Aum. Ha. Oasis is pleased to welcome author and
magician Lon Milo Duquette for the Three Days! 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. He is hailed by
critics as the most entertaining author in the field, and 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. We encourage you
to listen to the interview
with Lon Milo Duquette on OTO Grand Lodge's official podcast,
Thelema
Now!
All events are payable at the door, so there is no need for tickets.

Enochian Magick is the perhaps the most powerful and elegant system of
western Magick. It is also one of the most misunderstood. 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.
