From the Master:

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Having survived the holiday season we at Bubastis Oasis would like to invite you to some of the events we will be having in the month of January, 2012 e.v.

January 3, 2012 e.v., 7 PM – Bubastis Yoga with Frater H0110W‎. What better way to work of the holiday bulk by starting or reinforcing a regimen of the sacred science of Yoga. Join Frater H0110W as we hit the mats and work to steady our practice. Come with comfortable clothing and your own yoga mat. Donation requested.

The regular application of Yoga as well as the discussion of its teachings is central to the work of OTO. As stated in the Order’s Manifesto (Liber LII): “The aims of the O.T.O. can only be understood fully by its highest initiates; but it may be said openly that it teaches Hermetic Science or Occult Knowledge, the Pure and Holy Magick of Light, the Secrets of Mystic attainment, Yoga of all forms, Gnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Bhakta Yoga and Hatha Yoga, and all other branches of the secret Wisdom of the Ancients.”

January 10, 2012 e.v. , 7 PM – Dancing with the Six: A Discussion on the Hexagram Rituals with Frater Nur-i-Siyah.

January Masses:

Written in Moscow in 1913, the Gnostic Mass stands as one of the most beautiful and central rituals of the O.T.O. As the only truly public ritual of the Order, it gives an opportunity for all, intiate and non-initate alike, to experience the Thelemic approach to the Mysteries.

January Dates for the Celebration of the EGC’s Gnostic Mass:

• January 15, 2012 e.v.
• January 29, 2012 e.v.

All Masses listed above will begin at 6 PM. If you wish to celebrate the Mass with us, please make sure to be at the Oasis Temple by 5:30 PM.

These ceremonies are open to the public and are participatory. So if you’ve never attended a Gnostic Mass, would like to, but are uncertain as to what might be expected of you, drop us a line so we can fill you in on the details.

Also, if you are not already a member I encourage interested parties to join our Yahoo Group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bubastis in order to keep up with any changes made to our event calendar or to just discuss your interests.

Finally, if you have any questions concerning any of the above events feel free to e-mail either me or the Oasis Secretary at the address given in the “Contact” section of this site.

Nu is our refuge as Hadit our light; and Ra-Hoor-Khuit is the strength, force, vigour, of our arms.

Love is the law, love under will.

Frater Nur-i-Siyah, Master,

Bubastis Oasis, OTO-USGL
