Pat Zalewski (born in Brisbane, Australia in1948) is an occultist and author. It was during the 1970s that he was introduced to the Golden Dawn and studied for a number of years as a solo practitioner. Around 1979 he contacted Jack Taylor and various members of the then defunct Whare Ra temple in New Zealand. This was the last remnant of the original Temples founded by Dr. Robert Felkin in 1912. He and Chris Zalewski founded the Thoth Hermes Temple in Wellington and became co-chiefs beside Jack Taylor in 1981. In 1983, after an eighteen month correspondence, he met Israel Regardie who travelled to new Zealand to meet him, Jack Taylor and Patrica Behmen. Leaving New Zealand in 1999 he returned to Australia and now lives in Cairns. Pat has authored ‘The Secret Inner Order Rituals of the Golden Dawn’, ‘The Equinox & Solstice Ceremonies of the Golden Dawn’, ‘Talismans and Evocations of the Golden Dawn’ and ‘Kabbalah of the Golden Dawn’ and co-authored ‘The Equinox and Solstice Ceremonies of the Golden Dawn’ and ‘Z5, Secret Teachings of the Golden Dawn’.
Christine was born in Hastings, New Zealand. She moved to Wellington in 1980. Between 1980 and 1995 she developed her knowledge and skills in natural medicine and Western Mysticism. In that period she co-ran with Pat a Golden Dawn temple Thoth Hermes and rose to 7=4 degree rank. She also studied and obtained a diploma in Professional Herbalism, and certificates in Wholistic Iris Analysis (Iridology) and Homeobotanical Therapy. Christine ran her own natural medicine practice and was also successful as a professional Tarot Reader and Astrologer. Since moving to Hawke’s Bay in 1995, Christine continues her natural medicine practice and also teaches iridology at a local Naturopathy college.
