant made to him by the Anglophile native King of the Mosquito people in what is present-day Honduras, MacGregor wove one of history's most elaborate hoaxes, managing to charm the highest levels of London's political and financial establishment with tales of the bucolic, resource-rich country he claimed to rule as a benevolent sovereign prince, or " Cazique ", when he arrived in the UK in 1822.

The book Reincarnation in Christianity, by the theosophist Geddes MacGregor ( 1978 ) asserted that Origen believed in reincarnation.

MacGregor is convinced that Origen believed in and taught about reincarnation but that his texts written about the subject have been destroyed.

Mathers and Westcott have been credited for developing the ritual outlines in the Cipher Manuscripts into a workable format.

The historian Charles Upham, writing in 1869 says that both Mathers " are answerable ... more that almost any other ... for the opinions of their time.

Boston merchant Robert Calef began his eight-year campaign against the influential Mathers.

In 1914, the historian George Lincoln Burr sided with Upham in a note on Thomas Brattle's letter, " The strange suggestion of W. F. Poole that Brattle here means Cotton Mather himself, is adequately answered by Upham ..." Burr also reprinted Calef in full and dug deep into the historical record for information on the man and concludes "... that he had else any grievance against the Mathers or their colleagues there is no reason to think.

Westcott asked for Mathers ' help to turn the manuscripts into a coherent system for lodge work.

Mathers in turn asked fellow Freemason William Robert Woodman to assist the two and he accepted.

Westcott claimed to receive a wise reply which conferred honorary grades of Adeptus Exemptus on Westcott, Mathers, and Woodman and chartered a Golden Dawn temple consisting of the five grades outlined in the manuscripts.

A few years after this, Mathers founded the Ahathoor temple in Paris.

In 1892, Mathers claimed a link to the Secret Chiefs had been formed and supplied rituals for the Second Order, called the Red Rose and Cross of Gold.

Later in 1916, Westcott claimed that Mathers also constructed these rituals from materials he received from Frater Lux ex Tenebris, a purported Continental Adept.

In 1896 or 1897, Westcott broke all ties to the Golden Dawn, leaving Mathers in control.

After Westcott's departure, Mathers appointed Florence Farr to be Chief Adept in Anglia, and Dr. Henry B. Pullen Burry succeeded Westcott as Cancellarius — one of the three Chiefs of the Order.

However, due to personality clashes with other members and absences from the center of Lodge activity in Great Britain, challenges to Mathers ' authority as leader developed among the members of the Second Order.

Towards the end of 1899, the Adepts of the Isis-Urania and Amen-Ra temples had become dissatisfied with Mathers ' leadership as well as his growing friendship with Crowley.

They were also anxious to make contact with the Secret Chiefs themselves, instead of relying on Mathers.

Mathers overrode their decision and quickly initiated him at the Ahathoor temple in Paris on January 16, 1900.
