 The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn ® / Samuel Liddell Mathers
Mathers’ supposed highland ancestry and inherited title of Comte de Glenstrae is pure fantasy, and Annie Horniman certainly had a role in the Matherses decision to move to Paris.
Mathers was initiated in Freemasonry on October 4, 1877 at Hengist Lodge at Bournemouth.
The problems that developed between Samuel Mathers, Annie Horniman, and the rest of the London Adepts, resulting in the Golden’s Dawn’s break-up is documented in the History of the Golden Dawn.

 Llewellyn Encyclopedia: Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers
Well before the time the Golden Dawn was formally founded in 1888, Mathers had begun to insist that he was descended from the MacGregors, the outlaw "nameless clan" of Scottish Highlands legend, and adopted the title Comte de Glenstrae, which he claimed was conferred on an ancestor by Louis XV of France.
Mathers’ unstable behavior lost him that position by 1892, however, and he and Mina (who changed her name to the more Celtic-sounding Moina) moved to Paris.
In his last years, Mathers continued to run the Alpha et Omega, and also wrote and performed a series of public rituals, the Rites of Isis, which attracted favorable attention from the Paris occult scene as well as the cultural avant-garde.

 Mathers: The Mountain Temple & Order of the Golden Dawn
Samuel Liddell Mathers was the most important of the group of founders of the Golden Dawn, and is responsible for most of its written rituals and other documents that are still in print and in use today by a wide variety of Golden Dawn offshoots.
Mathers was apparently an autodidact (self-taught) and was proficient in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, Celtic and Coptic.
Mathers as well as other early founders of the G.D. such as the aforementioned Westcott and Woodman, and more, often met at the British Museum or haunted the nearby bookshops to study and discuss Masonry, Rosicrucianism, and the Western ceremonial magic tradition.

 S. L. MacGregor Mathers
S.L. "MacGregor" Mathers was one of the most important, and certainly the most-misunderstood, occult figures of the late nineteenth century.
He married Mina, or Moina, Bergson, sister of Henri Bergson, the philosopher, whom Mathers attempted, unsuccessfully, to convert to a belief in magic.
Mathers added "MacGregor" to his name in the belief that he was descended from the Scots clan, styled himself Comte de Glenstrae, and was imbued with Jacobite ardour for the restoration of the House of Stuart to the British throne.

MacGregor Mathers, from one who knew him well during a certain period of his life.
The death of Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, which took place - at Paris - towards the end of last November, recalls a host of old memories, and, as it is unlikely that they will be put otherwise on record, I am making these rough notes concerning them for the information of occult readers.
Some other melancholy votary of that sanctuary made us known to one another in the end, and he proved to be S.L. Mathers, for the MacGregor prefix had not as yet been adopted.

 Aleister Crowley: The Biography Project
Led by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers other members included such notables such as William Butler Yeats, Maud Gonne, Constance Wilde, (the wife of Oscar Wilde), Arthur Machen, Moina Bergson, Arthur Edward Waite, Florence Farr, Algernon Blackwood and possibly, though records for their membership are shaky, Sax Rohmer and Bram Stoker.
Mathers adapted the system of magic outlined by Eliphas Levi, and through Levi, the spiritual ancestry of the Golden Dawn was traced to the Rosicrucian Brotherhood and from there, through the Kabbalah to Ancient Egypt.
Mathers' authority was held in part by his link to the "Secret Chiefs", the "true leaders" of the Order, with whom Mathers could communicate with only through metaphysical means.

 Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn - WiccanWeb.ca
Mathers was responsible for the Rosicrucian inner order of the Golden Dawn being established where practical magic was taught.
Mathers later claimed the letters were forgeries, but it seems unlikely that Westcott or Mathers wrote the Manuscripts themselves, as some believe.
Both Westcott and Mathers, and their original partner Dr. W.R. Woodman, were all members of the SRIA, which uses a Grade system almost identical to the one described in the Manuscripts.

 The Golden Dawn
The group was founded in the year 1888 by William Wynn Westcott (1848-1925), a doctor, and a master mason, William Robert Woodman, also a doctor and a mason, and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers (1854-1918), who was also a mason.
Mathers, who was also a mason, was a flamboyant character with a romantic leaning to all things Celtic.
The fact that Mathers managed to fuse all of this material into a working coherent system is his great legacy.
