Woodman, William Robert (1828-1891)
British physician. Woodman was a member of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia and one of the founders (with W. W. Westcott and S. L. M. Mathers) of the magic society the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
Woodman was a student of Kabala, Egyptian antiquities, Gnosticism, and Platonism. In 1867 he became secretary of the Rosicrucian Society and in 1878 was supreme magus. His magic motto in the Golden Dawn was "Vincit Omnia Veritas" (Truth rules all).
