From: Will Bridewell Area: Thelema To: Rose Dawn 13 Dec 94 14:26:32 Subject: Membership in OTO UpdReq Just curious. How large is the OTO now as far as members and lodges go? Has there been a significant increase over the past decade with a large number of Crowley's works being reprinted by Weiser and New Falcon? 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Helrunar Area: Thelema To: All 15 Dec 94 10:06:42 Subject: THELEMIC HOLIDAYS UpdReq Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law! Hello brothers and sisters! I'm making a calendar and I'm looking for thelemic holidays to put on it. Any thelemic Holy days or anything relating to thelema and the O.T.O. or anything you might think of that would be celibrated or remembered would be most apeciated. Lets se so far I have... april 8,9,10 the writing of the book of the law. AC's lesser feast ?date? AC's greater feast ?date? Bride and Beast ?date? Well obviously I dont have much yet. Could any of my Brothers and Sisters out there give me some ideas? Love is the law, love under will.

AC Lesser Feast: Oct. 12 AC Greater Feast: Dec....uh...7? 2? Shit. (Note - the Crowley dates aren't official feasts, but most of us do something to commemorate the old fart on them (g)) Nov. 28: WIlliam Blake's Birthday (well, WE think it's important (g)) Beast and Bride: Aug. 12. The Equinoxes and Solstices. The Cross Quarters (generally celebrated as "feasts of the times" by many groups, connecting us to our fellow pilgrims in the Neopagan trads and to our spiritual ancestors) Vernal Equinox is also the Equinox of the Gods. While the formal "Supreme Ritual" is an A.'.A.'. celebration (as is the Feast for Tahuti and the Child of the Prophet - secret O prophet), many of us keep it on the Vernal Eq. as well, with the rehearsal of the Invocation of Horus. Pangenetor Lodge in the Bay Area has a Thelemic desk calendar out as part of their publishing line, you might consult that. It has many Greater and Lesser Feasts for figures in our history - Ouarda the Seer and Ieho Aour, SRMD and many another wise mage, as well as a collection of quotes from Crowley that seemed calculated to show him at his absolutely nastiest.
