The Ciceros
____________
"Just as Israel Regardie rescued the Golden Dawn from oblivion, so have the Ciceros, with their unrivaled grasp of magical practice, maintained it as a living tradition made available to all.(..) They are indeed true magicians of the Golden Dawn." R.A.Gilbert
Chic Cicero
Charles “Chic” Cicero was born in Buffalo, New York. An early love of music, particularly of the saxophone, resulted in Chic's many years of experience as a lead musician in several jazz, blues and rock ensembles, working with many famous performers in the music industry.
He has been a practicing ceremonial magician for the past forty years. Chic's interest in freemasonry and the western esoteric tradition resulted in research articles on rosicrucianism and the knights templar, printed in such publications as Ars Quatuor Coronatorum and the 1996–2000 Transactions of the Metropolitan College of the SRIA .
Chic is a member of several masonic, martinist and rosicrucian organizations. He was also a close personal friend and confidant of Israel Regardie. Having established a Golden Dawn temple in 1977, Chic was one of the key people who helped Regardie to resurrect a legitimate, initiatory branch of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the United States in the early 1980s.
Sandra “Tabatha” Cicero was born in Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin. Her areas of interest include drawing, painting, poetry, theatre, dance and printmaking (lithography, etching and silk-screen). A lifelong fascination with the creative arts has served to inspire her work in the magical world. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts in 1982, Tabatha worked as an entertainer, typesetter, editor, commercial artist and computer graphics illustrator.

Sandra Tabatha Cicero
Tabatha is a member of several Co-Masonic, Martinist, and Rosicrucian organizations. She met Chic in the early 1980s and the Golden Dawn system of magic has been her primary spiritual focus ever since. She spent five years working on the paintings for The Golden Dawn Magical Tarot, which she began on the encouragement of Israel Regardie. Together, Chic and Tabatha are two of the Chief Adepts of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
