Witch City Chicago Lughnasadh ritual

This weekend is really filling out here in Chicago.  Just take a look at the Occult Chicago calendar.

The newest addition is the Witch City Chicago Lughnasadh ritual on Friday at Alchemy Arts.  In their words:

"Friday, July 27, 2012, 7:00 PM-- Witch City Chicago Lughnasadh ritual. Everyone welcome! This will be a ritual for Lughnasadh. As with all our Sabbats this is potluck and beginner friendly."

A few of the other events this weekend:  two separate events with Gede Parma,  the Curse Tablets lecture at Owen and Engine and the open Gnostic Mass at Aum Ha Lodge.

Sunday, June 24th

As evidence that Chicago's stake in the occult is not just historical, I'd like to post a screenshot of the Occult Chicago calendar on Sunday June 24th.

Alchemy Arts is hosting two events, including a lecture regarding the distinction between the Left vs. Right hand path by Dr. George J. Seig.

Aum Ha Lodge is hosting their free monthly Tarot for Fun and Prophecy class, as well as their monthly public performance of the Gnostic Mass.

Occult Bookstore is holding their monthly lecture by Michael Bertiaux.

Occult Chicago events calendar

There is still much to be added, but I've finally put together an Occult Chicago events calendar.

As of right now, most of the events have been taken directly from the Alchemy Arts and Aum Ha Lodge online calendars.  Some events I will post about shortly.  But let it be noted that if you would like to attend a beach party with the OTO, it looks as if you will have TWO chances to do so this month one opportunity each month this summer to do so.

If you have any events that you would like to suggest, please post here or write to the new address:  occultchicago at gmail dot com

Thanks!

Aum. Ha. Lodge and the 100 year anniversary of the OTO

Aum. Ha. Lodge is the local body of the Ordo Templi Orientis.  On the last Sunday of each month (read:  today) they open their doors for a public performance of Liber XV, the Gnostic Mass.  Most months they have a free tarot workshop in the afternoon before the Mass.

On Friday, June 1st the Lodge will celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Aleister Crowley being installed as the UK Grand Master Of OTO by offering a free public lecture by T Polyphilus on the history of the OTO.

Aum Ha Lodge is located at 7013 N Sheridan Road, Chicago, IL 60626
