Sandra Tabatha Cicero is an American esoteric writer and lecturer, best known for her work in the field of Hermeticism.
Born in rural Wisconsin in 1959, Cicero graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts in 1982.
[1] Along with her husband, Cicero has co-authored several[2] books on the Golden Dawn, Tarot, Kabbalah, and the Western mystery tradition including The Essential Golden Dawn, which won a Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR) award[3] in 2004 as one of the year's best titles in the field of magic.
In interviews and various writings, the Ciceros themselves have acknowledged that their group, H.O.G.D., does not claim an unbroken lineage to the original Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
[6] On the nature, purpose and question of lineage the Cicero‘s have written: “Questions of legitimacy or lineage of a magical group can in fact interfere with spiritual growth if a student becomes caught up with the glamour of obtaining a magical merit badge from a recognized organization, rather than achieving conversation with one’s Higher and Divine Genius.
