                THELEMA LODGE TREASURY REPORT

      In  an attempt to organize the financial records of Thelema Lodge, I
 accepted the job of Lodge Treasurer.  Beginning with May 1, 1990 e.v. I
 categorized the monies according to the following:

                               MAY                JUNE
                          in        out       in        out
 Masses              $107.55      $20.00    $77.94      0
 Classes/Meetings    $134.02         0      $55.05      0
 Donations/Benefits  $569.00         0         0        0
 Initiations             0           0         0        0
 House Debt                      $790.57             $100.00

      This is a summary of the monies handled by myself on behalf of the Lodge.
 Many thanx to all those individuals who donated so graciously during the month
 of May -- we could not have kept  the house without your enormous assistance.
      On a more somber note, I feel it is my duty to  inform the community of
 the current financial status of the Lodge.  At this time both the electricity
 and the temple phone at 588 63rd St. (downstairs) are still disconnected.  To
 reconnect P G & E will cost $619.38 ($509.38 past due and $110 deposit).  Pac
 Bell says it will take $290.00 to reconnect the phone line.  In addition to
 this, the Landlord claims $4,050.00 in back rent (for entire house).
      Needless  to say, we still need MONEY!!!!!   All activities are
 continuing to occur at the Lodge.  Please remember to donate to each one you
 attend.  We also will be hosting fun(d)raiser dinners and special events on a
 monthly basis.  Any ideas of how to raise monies will be greatly appreciated!
                          June 23, 1990 e.v.       Marlene Smith

 Three Poems from The Grady Project:


      Rust

 Nails, red scales
 Crust on crust;
 Ashes to ashes
 Dust to dust.

         (undated)


      The Mass

 A slashing knife, and thick red blood,
 Across your breast a weal of stain;
 White are your limbs and white the pain
 Of ecstasy, and earth, and rain.

                  (2/12/1942 e.v.)


      Blind Horus

 Mother Medusa of the solar wind
 Lion paw and lambent thigh
 Love-lightning playing in your hair
 Has blinded me, and I am thine.

 Mother Medusa, lion cubs
 Come tumbling through your amber dream.
 I hear your purr with throat of iron
 And your growl in the slap of thunder.

                  (2/19/1972 e.v.)


 [these poems were first printed in the second "Grady Project" pamphlet
 (December 1987 e.v.]

 Orator's 'ration.

 Every month the Thelema Lodge Calendar will try to bring you the text of at
 least one lecture which has been previously delivered by the Orator of Thelema
 Lodge's Grady L. McMurtry Lodge of Perfection.  Of course it goes without
 saying that those lectures which deal with O.T.O. initiations in a specific
 rather than general manner will not be printed.  Still, it is hoped that our
 brethren of all grades will enjoy these L.o.P.sided bits of opinion!:

 RESURRECTION AND THE AFTERLIFE

    The worship and the ritual of Ordo Templi Orientis are solar-phallic in
 nature.  This fact can be quite easily seen in
