The Serpent and the Egg | Entelecheia | Horizon Lodge OTO Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2024-01-05 | "Our central Truth—beyond other philosophies—is that these two infinities [Nuit and Hadit] cannot exist apart." With these words, Crowley begins his "New Comment" on The Book of the Law. This lecture by Entelecheia explores Crowley's justification for this bold statement along with many of the implications it has for Thelemic metaphysics, theology, and soteriology. We also consider how this central truth is embodied and given dramatic and symbolic expression in Liber XV and in the Thoth Tarot.Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/horizonotoSupport us via PayPal: paypal.me/horizonotoHorizon Lodge OTO: http://seattle-oto.orgFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/horizonotoFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/horizonlodgeoto0:00 Purpose and outline of the lecture3:10 The central Truth of Thelema27:10 0=2 and the central Truth47:27 Tetragrammaton and the central Truth57:00 The Gnostic Mass and the central Truth1:12:47 Tarot and the central Truth1:25:52 Conclusion
The Magick of Color (The Use of Color as a Language in the Thoth Tarot) Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2023-12-20 | In this lecture, we explore the premise that all color usages in the paintings of the Thoth Tarot were intentionally chosen for their specific symbolic import. That in general, the chosen colors simply reinforce the explicit attributes of the card, but also that there are many instances where color adds additional narrative that is not accessible based purely on form. The talk begins with an overview of the history of the use of color in occultism. The latter half will be spent looking at specific cards from the Thoth Tarot and decoding their colors.Lecture by Scott Wilde, recorded at Horizon Lodge 11/14/2023Originally given 8/5/2023 at Notocon XIV notocon.oto-usa.org/xiv/Schedule/sessions-saturday#h.89i1nhs72gvqLIBER IRIS: keepsilence.org/colorsSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/horizonotoSupport us via PayPal: paypal.me/horizonotoHorizon Lodge OTO: http://seattle-oto.orgFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/horizonotoFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/horizonlodgeoto00:00 Intro00:50 Three types of color meaning06:35 Early occult color - Zohar, Bible, Alchemy, & John Dee12:08 Book of Magic - Ficino, Agrippa, & Levi15:41 Color in Fraternal Orders - Masonry, SRIA, & Golden Dawn23:33 The Four Worlds / Scales35:12 Crowley's use of color as a language39:31 Thoth Tarot Overview42:17 Simple Trumps - The Emperor & Adjustment45:01 Simple Trumps - Death, The Empress, The Magus47:09 The Sun & The Moon, The Priestess & The Hierophant53:20 The Grail - The Chariot, Knight of Cups, Lust58:22 Gold & Silver - The Star, The Lovers, Art1:04:34 Sephiroic Colors - The Devil, The Lamen1:07:36 Elemental Colors - The Lamen, The Aeon1:14:05 Daath - The Hermit1:16:13 The Small Cards1:24:50 The Ace of Cups1:30:48 Liber IRIS on keepsilence.org

Thelema and Pan by guest lecturer Denny Sargent Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2023-11-06 | Why does the great god, Pan, recur throughout the work of Aleister Crowley? What was Crowley's relationship with Pan such that he insisted his Hymn to Pan be read at his funeral? These questions and many more will be answered in this lecture by Denny Sargent, which will introduce listeners to the power and magick of Pan within the context of Thelema. This lecture will not only consider the role of Pan in the life and work of the Beast 666; it will also situate that work within the context of renewed cultural interest in Pan in the British and European art and literature of Crowley's era. Delivered by a serious devotee of Pan, this lecture is not to be missed!

