Golden Dawn Papyrus of Ani study 2025 schedule (Denver local and remote)

 In light of Khari's declaration that Dragonfest broke the bank, the new fall Equinox Hierophant had decided to use the remaining dates for a Golden Dawn study.

Hide your children--our Hierophant is a Sith rebel.

Sorry, I am rebelling. If Walnut Hill Community Church had been forced to be a real entity like the previous church that I was associated with, we would have never dreamed of approaching this season she did. But Khari heard that she was going to be elevated to Elder at Dragonfest--first time going in years--next year, she' doing Child's Fest. 

I don't do Dragonfest. Never have. Nor do Dragonfest people join Golden Dawn lodges.

Khari killed Bast Temple . . . if I am a Jedi.

I am not. 

On the death of Brother Ozzy's death, I am a Sith.

August 9, 2025 will be remote only . . . published through Confessions of an American Witch, my new blog. I am trying to keep it clean of certain elements, so no link, sorry.

Will it fool the search engines . . . probably not.

For those who have not done a remote class before, we used to do them through forums and message boards--private messager--the chat logs that I have printed out--Sanctuary of Maat, I miss you--one teacher leading a class of students scattered all over the world.

Sanctuary of Maat was a online group that was working with the Cicero's Green Book for self-initiation purposes. That's how I met Brother MTO originally; but "Why be a self-initiate when me and Khari still have the tools? Do you have a friend, or two?"

Yeah, that's how I eventually end up with Inner Order grandchildren whose lineage goes through both Aliester Crowley and Israel Regardie . . . none of them know . . . none of them were told . . . there was a trademark preventing disclosure . . . I wonder how many are mad as hatters . . . or is it only me? 

Because I was the only one with direct contact with Master Cherubim, the Adept who healed my lineage--thanks, Dude. Then, he ran off to play music with a washed out blonde while I terrorized the Great Gherkin. 

Anyways, the Open Full Moon Denver Saturday dates are still being used.

Open Full Moon Saturday

Denver and Remote GD Study

Fall 2025 schedule

August 9: Remote study only. Dragonfest "Khari plans on being too tired" aftermath. How to build a Shared Astral Temple. A series of timed posts will appear on my new blog.

Confessions of an American Witch

After this point, I am kicking the potluck aspect and starting the event at 7 pm, or whenever I finish cooking for Khari. Or later, if she decides it's going to be a movie night. 

Honestly, she expects my life to be able to go Off and On at her whim. 

Anyway, that's my future problem; not yours.

Rest of the dates, if you are local, if you dare, you can actually attend the study in person.

Yeah, met me in person. 

2727 N. Cook St., Denver, Colorado 80205

September 6

October 4

November 1 (Day of the Dead)

December 6 (Subgrade Celebration Day)

7 pm to 10 pm, South Door

Before I tell you, my proposed course of study for the Fall 2025 season, first a word for our dear departed Brother Ozzy.

From The Golden Dawn: Or Light of the Great Future--The Soul--Its Value: "The soul is grander than its creations. However profound its works written, or beautiful the pictures printed; however stately the structures erected, or life-like the statues chieseled, the soul is grander then them all. The soul of Dante, or Shakespeare, or Milton, was sublimer than their poems, The soul of an Angelo was nobler than St. Peter's; that of Mozart diviner than his music."--Rev. William Hutton. 

I practice biblomancy . . . it's sad, sometimes; today was one of those days.

Anyways, the study will be All Golden Dawn and Thelemic Grades and Degrees simply because we will be examining a Core Source RC Document of the Hermetic original. 

Papyrus of Ani--James Wasserman edition--find it.

Where did RC Chiefs of Isis-Urania get their Egyptian lore from? Two sources: British Museum and the Elephant Folio. The last one is a photocopy of the Papyrus of Ani.

Even if you can't read the Egyptian Book of the Dead, you can use the pictures.

And that's exactly what Mathers did. 

Until he didn't.

Because he was using the real scroll at the Museum.

Not the folio. 

That's my guess as a historian. 

So the plan is to approach the Scroll with respect of initiates and witches. 

Study it. Design and work rituals based on the Scroll. Along with our regular GD work.

And my regular Hermetic Golden Dawn work involves having investing a lot in rather expensive Inner Order Hermetic Golden Dawn course. I have a couple thousand dollars worth of Golden Dawn and Thelema books, as well as too many Freemason books for someone who never a Brother on the Square. 

Anyways, I don't want to do the study here on this blog because it still like the Great Gherkin here, so I am now over at Confessions of an American Witch.

Now we close with a reading from Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike, again for Ozzy.

"The Rose was anciently sacred to Aurora and the Sun. It is a symbol of the Dawn, of the resurrection of Light and the renewal of life, and therefore of the dawn of the first day, and more particularly of the resurrection: and the Cross and the Rose together are therefore hieroglyphically to be read, the Dawn of the Eternal Life which all Nations have hoped for by the advent of a Redeemer."

Farewell Brother Ozzy, farewell.

May you know the peace of Buddha.

August 2025 OFM cancelled due to Dragonfest timing (all others due to budget) Sorry for attempting the experiment

 For those who saw it coming, Khari made it so last night: August 2025 OFM is cancelled.

Oh no, we are so surprised.

Yes, that is right--August 9, 2025 Open Full Moon is cancelled for being too close to the end of Khari returning from Dragonfest; therefore, she is going to be too tired to host--sorry.

