Rites of Eleusis

sol 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Here are our copies of Crowley's Rites of Eleusis, with notes about this year's presentation.

The 2010 Rites of Eleusis were presented by Sirius Encampment, OTO, between 26 June and 26 July 2010. These Rites were not staged (except Mercury — see below). Instead, they were group readings of the scripts. Everyone who attended was invited to read a part. We decided who read which part just before starting.

The Rites were 5 days apart, beginning on a Saturday and ending on a Monday nearest the full moon. The 2010 cycle was:

This year's Rite of Mercury was written by Lew Finzel in 2008. The other Rites are by Aleister Crowley. We presented the Rite of Mercury as a staged performance.

Love is the law, love under will.
