This edition:

is, I think the most up-to-date; though some of the reviews on Amazon point out that there are uncorrected and newly introduced errors in this 7th edition.
This edition (the 6th I think):

first post long time lurker I have been following the GD tradition for over a decade so i can shed my own personal viewpoint if that helps. I believe that everyone who practices the occult in any way, shape or form should pick and choose what he or she likes. That being said if you follow the GD system to its conclusion you can and will have a strong base of occult knowledge. You could also join the OTO, AA, BOTA or a number of other groups where you will find credible, proven systems that work for those operating it. No one system is right or wrong. So pick what you like and dedicate yourself to it.

I enjoy the GD work because it provides a strong framework for me when i write my own rituals. There are a number of magical systems within the walls of most legitimate GD Temples which gives you a good platform for your future. If you are blessed to live within driving distance of one you should, if you are interested, seek them out.

The system itself is well put together and incorporates a system that works if you apply it. However, the problem with any social organization is always its members. You will, whether in school, temple, work, sports, or any other group/social activity, inevitably run into assholes. You will also run into amazing, loving, smart, wise, intelligent, caring, powerful people and every other mindset you can imagine in human form. So meet with the group first and see if you like them regardless of its affiliation.

If you are not near a GD temple never fear you can self initiate at home! It does take some work and dedication but you can learn and do everything you need from whats out there in print right now. Some of the books I would look at to begin with are probably from the author [Israel Regardie] (http://www.amazon.com/Israel-Regardie/e/B000APBPWM/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1376711546&sr=8-2-ent). More specifically [this book] (http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Dawn-Teachings-Ceremonies-Llewellyns/dp/0875426638/ref=sr_1_1s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1376711553&sr=1-1) would be a good place to start in conjunction with [this book] (http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Magick-Twelve-Lessons-Magickal/dp/0738715786) as a compliment.

There are modern temples run in many parts of the world but one of the major ones are run by the [Cicero's] (http://www.hermeticgoldendawn.com/) a quick google search will find you everything you need about the major groups in existence today. Try not to get too hung up on lineage and drama within the bubble of GD, there are good occult groups and bad judge for yourself what is right for you.

I apologize in advance for my grammar, lack of reddit know how, and general newness to the community I hope you got something out of my rant.

If you have ever read the golden dawn and read the Gardener book of shadows (father of wicca)

You would see Gardner ripped off huge portions of the golden dawn texts..added nudity and a bit of girl power and ran with it.

TLDR: Wicca is a direct descendant of the golden dawn (Gardner even was a student of Crowley.....man Crowley had a lot of influence.
