   News of the Lodge:

    Effective immediately, Thelema Lodge has a new Lodge Master.  Brother
Jerry Cornelius has ascended to the leadership of the oldest, continuously
operating Lodge in O.T.O.  Jerry is one of the most experienced Lodge Masters
we have in the Order.  His Brocken Mountain Lodge lasted for many years in New
England and was one of the founding Lodges in the Eastern United States.
Hundreds of O.T.O. initiates have benefited from study of his degree papers
and from the research archive he has maintained.
    Thanks are due to Brother Mordechai for the work he did in pulling the
Lodge together after the upsets we had last year.  His time as Lodge Master
was one of healing and kindness in adversity.  With the publication of the
last of his cycle of poems, "The Half Lyre", he has stepped down from a job
well done.  We look forward to the eventual continuation of his article on the
Gnostic Mass, begun last issue.  Vale and gratitude to Fr. Faustus!

         Personal correspondence for the new Lodge Master, as distinct from
general correspondence to Thelema lodge, should be addressed to:

                     J. Edward Cornelius
                     P.O.Box 11667
                     Berkeley, CA  94701-2667 USA

or he can be reached at the following phone number:  [phone]
Leave a message if no one is there and he'll get back when he can.

THELEMA LODGE CALENDAR

APRIL 1991 e.v.


Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

     Four score and seven years ago in Cairo on April 8, 9, and 10 a New Law
for mankind was announced over the left shoulder of Frater Perdurabo the
scribe.  On each of these three days he entered the temple and sat down at the
stroke of noon to devote himself for exactly an hour to the preternatural
pronouncements of Aiwass.  (There was no "pagan standard time" at the Equinox
of the Gods!)  "The voice was of deep timbre, musical and expressive, its
tones solemn, voluptuous, tender, fierce . . . . The English was free of
either native or foreign accent.  (The effect was thus as if the language were
'English-in-itself,' without any background)".  Our modern tradition amongst
Thelemites locally has been to gather in commemoration of the Aeon with a
celebrative reading of the three chapters of Liber AL, each in the evening of
the day on which it was originally received.  S.F.Bay Area readings this year
are set for 8:00--on Monday 8 April at Ancient Ways with Sirius Oasis (call
653-3244); Tuesday 9 April at the Gilman Street Project with Alien Gods
Productions (524-8180); and Wednesday 10 April in Horus Temple at Thelema
Lodge (654-3580).  Please call for confirmation before setting forth to
attend.  And don't neglect to join the rest of us as we sacrifice an hour
o'clock on the previous morning in honor of the Holy Days this year (daylight-
saving time gets under way at 2=3 AM Sunday 7 April).

     Sunday nights at 8:00 each week the lodge offers a public celebration of
the Mass of the Gnostic Catholic Church in Horus Temple.  All attending should
be communicants in the ritual, but newcomers are especially welcome to join
the lodge for mass; please call ahead at 654-3580.  For those interested in
learning the mass (as set forth in Crowley's Liber XV) an afternoon workshop
will be conducted in Horus Temple at 4:18 by Bishop T. Dionysus on Sunday 28
April.  As it happens, the mass workshop conjoins our Taurus birthday party
this month, so there'll be cake afterwards.  Aspiring mass teams are invited
to request a date on the Horus Temple schedule; they need to be present (or
represented) at the regular monthly lodge meeting.
     This spring the Bay Area welcomes a newly operating temple of the
Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica; regular monthly masses are being celebr