As for the rest of the planned Open Full Moons, September  . . . October . . . November . . . December . . . they are all cancelled because we don't have money for the potluck after spending so much on the garden and Dragonfest; hence, Khari needs to focus on her pottery business for the last part of this business year. Again sorry, but Khari has to put her needs first. And we simply are bust after she spent money on Dragonfest which she considered important for bringing members into her training and initiation system . . . 

. . . don't ask me to count them--I have yet to meet a single one of these future members. 

Oh well, Khari is the Hierophant of Bast Temple now, and it's on her to recruit.

Not me.

Back to writing science fiction for me . . . can I profit?

Sorry 2025 OFM schedule cancelled due to Khari concerns

Sadly, upon her return from camping and a Dragonfest meeting, Khari decided that we needed to delay the August 9, 2025 because Dragonfest people are unlikely to attend.

I will do an Open Full Moon again when I see flying witches.

On grounds like that, I can justify cancelling the September 6, and October 4 events.

And given that Saturday, November 1st is actually sabbat, well, that needs to be reserved for people doing private work--not being used for a public event. Silly Khari, she can't do an open event that night--the leadership of all the finest covens will burn her in effy.

Oh, and obviously, the Yule ornament event on December 6 is just a money spinner, so it's cancelled too. 

That's better. Khari does not need to worry about conflicts with her damn job, or her energy levels, or how the public percieves her. Good for her. Great for my occult shop . . . it helps me makes exactly zero money, just like Khari wants me to . . . go figure. 

Kid friendly Open Full Moon schedule (Walnut Hill Community Church) 2025 OFM Potluck and Pagan Wiccan Ritual Saturdays Denver Colorado 80205

Announcing three big things: Future blog updates will be on Confessions of an American Witch. There is a Child Friendly Open Full Moon Saturday in the Denver, Colorado 80205 area, being hosted by a public school teacher. Oh most importantly, it's being held at Walnut Hill Alchemy (2727 N. Cook St.); we are just north of the Denver Zoo and City Golf Course. It's residential area. As my ghost dad says, "Business in the front, living in the back." Yes, I have gone back into sin--selling herbal magick kits again.

Disguised as a normal muggle house.

Yeah, I have gone back to being a slut minister. And by that, I mean purely by accident, I read the homepage of the community church that I used to be a gang member of.

"Suggested donation: Twenty dollars. Do not inebriated."

With no indication of what the Capital Hill Open Full Moon Friday theme will be about. 

I can do better. What to see better? My wife, Khari, is a public school teacher. We just brought a grape vine. On a Saturday. The fifty-eighth birthday of my ghost wife.

Yes, I have a ghost wife now. Cassandra Ravenspell. My life's complicated. New blog. 

Anyways, here's the Walnut Hill Community Church Open Full Moon Saturday 2025 schedule.

December 6 (Yule ornament . . . shop will have kits for sale)

Hosts: Walnut Hill Church

Morgan Drake Eckstein (licensed minister)

Khari Seshat Meret (school teacher/ ceramic artist)

Location: 2727 N. Cook St., Denver, Colorado 80205

We are just north of the city zoo and golf course complex in a residential area. "Walnut Hill" is the name of the housing development that our house is located in. Originally, every lot had a black walnut tree. A disease killed all of the trees . . . except we have one. Fighting on. Hence Walnut Hill This and Walnut Hill That and Walnut Hill XYZ on every company in my neighborhood. 

When: Gate open at 5 pm for workers; 6 pm for the potluck; 7 pm for the main event; we close at 10 pm . . . because we are in a family neighborhood.

Kid friendly is a relative term. I might be radioactive shop owner.

Now, that we have advertised Khari's most important stuff, she wanted me to waste time on Facebook to announce that I am cohosting events with her. I believed that I have reached more people. As in horrified more mothers. Here. Than on Facebook. I think. 

Because I used to blog here a lot. By blog here a lot, I mean, I used to offend some of you a lot. I could tell by the richness of the language that you used in my comment section. 

Then Khari made me quit blogging, go off to college, get an education, and I accomplished nothing. Peeked in here, the other day while she out of town, learning stuff for Bearfest, being slave to the future of pagan and Wiccan children, and I was shocked to see traffic. 

If only I could figure out how to turn eyeballs into dollars, but I ain't that smart. 

No, I am falling back on my Retirement Plan--writing slutty science fiction. 

Oh, trying to sell herbs at my wife's OFMs. "C'mon, you need mugwort. Persian catmint."

No? Sad face. How about a course called Rocky Mountain Egyptian Godforms "originally priced at $360 for a thirteen week course, cohosted by Hierophant Khari." No?

Just for that, you have to punch in Confessions of an American Witch into your favorite search engine on your own. Because you didn't throw money at Khari. I tell you that she is Second Order Golden Dawn. Not going to be Hermetic. Something Egyptian. Good times. But it's a new blog, a new voice, a new outlook; we have a grape vine. 

A grape vine, named after one of Khari's students. Because during Teacher's Thanksgiving Week, his family gave Khari, a gift card that covered the cost of the grape vine. Of course, having just read the website of a church that threw me out under Safe and Sober, while celebrating of life of a dead mentor, having barely escaped Hell myself last year, secretly having a daughter (maybe), buying a grape vine set off a lot in my head.

Oh well, I picked up the blogging needle again. Just a different home. 

But Facebook? Really? Nah.

I see no intention in this little vine to rule the world, do you?
