Blazing Star Oasis

Blazing Star has become my family! If you have any interest in Thelema, magickal traditions, mysticism, or finding your True Will, I highly recommend this beautiful community of people. This community is accepting and loving unlike any other group I have ever experienced. If you are at all curious about different philosophies or religions, this is a place you can explore with no added pressure. There’s Gnostic masses one Sundays, classes on Tuesdays, and other fun events throughout the week.

(Hmm. not sure why Unilocal has them listed as «Mass Media» and Religious Organization??) This is a great Thelemic community, and for sure the first/​only religious organization that I’ve been to in my whole life where I didn’t feel that I needed to hide some aspect of my true self (whether it was my queerness, usual way of dressing or just generally cranky or introverted demeanor). They have a weekly public celebration of Aleister Crowley’s Gnostic Mass (Liber XV) which starts at 4:30 (warning: they do not let latecomers enter once the ritual has begun) and they also have weekly public classes (every Tuesday night at 7:30pm) on a number of topics relating to Thelema and magick. A good safe place for the curious — no weird creepy pressure tactics. etc. (Although there is one older dude — «the hugger» — who can scare non-​huggers, so just be forewarned and extend a hand for a shake or take a step backwards if approached with an unwanted hug!)