Sri Sabhapati Swami and Tamil Yoga in Modern Occultism | Keith Cantú | Horizon Lodge O.T.O. Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2023-07-25 | The Tamil Śaiva yogi Sri Sabhapati Swami (b. 1828 C.E., also spelled Sabhapaty Swamy / Svāmī or transliterated Capapati Cuvamikal) remains largely a hidden source for South Asian and modern occult conceptions of the body. In addition to English, Sabhapati’s writings and/or hagiographical accounts survive in Tamil, Sanskrit, Bengali, Hindustani, Marathi, German, and French (with a record of Telugu), and his work is distinguished by its rich visual depictions of yogic physiology.In this talk, Keith presents a brief sketch of Sabhapati’s life and works and then talks about the way he was engaged by the founders of the Theosophical Society, Henry Olcott and H.P. Blavatsky, and how his works were later translated into German by Franz Hartmann. He then devotes special attention to the way Aleister Crowley integrated his teachings into some of his meditative instructions published in The Equinox and elsewhere, and explains how he and other occultists would have likely interpreted his instructions on canceling (note: not “balancing” or “aligning”!) the cakras. Finally, he shows how his forthcoming editions and translations of Sabhapati’s works, especially those written in a specific form of “Sanskritized” Tamil and Hindustani, provide many additional ritual instructions of practical relevance to modern occultism, such as mantras and rites for invoking various gods and goddesses, the nine deities of the planets and lunar nodes (navagraha), and many other rites that fit well within the kind of “eclectic syncretic” method that Crowley and other occultists promoted as a viable alternative to — but not necessarily a replacement for — traditional cultural forms of religious practice.Keith Edward Cantú is a scholar of religious history who recently fulfilled the requirements for a PhD in Religious Studies (South Asian religions) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to be awarded in June of this year. His dissertation, entitled “Sri Sabhapati Swami and the ‘Translocalization’ of Śivarājayoga,” examined the Tamil, pan-Indian, and international reception of Sabhapati’s system of yoga, which spans multiple linguistic and cultural worlds, including Theosophy and later Thelema via the works of Aleister Crowley. He has also published articles, chapters, and edited books on Western esotericism and post-Orientalist discourses, on Islamic esotericism and the Baul Fakirs of India and Bangladesh, and on Sanskrit literature on alchemy, and serves as an Associate Editor for Correspondences: Journal for the Study of Esotericism. Keith was previously a member of Horizon Lodge before moving to Santa Barbara to complete his studies and continues to pursue his abiding interest in all things related to O.T.O. and A⸫A⸫.Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/horizonotoSupport us via PayPal: paypal.me/horizonotoHorizon Lodge OTO: http://seattle-oto.orgFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/horizonotoFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/horizonlodgeoto

The Maat of Thelema | Aion131 | Horizon Lodge Ordo Templi Orientis Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2023-03-14 | Ma’at—the Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, harmony, law, morality, and justice—pervades the gnosis of Thelema as manifested in Liber AL vel Legis, and it whispers through many Thelemic Holy Books. Truth, Justice, and Balance are all crucial to success in understanding and practicing magick. This presentation and discussion by Aion131 focuses on how Ma’at magick weaves itself not only through Crowley’s works, but also how it connects with the ‘Ma-Ion’ Ma’atian gnosis as proclaimed by Frater Achad, the black flame Ma’at emanations of Soror Nema, as well as others in the wider Thelemic community. Achad saw the spiral of the Aeon of Horus and the Aeon of Ma’at entwining and supporting each other, and others believe that the balancing of the Aeons of Horus and of Ma’at will help humanity survive the force and fire of this Aeon.Links to the lecture notes and sildes: dennysargentauthor.com/the-maat-of-thelema-lecture-notes-presented-at-horizon-lodge-oto-2-21-2023Horizon Lodge OTO: http://seattle-oto.orgFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/horizonotoFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/horizonlodgeotoSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/horizonotoSupport us via PayPal: paypal.me/horizonoto0:00 Introduction1.35 What is Ma'at?7:47 Ma'at in the Thelemic Holy Books20:22 Ma'at and Thmait22:09 Ma'at and Frater Achad28:43 MA-ION37:25 Thelemic-Ma'atian Orders41:25 Soror Nema1:05:39 Horus-Maat Lodge1:06:32 Q&A
Meditating on the Thelemic Holy Books: Lectio Divina Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2023-01-30 | In this class, Entelecheia describes the history and the method of Lectio Divina. We consider the origin of Lectio Divina in the Christian monastic tradition and see how it can be used as a tool of interacting with short passages from the Thelemic Holy Books. These Holy Books represent in words, images, and symbols the spiritual essence or "inner truth" of Thelema. Rather than decoding these symbols analytically, Lectio Divina offers us a way to interact with them directly under the inspiration of the Holy Guardian Angel.Keep Silence edition of the Holy Books (proceeds benefit Horizon Lodge): etsy.com/shop/HorizonLodgeDonate to Horizon Lodge: http://seattle-oto.org/contact-us/donateHorizon on Patreon: patreon.com/horizonoto0:00 Introduction3:04 What are the Holy Books/Class A Texts?10:45 The history of Lectio Divina12:00 The method of Lectio Divina16:37 Hands-on practice

