2nd Tuesdays: Kaaba Series
Monday, December 15th, 2008The Kaaba Series is a public monthly open reading and discussion facilitated by a member of Sekhet-Maat Lodge, taking place on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm at 1409 SE Stark.
- The first section of discussions will focus on the Great Beast 666, his coming, mission and work. This will take place on second Tuesdays in Jan, Feb, and Mar:
- Jan 13: "The Master Therion, a Biographical Note."
- Feb 10: Liber B vel Magi.
- Mar 10: The Message of the Master Therion
- The second section of discussions will focus on the Law as it relates to the individual. This will take place on second Tuesdays beginning in April.
- The third section will focus on how Thelema solves the problems of modern civilization.
- The fourth section will focus on how to organize toward establishing the Law of Thelema.
Full-color booklets, produced by Sekhet-Maat Lodge, containing the reading material will be made freely available to participants. Funding for our publication efforts comes chiefly through donations and profit from events. Please consider making a donation to help create more such material — we hope to print many more such booklets and make them available to the public: http://sekhetmaat.com/wiki/Donations
This series is intended to provide a structured, well-rounded introduction to Thelema, but will also be of interest to those with more advanced understanding since it is an opportunity to share your knowledge and compare notes with others to gain new perspectives. The curriculum was first developed by Tau Omphalos in the valley of Trondheim, and has been ruthlessly stolen and adapted for our use by thiebes.
