Waite joined the Outer Order of the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]] in January 1891 after being introduced by E.W. Berridge. In 1893 he withdrew from the Golden Dawn. In 1896 he rejoined the Outer Order of the Golden Dawn. In 1899 he entered the Second order of the Golden Dawn. He became a Freemason in 1901, and entered the ''Societas Rosicruciana'' in Anglia in 1902. In 1903 Waite founded the Independent and Rectified Order R. R. et A. C. This Order was disbanded in 1914. The Golden Dawn was torn by internal feuding until Waite's departure in 1914; in July 1915 he formed the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross, not to be confused with the ''Societas Rosicruciana''. By that time there existed some half-dozen offshoots from the original Golden Dawn, and as a whole it never recovered. | Waite joined the Outer Order of the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]] in January 1891 after being introduced by E.W.
