Sister Alzbeth delivered an excellent workshop on Rising in the planes. This was an astral journeying through the Qabalistic Tree of Life as Moina Mathers of the Golden Dawn was recorded practising in 1892. The workshop saw participants paint their own Indian Tattwa symbols and conduct the ritual that will make them ascend up the Tree of Life to explore and discover. This Lesser and Greater Rituals of the Pentagram were both part of the ritual.
Also at todays busy meeting we administered Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica (E.G.C.) rites of Baptism and Confirmation. The origins of the Rite of Baptism are lost in antiquity, but its meaning is as clear as living water: it symbolises birth. The object of this Rite is to commemorate the birth of a child as a member of the Body of Nuit, whose Life is one, individual and eternal; to welcome this individual through a symbolic second birth into the knowledge, fellowship and sanctuary of our Congregation; and to remind us of our duties toward each other, as toward our children and all children. Thelema rejects the idea of original sin. So, for us, baptism represents a symbolic birth into the Thelemic community. Confirmation represents the first conscious manifestation of the True Will. The Church accepts the confirmand as a Thelemite, one of its own, a rightful claimant to the heirship, communion and benediction of the Saints.

A glorious day for our Summer Solstice gathering at Swinside Stone Circle near Millom.
We donned our white robes, beginning with a Solar Ritual before performing EGC baptisms.
A wonderful day of ritual and fraternity.

There is a great deal of unprecedented astrological & astronomical activity happening over the next few days. On 19th December we have a new moon at 28 degrees of Sagittarius. This falls on The World Axis, indicating the global importance of the astrological events.
Then on 21st December at 3.03pm GMT we have the Capricorn Solstice, bringing to birth that which began its gestation at the Aries Equinox, The Equinox of the Gods when some of us performed The Invocation of Horus at Castlerigg stone circle, calling in the new aeon, a transformation in the consciousness of human, planetary and cosmic consciousness.
This propitious time is catalysed by the unprecedented appearance of an intergalactic being hurtling through the heavens. Although classified as a comet, astronomers are unsure as to the exact nature of this visitor as it displays many anomalous behaviours compared to the previous two visitors 1i/A and 2i/A (the ‘A’ in the name refers to the “Atlas” astronomical observatory that first identified the phenomena). In addition to its unusual behaviours 3i/A comes attended by 6 comets, a beautiful and unusual arrangement which mirrors the geometric arrangement of the Seed of Life.
On the day of the new moon, 3i/A reaches its closest point to the earth and on its way passes very close to our celestial namesake, the star Regulus.
Located in the constellation of Leo, Regulus is the chief of the Persian Royal stars and the Watcher of the North. The Latin “regulus” translates as ‘little king’ and the qualities associated with it are spiritual sovereignty, leadership and courage. Qualities that many of us are calling forth at this time.
As the beautiful cosmic dance unfolds, may the blessings of the heavens be yours this solstice and may the courage of the heart of the lion carry you through the trials of the journey.

Thank you to all who attended and created such a wonderful fraternal atmosphere at the gathering. It was great to see so many brethren from across England and Scotland. We were delighted to welcome so many brothers and sisters to this two day event, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September.
Saturday daytime consisted of talks and workshops. Following a welcome from Br. James on behalf of the event staff at Regulus Oasis, the keynote speech was delivered by our Supreme and Holy King, Fr. Hyperion X°, looking back at challenges of recent years and presenting a positive vision for the future.
A speech What’s what, a member’s guide to the O.T.O. by the Grand Secretary General, Fr. Spiritus followed this, exploring the Order as a magickal system and how to get the most out of the O.T.O. I recall two particularly memorable quotes:
“To become a member of the O.T.O. is to hitch your wagon to a star.”
Liber CLXI – Concerning the Law of Thelema
“In short, there is no circumstance of life in which the O.T.O. is not both sword and shield.”
Liber CLXI – Concerning the Law of Thelema
An Electoral College question and answer session was opened by Sr. Alex, who explained that the Electoral College exists to support the members of the Man of Earth Triad and how they support you. She was accompanied by Br. Ray who explained what the Electoral College does, our shared journey, and by Br. Carl who issued an invitation to aspire to volunteer to serve, once you reach V°. They were joined on the panel by our Supreme and Holy King, Fr. Hyperion X°. They took questions from attendees, with lively discussion on a wide variety of topics. It was a one of the highlights of the event, much remarked upon by those I spoke to, to quote one Brother “they were so approachable”.
Br. Tim spoke about the E.G.C. in a fascinating talk focusing on the trinitarian structure of E.G.C, relating for example Man of Earth to Ra-Hoor-Khuit and the Laity, Lovers to Hadit and the Clergy, Hermits to Nuit and the Episcopate, and much much more.
Br. Tarik delivered a lecture Working your Minerval Degree and this was followed by a talk and hands-on workshop on Sacred Geometry by Sr. Nicola of Secret Flame Oasis.
Later that evening, and a particular highlight, I interviewed Br. Lon Milo DuQuette, who joined us live from California playing “Sweet Babalon” on his guitar much to our delight. Then it was onto an interview celebrating 50 years in the O.T.O. I went on to ask him about Grady McMurtry and Phyllis Seckler and he regaled us with wonderful accounts of his encounters with them, joining the O.T.O and his early days. I asked him about meeting Israel Regardie and his stories on this had us laughing out loud. Brother Lon gave some very good advice to all members – “what you bring to the O.T.O. is what the O.T.O. becomes” and “don’t resign!”.
We discussed his success as an author, his first book, and his latest, Tarot Architect. I enquired as to the origins and current whereabouts of one Rabbi Ben Clifford and we were entertained by his responses. We then discussed his love of music, before thanking him and bidding him farewell.
The bar opened and there was music and a chance for everyone to relax and enjoy each others company for the rest of the evening.
The following day the doors opened once more for tea, coffee and fraternity and about mid-day we all participated in a beautiful Gnostic Mass performed by a team from AVoD Lodge led by Br. Tarik and Sr. Helen.
This was followed by the Thelemic Bazaar. Featured stalls selling Abramelin & planetary oils, O.T.O & E.G.C. badges, and Magical bookmarks, the Regulus stall selling Regulus mugs, hats and badges, and a bookstore selling books at fraternal prices. ALL funds raised from the bookstore were donated to Regulus Oasis. Doors closed at 4pm.
The Feedback has been very positive. I would like to give particular thanks to the officers of Regulus Oasis for their hard work running the event, and all who assisted us. Sr. Lesley – food and drink, Sr. Cara – audio/visual, Br. James – video link/interview. Though it was hard work, it was also great to offer fraternity to so many Sisters and Brothers.
