 From The Grady Project:

 WITCHWINE

 In the sanctum of the Cavern
 By a phantom altar, burning
 With desires mad and unhuman
 Know we but the fiery yearning
 Of our hearts that to each other
 Cling in fear and wracked devotion;
 In the red alembic bubbles
 Venom of a lethal potion.
 This to feed those who would part us
 This to those who cackle "Witch"
 This to clergyman and Bishop
 Bought with gold by robber rich.
 This to barons in their manors
 This to hangmen and the cell
 This to henchmen of the kingdom
 May the silent ghouls feed well.
 This to those who inquisition
 This to those who damn the free
 This to murderers patrician
 May they die in agony.
 This to merchant, prince and burgher
 This to Pope and gilded lord
 This to merceners who fatten
 On the profits of the sword.
 This be secret, dark, and eldritch
 This be weapon, charged with worth
 This to lift the curse of Mammon
 From the peoples of the Urth.

 News of the Temple.

    The last person remaining from those arrested during the infamous raid of
 September 29-30, 1989 e.v. has had all charges dropped.  One member was
 arrested over a month later despite being released during the raid itself (see
 previous reports in the "TLC"), and his charges are not yet cleared.  ALL
 people arrested during the raid have been cleared.  The City of Berkeley has
 not responded to the filed complaint, and Federal complaint will be the next
 step if that situation continues.
    We would like to thank all those who gave direct assistance to Thelema
 Lodge to replace funds which disappeared during the raid.  Unfortunately, more
 is needed for the direct relief of the Lodge.  Emotional stress has been very
 high in the period following the raid and continues high more than half a year
 later.  Several people moved out of the residence during that time; and, even
 though others have moved in since, that earlier loss of revenue has placed the
 temple operation in jeopardy.  Other changes in management of the Lodge are
 underway to improve financial security, but local donations directly to the
 Lodge are needed to pay back rent and utilities.  If you can stop by the lodge
 this month with a donation, you will contribute to our survival as the oldest
 continuously operating O.T.O. Lodge.  Please help.
    Donations to the Legal Fund are also needed.  Legal Fund donations should
 not be sent to the Lodge but to Grand Lodge, and made out to "O.T.O.":

 From the Out Basket

                      The Star Sponge and the Fifty Gates,
                         Two Passages to Attainment.

    Crowley's Star Sponge vision at Lake Pasquaney around 1916 e.v. was a very
 profound perception but a very ordinary conception.  Crowley saw "Nothingness
 with twinkles" and elaborated the vision subsequently to include many
 insights.

 "...  Each stage in the process was like the joy of a young eagle soaring from
 height to height in ever increasing sunlight as dawn breaks, foaming, over the
 purple hem of the garment of ocean, and, when the many coloured rays of rose
 and gold and green gathered themselves together and melted into the orbed
 glory of the sun, with a rapture that shook the soul with unimaginable
 ecstasy, that sphere of rushing light was recognized as a common-place idea,
 accepted unquestioningly and treated with drab indifference because it had so
 long been assimilated as a natural and necessary part o
