	William Wynn Westcott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Wynn Westcott (November 17, 1848 - July 30, 1925) was a British esotericist, coronor, ceremonial magician, and Freemason.
		He devised and organized the Golden Dawn's rituals with Mathers and William Robert Woodman, who preceded him as Supreme Magus of the S.R.I.A. and like Westcott was one of the foremost exponents of Hermeticism of the time.
		In 1896, he abandoned public involvement with the Golden Dawn due to pressure regarding his job as a Crown Coroner, with which it was seen as an unseemly association.

	William Wynn Westcott and the Esoteric School
		Westcott was as enthusiastic as Irwin over these, for he enjoyed working the rituals — he had told Irwin, in 1875, that 'as a Freemason I prefer the ceremonies and try to limit the banquetting' — and his activities within these Orders and Rites shed no little light on his attitude towards Freemasonry in general.
		Westcott's enthusiasm for the Order of Eri stemmed in large part from the fact of its members being drawn from the ranks of another body which was to become the centre of his entire masonic career; the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia.
		Westcott must have suspected that some such charge would be forthcoming, for he had in 1898 obtained a statement from Albert Essinger, a director of Westcott's 'Sanitary Wood Wool Co. Ltd.', to the effect that he had 'translated German letters, and wrote letters in German for him to correspondents in Germany at his dictation'.

		Dr. William Wynn Westcott was born in Leamington, Warkwickshire, England on December 17, 1848.
		Westcott was described by associates of his time as "docile, scholarly, industrious, addicted to regalia and histrionics." He seems to have had no "girlfriends" in the ordinarily accepted sense, but had a great many "platonic" friendships with female initiates.
		Both Dr. Westcott and Mathers (Dr. Woodman died very early on in the Golden Dawn's history) were both honest, hermetic scholars, and the teaching of their members fell on their shoulders.

	Byzant Scriptorium - The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
		The story goes that Westcott was sent parts of a strange, encrypted document by a Reverend Woodford, a Mason and Hermeticist, who claimed to have found it in a London bookstall.
		Once Westcott had deciphered the manuscript, it turned out to be an outline for the rituals and teachings of a magical order, with instructions to contact Sapiens Dominabitur Astris, in care of Anna Sprengel in Hanover.
		Westcott did this and was told that he could found "an elementary branch of the Rosicrucian Order in England." Mathers helped to craft workable rituals from outlines in the document, and the Golden Dawn was born.

	Numbers - Their Occult Power And Mystic Virtues By W. Wynn Westcott
		William Wynn Westcott (1848-1925) took a prominent part in the Freemasons, but he intended to go much further, so he became a founder of the Golden Dawn, and he was intimately involved in the machinations and politics that was to cause the downfall of the organisation.
		We all know about Liber 777 and its contribution to gematria and numbers, but Wyn Westcott was a scholar who had a profound grasp of the classics, which resulted in this book, which gives a greater perspective on the role and power of numbers throughout the centuries.
		Unfortunately, Tarot inherited this weakness in the importance and understanding of number theory, which I hope will start to be addressed by this almost forgotten classic by Wynn Westcott.
