The class will show how Enochian magick can be used as a system of healing through self-transformation and it’ll take a very simple yogic and shamanistic approach. The method in this workshop will show how there can be little to no magical tools necessary to begin.

There’ll be a brief overview and discussion before we begin with the real work as we’re only focusing on the Aethyrs at this time. We’ll be exploring the 30th Aethyr: TEX, the closest of them all.

Students and participants may want to do any preparations they may feel necessary before class of their choosing i.e. ritual cleansing, relaxations, and banishing.

Things to bring:

--Any small scrying device of their choosing or they can just bring themselves.

--A magical diary or something they may record their experiences in for later use.

All local OTO Initiates are warmly invited to join us at the Kalamazoo Public Library for an enlightening Gnostic Mass Workshop. We look forward to welcoming you to this special gathering of minds and spirits, where questions are encouraged, and new perspectives await. Join us for a few hours of learning, reflection, and community!

Thelema rejects the idea of original sin. So, for us, baptism represents a symbolic birth into the Thelemic community. The child heeds the call of Nuit, who declares, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” The child enters the portals of Her Church, where he or she is welcomed into the community of worshippers, leaving the profane world and its materialistic obsessions behind.

The baptized child joins the community at what is essentially a probationary level. The recitation of the creed by the congregation during the baptismal ceremony represents the instruction of the child in the essential tenets of the church. The child is not a full member of the community until he or she has learned these tenets and has made a conscious, informed decision to accept them…

The ceremony of confirmation is mentioned in the final paragraphs of Liber XV. Confirmation represents the first conscious manifestation of the True Will. The recitation of the Creed by the confirmand represents a statement that active participation in the Church and belief in its tenets is in conformity with the confirmand’s own 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. The cheirotonia conveys the sacramental bond that joins the confirmand’s consciousness with the egregore of the Church. The cuff on the cheek represents an awakening to the reality of Thelema and all its implications, as well as to the life-consciousness of puberty. (Note that the Greek word egrêgora means, roughly, “it has awakened.”)

Feast of Cattle is one of Thelema's cross quarter day celebrations. It is observed in the middle of the time of Taurus, which runs from April 20 to May 21. It is meant to be held in correspondence to the time of Beltaine.

In this rite, we will use music, poetry, esoteric philosophy to explore the energies of the time of Spring by heralding the renewal of life and awakening of the earth. We have added our own flavor to this rite to make it an enjoyable, dramatic, and magickal experience.

We have held the Thelemic, Feast of the Dragon and the Feast of the Stars in our temple at Artes and Craft. If you enjoyed thise, please join us for this one!

This class is now on every other Friday. Its a great start to your weekends!

Do you enjoy reading esoteric/mystical/magical books? Have you ever read such a work and wanted to “Nerd Out” over it with others but are met with blank stares and snide remarks? Well, search no further! Serpent Flame Encampment is proud to introduce the Intellectual Alchemy Book Club and Discussion Group led by Amber Ferrebee.

The group will meet at 6:00pm every other Thursday at Artes and Craft in Hartford, MI. We will discuss the assigned reading and chase whatever rabbits spring up from said discussion. The more the merrier! Our first book will be The Chicken Qabalah by Lon Milo Duquette. This is a fantastic intro to Qabalah (and is freaking hysterical as well). Books can be ordered through Artes and Craft.