The Living and the Dead: Truth Embodied in Liber XV | A Lecture by Entelecheia Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2022-10-28 | The raising of a corpse, a litany of dead saints, the fulfillment of the covenant of resurrection, and the eventual return of all into the silence of the tomb: the living and the dead play an integral role in the liturgy and drama of Liber XV.In this lecture, Entelecheia will lead us on an exploration of truth as the difference between what is alive versus what is dead. We will consider the ways a ritual, a tradition, and an individual can serve as living symbols of truth. We will consider the radical possibility that what we call life is in fact a form of death, and that perhaps the dead are more alive than we realize.Entelecheia has been a member of O.T.O. and Horizon Lodge since 2014.

Starting with Crowley's description of the Gnostic Mass in Confessions, we consider how the Gnostic Mass serves as a form of nature worship. We then follow the trail of objective truth down into the recesses of the individual's soul to understand the nature of internal truth and how the drama of the Gnostic Mass brings it alive as a love story.00:00 Audience enters01:43 Introduction07:09 Disclaimer09:50 Interpretation15:38 Claim17:45 Crowley's description of the mass25:45 Labor and Enjoyment29:38 Procreation34:05 The Cult of the Sun46:37 On the nature of Truth1:02:30 On the nature of Love1:09:04 Mass's depiction of Truth and Love1:18:23 Summary1:23:47 Outro1:24:45 Audience questionsEntelecheia has been a member of O.T.O. and Horizon Lodge since 2014.

OTO Initiation: An Introduction | Horizon Lodge OTO Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2022-04-19 | In this talk, we dive deep on one of the central mysteries of OTO as it is encountered in its introductory degrees: the mystery that "There is no god but man." Beginning from an analysis of how Crowley diagnosed the problems of the human condition, we explore how heeding the call of the divine within leads to positive life change while simultaneously serving the divine by perpetuating the cosmic cycle of existence.
True Will and Magick | Horizon Lodge OTO Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2022-03-14 | In this talk by Entelecheia for Concentric Circles 2022, we learn about the different definitions of will and magick in Thelema. In addition to the kinds of magick we are familiar with, Thelema also includes the idea of being magick itself, a kind of connectedness with the world that is closely related to the idea of pure will. Entelecheia talks about what it means to be magick itself, and how practicing being magick can help us enjoy a greater sense of meaning in life.Visit us: http://seattle-oto.orgFind us on Facebook: facebook.com/horizonotoSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/horizonotoDonate via PayPal: paypal.me/horizonoto0:00 - Introduction and purpose1:07 - Ancient and contemporary magic8:29 - Different perspectives on will11:33 - What is a person?20:08 - Having needs vs. being needs24:13 - Having mode and being mode as applied to magic27:19 - Having mode and being mode as applied to will28:10 - Remembering the being mode29:50 - When we beome magic, the world becomes magical32:35 - Eros and erotic liberation36:18 - The meaning of Ra-Hoor-Khuit38:20 - What is depth? 39:52 - Liber Resh and turning toward manifestation42:43 - Thelema and Daoism43:55 - Every day access to magic

