News of the Lodge:
|
|
|
|
Effective immediately, Thelema Lodge has a new Lodge Master. Brother
|
|
Jerry Cornelius has ascended to the leadership of the oldest, continuously
|
|
operating Lodge in O.T.O. Jerry is one of the most experienced Lodge Masters
|
|
we have in the Order. His Brocken Mountain Lodge lasted for many years in New
|
|
England and was one of the founding Lodges in the Eastern United States.
|
|
Hundreds of O.T.O. initiates have benefited from study of his degree papers
|
|
and from the research archive he has maintained.
|
|
Thanks are due to Brother Mordechai for the work he did in pulling the
|
|
Lodge together after the upsets we had last year. His time as Lodge Master
|
|
was one of healing and kindness in adversity. With the publication of the
|
|
last of his cycle of poems, "The Half Lyre", he has stepped down from a job
|
|
well done. We look forward to the eventual continuation of his article on the
|
|
Gnostic Mass, begun last issue. Vale and gratitude to Fr. Faustus!
|
|
|
|
Personal correspondence for the new Lodge Master, as distinct from
|
|
general correspondence to Thelema lodge, should be addressed to:
|
|
|
|
J. Edward Cornelius
|
|
P.O.Box 11667

|
Berkeley, CA 94701-2667 USA
|
|
|
|
or he can be reached at the following phone number: (415) 658-3280
|
|
Leave a message if no one is there and he'll get back when he can.

