William Blake Lodge, O.T.O., 208 S Pulaski St Suite 5B, Baltimore, MD 21223, USA

Sat. Aug. 24, 2019: Queer Sex Magic (Open)
4:00pm
Please arrive no earlier than 3:30pm and no later than 3:50pm.

Sexual energy is a potent source of magical power, but generating that power is too often discussed purely in terms of polarity. Let's journey outside the binary and explore other ways of generating sexual energy. We'll briefly examine a Queer take on polarity, then dive into resonance, balance, and synergy as intentional tools that are sometimes even better choices to power our magical intentions.

Our presenter, Thista Minai,is a kink educator and author of Casting a Queer Circle: Non-Binary Witchcraft. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signature.

$20 admission; free for dues-current WBL members. Snacks and beverages will be available.

The Blood of Helios
The Blood of Helios

August 31, 2019 @ 8:30 pm - 9:00 pm
William Blake Lodge, O.T.O., 208 S Pulaski St Suite 5B, Baltimore, MD 21223, USA

The Blood of Helios (Open)
8:30pm
Doors open at 7:30.
$10 admission; free for dues-current WBL members.

In the world of Ancient Greece, witches were supernatural beings descended from Helios and taught by Hekate. Throughout the world and history societies have had explanations for witches based on their birth or based upon spirit contracts. In American folk traditions witches were sometimes a movement of lineal progression from ancestors to the folk devil. Our ritual will be exploring and executing on these themes by calling upon our ancestors to be with us, Hekate to guide us and Helios to join us sacramentally and imbue us and our future and past lineages with witchcraft.

Participants should wear black and bring black cloth for a head covering. We recommend that participants celebrate Hekates Deipnon during the days ahead of the rituals and also make offerings to connect with their ancestors. Participants planning to take the Helios sacrament must bring some token to represent and connect with their ancestors during the ritual. Participants taking the sacrament will need to either be able to expose their arms or their backs to have their ancestor names written in them. Please bring a list of ancestor names.
