Tamion is working hard to organise a dedicated storage space for all of our ritual equipment. In order to do this we are requesting assistance in having a large clear out of a cellar space that we will be using to keep all of our items together in future.
On the weekend of the 8th and 9th October we would like to invite you to a weekend of cleaning, ritual, feasting and general occult fun. Please wear old clothes and sensible shoes and you may with so bring some rubber gloves and other bits of cleaning equipment.
On the Saturday, along with a lot of cleaning, there will be a consecration of a small statue of Isis. This ceremony will be based on the neophyte formula of the Golden Dawn and is designed to prepare the material basis for the influx of deity. On the following day, this statue will be used as the focus for the ‘Invocation of the Holy Spirit’ ritual from the recently published ‘Grimoire of Aleister Crowley’ written by Rodney Orpheus. The weekend will culminate with a feast which will be provided by the Camp, donations to cover the cost of this will be greatly appreciated.
If you would like any further information about this event, please contact us at tamion@oto-uk.org
Here’s the menu for the UK Grand Lodge Body Officers Meeting hosted by Tamion Camp this coming Saturday…
Saturday April 10th, 2pm-6pm. The Usual Venue. Please email Soror Kim (kimhuggens@yahoo.co.uk) for information about venue.
On the days of April 9th, 10th and 11th 1904, Aleister and Rose Crowley received the channeled Book of the Law, the foundation text of Thelema. Tamion OTO will celebrate the annual feast of its reception on the second day, with a reading of the text and much feasting!
There may also be a Breaking of Bread ritual to begin the feast.
Everybody is invited to bring food and drink to add to the feast. For those who wish to be Centres of Pestilence, there will be a discussion of the Book of the Law afterwards.
There will be a feast and business meeting at our Cardiff location on November 7. All initiated members of the Order are welcome to attend – we’d love to see as many people as possible from the South West area, since we’ll be laying out plans for the next months activities. If you would like to come, please RSVP for details, or leave a message on our Facebook page.
As the name would suggest, please bring a pot of food to add to the pile!
Today is the last day of the three day feast for the writing of The Book of The Law.
The final chapter is dedicated to Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
We really hope that you have enjoyed the three days of feasting and that we may see you at Tamion Camp in the near future.
Fear not at all; fear neither men nor Fates, nor gods, nor anything. Money fear not, nor laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power in heaven or upon the earth or under the earth. Nu is your refuge as Hadit your light; and I am the strength, force, vigour, of your arms. – - [III:17]
Happy second day of the three day feast of the writing of The Book of The Law!
The second chapter is dedicated to Hadit and many Thelemites refer to today as ‘Hadit Day’. Have a wonderful feast day however you celebrate it.
I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star. I am Life, and the giver of Life, yet therefore is theknowledge of me the knowledge of death. – - [II:6]
Liber AL vel Legis, The Book of the Law, contains three chapters, each of which was written down in one hour, beginning at noon, on April 8, April 9, and April 10 in 1904.
Chapter II verse 38 says: A feast for the three days of the writing of the Book of the Law.
Today is the first day of that three day feast.
The first chapter is dedicated to Nuit and many Thelemites refer to today as ‘Nuit Day’. Here at Tamion Camp we would like to wish you all a very splendourous celebration of this feast day!
But to love me is better than all things: if under the night stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me, invoking me with a pure heart, and the Serpent flame therein, thou shalt come a little to lie in my bosom. For one kiss wilt thou then be willing to give all; but whoso gives one particle of dust shall lose all in that hour. Ye shall gather goods and store of women and spices; ye shall wear rich jewels; ye shall exceed the nations of the earth in spendour & pride; but always in the love of me, and so shall ye come to my joy. I charge you earnestly to come before me in a single robe, and covered with a rich headdress. I love you! I yearn to you! Pale or purple, veiled or voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple, and drunkenness of the innermost sense, desire you. Put on the wings, and arouse the coiled splendour within you: come unto me! – - [I:61]
