| Combat | ATK 35 DEF 75 SPR 88 SPD 60 INT 92 |
| Rank | Crowley's secretary (1928-1932) / Adept of the Stella Matutina / Chiropractor / Author |
| Domain | The publication of the Golden Dawn system; psychotherapeutic integration of magic; the bridge between Crowley's Thelema and traditional Golden Dawn ceremonial |
| Alignment | Esoteric / Hermetic |
| Weakness | Broke his oaths to publish the Golden Dawn material -- a betrayal in the eyes of traditionalists, even those who agreed it was necessary; his integration of Reichian therapy with magic remains controversial |
| Key Act | Published *The Golden Dawn* (4 volumes, 1937-1940) -- the complete, previously oath-bound curriculum of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Wrote *The Tree of Life* (1932), *The Middle Pillar* (1938), *The Eye in the Triangle* (1970, on Crowley) |
| Source | Regardie, *The Golden Dawn* (1937-40); *The Middle Pillar* (1938); *The Eye in the Triangle* (1970) |
Francis Israel Regudy (Anglicized to Regardie) is Crowley’s secretary (1928-1932) before they split bitterly. He then joins the Stella Matutina, a Golden Dawn successor order, takes its grades, and — breaking every oath — publishes the entire system as The Golden Dawn (1937-1940). His reasoning: the system is too important to die in private orders; occultism needs publication and rigor, not secrecy; only public availability preserves the tradition for serious students. He is almost certainly right. Without his defection, the Golden Dawn synthesis likely evaporates by the 1960s with the last initiates’ deaths. With it, every serious twentieth and twenty-first century magician has access. He spends his later years as a California chiropractor and Reichian therapist, dies in 1985 having outlived nearly everyone he quarreled with.
