Thank you to everyone who made the recent Minerval initiations quite so spcetacular.
Congratulations to the five new Minervals, we hope to see you all at Tamion lots more in the future.
There will be more Minerval initiations and initiations into the I, II and III degree of O.T.O. at Tamion on 18th July.
Initiation to Minerval is open to anyone free and off full age on completion of an application form signed by two current O.T.O. members of the I* or higher. Initiation to I* in July will be open to anyone who has already taken the Minerval initiation including those from the 9th May event on completion of the same critria mentioned above.
For more information on applying for initiation into O.T.O. please see our initiation pages.
The Gnostic Mass Class taught by Tau Orpheus on Saturday 25th April was a very great success. It was wonderful to see so many people in attendance and so many new faces. We very much hope that the day was as enjoyable as it was informative and that we see many of the same faces, and even more new ones, again in the future.
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]

After attending initiations at Sheesha Naaga Camp in Bristol, members of Tamion Camp and Templum Amoris Lodge from beautiful York went out to explore the English countryside.
We went to Uley Long Barrow in Gloucestershire, also known as Hetty Pegler’s Tump after a 17th century owner of the field. It is a Neolithic burial mound, near Stroud, aligned on the early-May sunrise. It is thought to have been built sometime before 3,000 BC along the ancient road which is now the B4066.
Then we went on to Nympsfield Long Barrow. The name ‘Nympsfield’ is from the Celtic nimet meaning ‘holy place’. We sat in the sun and ate a picnic of the last of the previous day’s feast, watching the hawks circle above us in adouration of our hawk-headed mystical lord.
It was a really lovely day and the most wonderful way to end a weekend of many Man of Earth initiations. Congratulations to the new initiates.
Happy new year to everyone from Tamion Encampment!
Each Thelemic year starts on the northern-hemisphere Vernal Equinox, coinciding with the Thelemic holiday called the Feast for the Equinox of the Gods. This is often observed on March 20th of the common calendar but truly occurs at the exact time of the Equinox.
Some Thelemites assign the twenty-two years of each cycle to the twenty-two Trumps of the Taro, which would mean that we have just left the year of the Tower and are now beginning the year of The Star.
