||
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
|
||
|
||
For those of you that missed Sunday nights meeting here on Modem
|
||
Magick, here are a few of the notes.
|
||
|
||
If you have downloaded stuff from the Thelema library, you may
|
||
have noticed that we don't count time like 'normal' people do.
|
||
What year is it, anyway?
|
||
|
||
To Wiccans the New Year starts on Samhain, October 31....
|
||
(Halloween to mundanes).
|
||
|
||
The Thelemic New Year starts on the Spring (Vernal) Equinox,
|
||
March 20 and Holy Days last exactly 22 days, from the Supreme
|
||
Ritual (Invocation of Horus) to the writing of the last chapter
|
||
of AL on April 10th.
|
||
|
||
Thelemic chronology runs in 22 year cycles.
|
||
|
||
The Thelemic calendar counts eras from the Equinox of the Gods,
|
||
in 1904 e.v. (e.v.= era vulgaris - common date) (e.n.= era nobilis).
|
||
The first one, the era of the Fool ended in 1926, the year the Abbey
|
||
of Thelema was closed. Crowley died at the end of the second era,
|
||
the era of the Magus. Thelema went underground in the third era.
|
||
The O.T.O. as we know it today was started up in beginning of the
|
||
fourth era. We are entering the era of the Emperor next year.
|
||
|
||
I expect the eras probably overlap a bit... just like aspects do in
|
||
astrology, strongest in the middle, affected at either end by
|
||
going and comming aspects.
|
||
|
||
This is the 87th Thelemic year right now. The year can be written in
|
||
two different ways. My favorite method is the 'Thoth method'
|
||
IIIxxi e.n. (3X22+21=87) the III's are counted as 22 each for the
|
||
22 paths and the Holy Days, and the small letters as their regular
|
||
Roman value. Or... In regular Roman Numerals, LXXXVII.
|
||
|
||
I got the info for these notes from the TLC/N, Liber AL and Frater YV.
|
||
You will find lot's more interesting material in the back issues of
|
||
the Thelema Lodge Calendar and our Thelema library.
|
||
|
||
Love is the law, love under will.

CAMP NEWS

=================================================================

|

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
|
||
|
||
Ouroboros Camp was only granted Camp status by the E.C. a very
|
||
short time ago, and already we have hosted six Minerval and
|
||
eight First degree rituals here! We have gone from 0 members
|
||
and no Camp to 6 members in less than a year! (That is not
|
||
counting 'remote' Camp members) The hard work of many hands,
|
||
and the kind guidance of a few have made it all possible.
|
||
Thank you!!!
|
||
|
||
The Temple is almost completed. I am very proud of our Camp.
|
||
Our purpose is to provide a place in this heathen outpost for
|
||
people to be Initiated and hold study groups, ritual workshops,
|
||
etc.. The BBS and Newsletter are also Camp projects.
|
||
|
||
Well, hope you find something interesting in this Newsletter,
|
||
Looks like this one is a wrap! Till next time....
|
||
|
||
Love is the law, love under will.
