I'm not sure I entirely understand where you're coming from, and I think I'd need to read up on those traditions in order to get it (I know a little about the Golden Dawn, but it struck me mostly as mystical woo and I haven't looked into it in any serious way). What I would say thought is that I find mindfulness meditation to be an incredibly powerful tool, while I don't ascribe any religious significance to it whatsoever, I do wonder whether this would fall within your definition of spiritual practice. It does have its roots in Buddhism, but can be usefully practiced entirely detached from those roots.
