‘The Lance and the Cup - the Magick of the Gnostic Mass’ at the Swansea Pagan Moot

  • Swansea, Wales United Kingdom (map)

This lecture will outline the magick of the Eucharist as demonstrated by Liber XV: The Gnostic Mass. The Mass is the central public and private ritual of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), a Gnostic Neo-Templar order which was adapted and codified by Aleister Crowley in the early part of the 20th Century to promulgate his religion and philosophy Thelema.

Sef will examine the symbolic steps which the Priest and Priestess undertake assisted by the Deacon during the Mass, to create a sacrament using the Lance and the Cup. These magical tools are representative of deeper mysteries, and you will learn how to approach the divine by creating such a union within your own magical framework.

Sef Salem is an initiate of O.T.O. and ordained Priest within its exoteric religious wing, Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, and has been immersed in studying and practicing the Gnostic Mass for 15 years. He is a course leader of Star Club which offers magical training throughout Britain, and a director of The Visible College, a not-for-profit organisation which facilitates and hosts events on behalf of the pagan and occult community in South Gloucestershire and beyond.