THELEMA LODGE CALENDAR
|
|
|
|
APRIL 1991 e.v.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
|
|
|
|
Four score and seven years ago in Cairo on April 8, 9, and 10 a New Law
|
|
for mankind was announced over the left shoulder of Frater Perdurabo the
|
|
scribe. On each of these three days he entered the temple and sat down at the
|
|
stroke of noon to devote himself for exactly an hour to the preternatural
|
|
pronouncements of Aiwass. (There was no "pagan standard time" at the Equinox
|
|
of the Gods!) "The voice was of deep timbre, musical and expressive, its
|
|
tones solemn, voluptuous, tender, fierce . . . . The English was free of
|
|
either native or foreign accent. (The effect was thus as if the language were
|
|
'English-in-itself,' without any background)". Our modern tradition amongst
|
|
Thelemites locally has been to gather in commemoration of the Aeon with a
|
|
celebrative reading of the three chapters of Liber AL, each in the evening of
|
|
the day on which it was originally received. S.F.Bay Area readings this year
|
|
are set for 8:00--on Monday 8 April at Ancient Ways with Sirius Oasis (call
|
|
653-3244); Tuesday 9 April at the Gilman Street Project with Alien Gods
|
|
Productions (524-8180); and Wednesday 10 April in Horus Temple at Thelema
|
|
Lodge (654-3580). Please call for confirmation before setting forth to
|
|
attend. And don't neglect to join the rest of us as we sacrifice an hour
|
|
o'clock on the previous morning in honor of the Holy Days this year (daylight-
|
|
saving time gets under way at 2=3 AM Sunday 7 April).
|
|
|
|
Sunday nights at 8:00 each week the lodge offers a public celebration of
|
|
the Mass of the Gnostic Catholic Church in Horus Temple. All attending should
|
|
be communicants in the ritual, but newcomers are especially welcome to join
|
|
the lodge for mass; please call ahead at 654-3580. For those interested in
|
|
learning the mass (as set forth in Crowley's Liber XV) an afternoon workshop
|
|
will be conducted in Horus Temple at 4:18 by Bishop T. Dionysus on Sunday 28
|
|
April. As it happens, the mass workshop conjoins our Taurus birthday party
|
|
this month, so there'll be cake afterwards. Aspiring mass teams are invited
|
|
to request a date on the Horus Temple schedule; they need to be present (or
|
|
represented) at the regular monthly lodge meeting.
|
|
This spring the Bay Area welcomes a newly operating temple of the
|
|
Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica; regular monthly masses are being celebrated at
|
|
Nefertiti Sanctuary in the city of San Francisco on Friday nights, with the
|
|
next date scheduled for 5 April at 8:00. Call 566-0675 for an invitation.
|
|
|
|
Initiates of Ordo Templi Orientis are invited to assist at the reception
|
|
of candidates into their degrees, and join in the feasting after the Minerval
|
|
ceremony. Initiations at the lodge are planned for Saturday 20 April, but
|
|
it's important to call ahead to discuss the particular times, degrees, and
|
|
locations involved. To undergo initiation forty days formal notice is
|
|
required; inquire of the lodgemaster (or one of his officers) for an
|
|
application, or write to the Thelema Lodge Initiation Secretary, P.O. Box
|
|
2303, Berkeley, CA 94702. Second degree initiates are invited to a workshop
|
|
on the ceremony of that degree, which we will discuss and rehearse with the
|
|
lodgemaster on Sunday afternoon 14 April at 4:18. On 21 April, the Sunday
|
|
following initiations, we'll have an afternoon of lodge clean-up; please
|
|
support your temple and come help beat the carpets, wash the windows, and
|
|
banish the demons.
|
|
|
|
Tuesday April 16th, A special night of occult oriented trash video
|
|
collages of anti-satanic propaganda as spread across the air waves into our
|
|
TV's by such misguided folk as Geraldo, Salley Jessie Raphael, Current Affair,
|
|
CNN News, John Ankerberg and many, many more. Come see, watch in horror,
|
|
laugh and make rude remarks and jeer. Guaranteed to make you go away talking
|
|
... Popcorn not supplied. Starts promptly at 8:00 PM, so don't be late.
|
|
Donations requested to help the lodge. Call the Lodge for location.
|
|
|
|
The Tarot series with Bill Heidrick meets once in April at 8:00 in the
|
|
temple on Wednesday 17 April, the fifth of ten classes. Bill's celebrated and
|
|
long-running slide lectures, with sample Tarot readings, display decks, and
|
|
substantial hand-outs of original interpretative material are a mainstay of
|
|
the lodge's continuing efforts as a thelemic study center.
|
|
The newly-established Magick in Theory and Practice Study Circle will
|
|
gather with Marlene the following Wednesday evening, 24 April, at 8:00. This
|
|
group is for all levels of experience and is intended to facilitate individual
|
|
exploration into practical approaches to Magick. The text by Crowley will be
|
|
used as a basis for discussion.
|
|
The Magick Theater offers the latest in ancient fare; this month we'll be
|
|
reading "The Bacchae" of Euripides (circa anno 406, aeon before last), arranged
|
|
as a communion rite in an outstanding modern African translation. "A Dramatic
|
|
Ritual . . . . is a celebration of the Adventures of the God whom it is
|
|
intended to invoke. "The Bacchae" of Euripides is a perfect example of this.
|
|
"Magick Without Tears." Reading begins at 7:30 in Horus Temple on Tuesday
|
|
30 April; texts provided for readers and auditors.
|
|
|
|
Lodge meeting for calendar, business, and palaver is Monday evening 29
|
|
April at 8:00. Those able to take an active role in the affairs of the lodge
|
|
are urged to attend and coordinate their efforts.
|
|
The Lodge of Perfection meets privately on Thursday evening 18 April.
|
|
Thelema Lodge hosts a Ladies' T on Monday afternoon 15 April from 5:30 to
|
|
7:30. Thelemic women invited to share tea and secrets.
|
|
|
|
Jerry's Logorrhea: You might be asking yourself, "What is Jerry's Logorrhea
|
|
and why should I attend?" (or is it contagious?) Those are good questions.
|
|
To understand, it might be best to look at the term "logorrhea" which is used
|
|
primarily in psychology. When the word is broken down we know "logo" means the
|
|
"word" and the term "roai" in Greek implies "flowing forth". Thus some dictionaries
|
|
define logorrhea as "excessive and incoherent talking." In some ways this
|
|
often summons up the talks which I, as a babbling Cancer with Scorpio Moon
|
|
have planned for the future. Still want to attend? If there is any doubt you
|
|
might want to talk to those survivors who sat through my lectures in the past,
|
|
or attempted to listen to my ramblings while sipping beer in my living room.
|
|
A few who shall remain nameless have often pointed their fingers at me,
|
|
shaking their heads, exclaiming, "My God you've got logorrhea!". I'm not sure
|
|
if it was meant in a positive way, but I sort of like the word and thus came
|
|
to birth "Jerry's Logorrhea" classes. I can only say these fireside chats
|
|
will not be dull, and in fact you might actually learn something! As with all
|
|
my classes popcorn is not being supplied. Also, show up early as this
|
|
neurotic Cancer has this weird tendency to start classes on time. (How
|
|
absurd, you might say!)
|
|
The topics of these talks will most likely be decided a few days before the
|
|
scheduled date of each logorrhea. You can call in advance if you'd like to
|
|
know the basic subject matter, but often even I may not know what idle chatter
|
|
will strew forth till I open my mouth.
|
|
April 26th, May 11th and 24th. Call The Lodge for location and time.
|
|
|
|
Looking to May, Sol goes fifteen degrees Taurus on Sunday 5 May for
|
|
Beltane, which we'll probably observe with Tyl Ulenspiegl and Lucifer the King
|
|
of Spring in the afternoon before mass. Find the advance May calendar (in
|
|
this issue) for projected class dates and regular events.

