Happy Thelemic New Year, everyone! It's that time again, for the Office of the Readings.
Like last year, the Office of the Readings will be presented at Leaping Laughter Lodge, the Minneapolis local body of Ordo Templi Orientis.
This post will remain the top article here for the duration of the Thelemic Holy Days, from March 19th to April 10th.
The Rite of the Office of the Readings is performed for all of the readings beginning on March 20th.
The Prologue of the Unborn on March 19th is presented on its own and followed by silent meditation.
The Invocation of Horus will be performed on the evening of March 20th prior to that day's Office of the Readings.
