Lon Milo Duquette will be celebrating the 3 days of the Writing of The Book Of The Law with Aum Ha Oasis in Chicago.
As well as several member only rituals and events, Lon will be hosting a series of public workshops/lectures based on several of his popular occult/thelemic works.
In the dark and brooding firmament of occult literature and media, Lon Milo DuQuette is a star of unique and exceptional brilliance. Although he takes the subjects of Magick, Qabalah and the Western spiritual traditions very seriously, he tries to remember not to take himself too seriously. This rare combination of common sense and self-effacing humor has in the last 15 years secured him a unique and highly respected position in the world of esoteric literature. Hailed by critics as the most entertaining author in the field, (His style has been compared to that of Mark Twain and Robert Benchley.) his books, seminars and radio and television appearances evoke from his audiences a curious mixture of laughter, terror, and wonderment.
Come celebrate with us and meet Lon!

Enochian Vision Magick $35 7pm-9pm

Developed in the late 1500s by Elizabethan Magus John Dee, this system of communicating with angels in their own language has survived the centuries to become a powerful tool of self-discovery to the 21st century seeker.