Crowley on Disk --- update:
|
|
|
|
With the completion of primary entry of "Equinox" I, #'s 1-10, it's time to
|
|
give an update on the Crowley computer text project. Between 14 and 15
|
|
megabytes of the works of Aleister Crowley are currently on 5 1/4 inch IBM PC
|
|
diskettes. Most of this material is still unproofed and in XYWrite word
|
|
processor format. Many of the texts are available in ASCII, and more are
|
|
being converted as proofreading proceeds. The "Equinox" is available in ASCII
|
|
now for #'s. 1-6. All "Class A" works are available. The other texts include
|
|
"Confessions", "Magick in Theory and Practice", "Magick Without Tears", "Liber
|
|
Aleph", "The Gospel According to St. Bernard Shaw" and many more. At least
|
|
one Master's Degree Thesis has made use of these files, and persons having IBM

Thelema Lodge TREASURY TALKS
|
|
|
|
OK, ok! I know it's been a long time but here is another Treasury
|
|
Report. This report covers December 1990 to February 1991e.v.
|
|
An explanation of the categories below may prove illuminating. The first
|
|
MASSES is rather self-explanatory, the monies out usually go for candles as
|
|
the Mass teams still supply their own wine and roses. MEETINGS also include
|
|
classes-- basically any calendar event that is not a Mass or Initiation. The
|
|
DONATIONS category is for monies given to the Lodge apart from the other
|
|
categories [thank you!] and also includes any benefits or FUNdraisers that
|
|
occured. INITIATIONS was the most difficult to categorize. The monies earned
|
|
in fees and spent in supplies is shown on that row. Below it is [*] this
|
|
indicates monies recieved in fees that are for initiation in a different month
|
|
than when the monies were entered in the Lodge Treasury.

FROM THE OUT BASKET
|
|
|
|
SHEMAHAMPHORASH
|
|
|
|
From "Magical Correspondences", (c) Bill Heidrick, a work in progress
|
|
|
|
The following 72 angelic names are a great and ancient mystery of
|
|
ceremonial Magick and the Qabalah. They constitute the "Schemahamphorasch",
|
|
the great divided name of God. The 72 names are derived from three
|
|
consecutive verses in the Hebrew text of Exodus. These verses consist of
|
|
exactly 72 letters each. The first of these verses, Exodus XIV, 19, is
|
|
written right to left in the normal fashion of writing Hebrew. The second of
|
|
these verses, Exodus XIV, 20, is then written beneath the first backwards,
|
|
from left to right. Beneath these two is written the third verse, Exodus XIV,
|
|
21, in the normal order again, from right to left. This gives a list of 72
|
|
columns of letters with three letters in each column. To each of these three-
|
|
letter columns two additional letters are appended. These additional letters
|
|
are Aleph-Lamed, HB:AL, or Yod-Heh, HB:YH; El or Yah, two names of God. There are
|
|
other ways to form the Schemahamphorasch and other lists of names drawn upon
|
|
for this practice. The method is mentioned in several sources including
|
|
"Semiphoras and Schemhamporas", a 17th century work reprinted and available
|
|
widely in a quite odd anthology called "The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses".
|
|
These names are also to be found in Barrett's "The Magus", I. Regardie's "The
|
|
Golden Dawn", Crowley's "Liber 777", and Kircher's "Oedipus Aegyptiacus". The
|
|
angelic names are used in the Golden Dawn and Crowley's system for attribution
|
|
to the Lesser Trumps of Tarot. The lists in "777" and Regardie's "The Golden
|
|
Dawn" contain errors, as do most sources. Every effort has been made to avoid
|
|
errors here, but it is a simple matter for anyone to check these names with
|
|
the aid of a copy of the Masoretic Text of the "Torah."
|
|
The process whereby the names "El" and "Yah" are selected to complete these
|
|
names is not generally known. It is possible that "EL" is used to indicate
|
|
Male and "Yah" to indicate Female bias in the names, but there are other
|
|
plausible reasons for picking one ending over the other.
|
|
The names are attributed to the five-degree divisions of the Zodiac
|
|
starting with the first division of Leo and continuing around the Zodiac in
|
|
much the same fashion as do the Decans.