The Path of Erotic Liberation (Excerpt) | Horizon Lodge OTO Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2021-11-23 | Thelema is the Greek word for will. It is a spiritual and religious philosophy created by Aleister Crowley. The goal of this hour-long lecture by Entelecheia is that you acquire deep insight and deep understanding of Thelema: learning why someone would want to walk this path, what it means to walk this path, and how one’s life might be transformed by walking this path. Per the title of this talk, this path is described as a path of erotic liberation.In this excerpt, Entelecheia gives an account of Thelemic "evil" as the arbitrary restriction or limitation of reality, and how the path of liberation requires self-abandonment and erotic union of Hadit with Nuit. The entire lecture can be accessed by supporting Horizon at the $5 level on Patreon: patreon.com/horizonotoEntelecheia is an ordained Priest and Deacon in EGC and a chartered initiator. His interests include metaphysics, magic, and the sacred tradition of the west. He currently resides in Seattle, WA where he is a member ofHorizon Lodge.The views expressed in this video do not represent official O.T.O. teachings.

Sri Sabhapati Swami and Tamil Yoga in Modern Occultism (Excerpt) | Keith Cantú | Horizon O.T.O. Horizon, Ordo Templi Orientis 2021-05-31 | The Tamil Śaiva yogi Sri Sabhapati Swami (b. 1828 C.E., also spelled Sabhapaty Swamy / Svāmī or transliterated Capapati Cuvamikal) remains largely a hidden source for South Asian and modern occult conceptions of the body. In addition to English, Sabhapati’s writings and/or hagiographical accounts survive in Tamil, Sanskrit, Bengali, Hindustani, Marathi, German, and French (with a record of Telugu), and his work is distinguished by its rich visual depictions of yogic physiology.In this talk, a portion of which is here excerpted, Keith presents a brief sketch of Sabhapati’s life and works and then talks about the way he was engaged by the founders of the Theosophical Society, Henry Olcott and H.P. Blavatsky, and how his works were later translated into German by Franz Hartmann. He then devotes special attention to the way Aleister Crowley integrated his teachings into some of his meditative instructions published in The Equinox and elsewhere, and explains how he and other occultists would have likely interpreted his instructions on canceling (note: not “balancing” or “aligning”!) the cakras. Finally, he shows how his forthcoming editions and translations of Sabhapati’s works, especially those written in a specific form of “Sanskritized” Tamil and Hindustani, provide many additional ritual instructions of practical relevance to modern occultism, such as mantras and rites for invoking various gods and goddesses, the nine deities of the planets and lunar nodes (navagraha), and many other rites that fit well within the kind of “eclectic syncretic” method that Crowley and other occultists promoted as a viable alternative to — but not necessarily a replacement for — traditional cultural forms of religious practice.Keith Edward Cantú is a scholar of religious history who recently fulfilled the requirements for a PhD in Religious Studies (South Asian religions) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to be awarded in June of this year. His dissertation, entitled “Sri Sabhapati Swami and the ‘Translocalization’ of Śivarājayoga,” examined the Tamil, pan-Indian, and international reception of Sabhapati’s system of yoga, which spans multiple linguistic and cultural worlds, including Theosophy and later Thelema via the works of Aleister Crowley. He has also published articles, chapters, and edited books on Western esotericism and post-Orientalist discourses, on Islamic esotericism and the Baul Fakirs of India and Bangladesh, and on Sanskrit literature on alchemy, and serves as an Associate Editor for Correspondences: Journal for the Study of Esotericism. Keith was previously a member of Horizon Lodge before moving to Santa Barbara to complete his studies and continues to pursue his abiding interest in all things related to O.T.O. and A⸫A⸫.To view the entire lecture, please subscribe to us at the $10 tier on our Patreon: patreon.com/horizonoto
