==Life==
Moina's family moved around Europe and eventually settled in [[London]]. At the age of 15, she flourished as a student of arts and befriended a writer named [[Annie Horniman]]. Annie introduced her new friend to the brotherhood of Assassins. Moina never developed a strong religious faith and since the brotherhood sought protecting free thoughts by any means, she welcomed the group’s free spirit.


In 1887, it was arranged for Moina to pretend to take interest in Samuel Mathers, a rising star in a group of occultists who were planning to build one of the most influential secret societies in the British Empire. The Assassins knew that Samuel was being funded by the Templars and Mina suspected that the powerful group was secretly guiding her life. The Templars were seeking a mystical [[The Book|book]] somewhere in London that was said to grant access to powerful knowledge and carry the Mark of the Seer inscribed on its final page.

Eventually, Moina and Samuel married and he founded the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]] with two associates, [[William Robert Woodman]] and [[William Wynn Westcott]]. Just years into the Golden Dawn's expansion, William Woodman died mysteriously. As a result, William Westcott and Samuel Mathers fought for control of the group. Amid the chaos, Mina was asked to leave her husband and rejoin the order, however, she refused. Samuel Mathers died mysteriously at the age of 64. Mina took his place at the head of a new secret order, [[Wikipedia:Alpha et Omega|Alpha et Omega]]. Contrary to the official history, Mina had just one child.

Biography

As the Seeress

Moina's title of the Seeress was quite appropriate. After the assassination of William Robert Woodman, she, alongside Aleister Crowley, was the only one who was able to see him in his supernatural form. Her husband, the Imperator of the order, did therefore frequently use her in order to communicate with him.

In 1901, the Seeress conducted a sexual ritual with the corpse of Woodman, hoping that this would enable her and her husband to control the disembodied being. However, this failed.

Trivia

  • Frater V.O.V. compared Moina's voice to the one of Maria Amiel.
