山缪·李德尔·麦奎格·马瑟斯（英语：Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers，1854年1月8日或11日—1918年11月5日或20日），英国神秘学学者。“黄金黎明协会”的创办人之一。

早年[编辑]

马瑟斯于1854年1月8日或11日出生于英国大伦敦哈克尼区。他的父亲威廉·M·马瑟斯很早就去世了。他的母亲，其姓氏是柯林斯，于1885年去世。他在贝德福德学校（英语：Bedford School）上学，随后在多塞特郡的伯恩茅斯工作，担任职员，母亲去世后，马瑟斯搬到伦敦市。

他的妻子是哲学家亨利·柏格森的妹妹莫伊娜·马瑟斯（英语：Moina Mathers）（本名米娜·柏格森）。

生平[编辑]

Mathers added the "MacGregor" surname as a claim to Highland Scottish heritage, although there is little evidence of such in his family background. He was a practising vegetarian, or (according to some accounts) 纯素主义, an outspoken anti-vivisectionist, and a non-smoker. It is known that his main interests were magic and the theory of war, his first book being a translation of a French military manual.[2] He became more and more of an eccentric towards his later years, as was noted by 威廉·巴特勒·叶慈.[3]

共济会[编辑]

Mathers was introduced to 共济会 by a neighbour, 炼金术 Frederick Holland, and was initiated into Hengist Lodge No.195 on 4 October 1877. He was raised as a Master Mason on 30 January 1878. In 1882 he was admitted to the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia as well as a number of fringe Masonic degrees. Working hard both for and in the SRIA he was awarded an honorary 8th Degree in 1886, and in the same year he lectured on the Kabbalah to the Theosophical Society. He became Celebrant of Metropolitan College in 1891 and was appointed as Junior Substitute Magus of the SRIA in 1892, in which capacity he served until 1900. He left the order in 1903, having failed to repay money which he had borrowed.[4]

Upon the death of William Robert Woodman in 1891, Mathers assumed leadership of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He moved with his wife to Paris on 21 May 1892.[3] After his expulsion from the Golden Dawn in April 1900, Mathers formed a group in Paris in 1903 called Alpha et Omega (its headquarters, the Ahathoor Temple).[5] Mathers choosing the title "Archon Basileus".[6]

翻译[编辑]

Mathers was a polyglot; among the languages he had studied were English, French, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Gaelic and Coptic, though he had a greater command of some languages than of others. His translations of such books as The Book of Abramelin (14thC.), Christian Knorr von Rosenroth's The Kabbalah Unveiled (1684), Key of Solomon (anonymous 14thC.), The Lesser Key of Solomon (anonymous 17thC.), and the Grimoire of Armadel (17thC.), while probably justly criticised with respect to quality, were responsible for making what had been obscure and inaccessible material widely available to the non-academic English speaking world. They have had considerable influence on the development of occult and esoteric thought since their publication, as has his consolidation of the Enochian magical system of 约翰·迪伊 and Edward Kelley.

批评[编辑]

In addition to many supporters, he had many enemies and critics. One of his most notable enemies was one-time friend and pupil 阿莱斯特·克劳利, who portrayed Mathers as a villain named SRMD in his 1917 novel Moonchild. According to Crowley's memoirs, The Confessions of Aleister Crowley, Mathers was in the habit of ostensibly playing chess matches against various pagan gods. Mathers would set up the chessboard and seat himself behind the white pieces, with an empty chair opposite him. After making a move for himself, Mathers would then shade his eyes and peer towards the empty chair, waiting for his opponent to signal a move. Mathers would then move a black piece accordingly, then make his next move as white, and so forth. Crowley did not record who won.

Earlier, Crowley wrote in his Confessions that: "As far as I was concerned, Mathers was my only link with the Secret Chiefs to whom I was pledged. I wrote to him offering to place myself and my fortune unreservedly at his disposal; if that meant giving up the Abra-Melin Operation for the present, all right."[7]

死亡[编辑]

马瑟斯在1918年11月5日或20日亡于巴黎，死因不详。迪安·福图（英语：Violet Firth）认为他的死因可能是1918年西班牙流感。虽然这似乎很有可能，但很少有关于马瑟斯私生活的资料，因此很难证实。
