Sword and Serpent Oasis is a chartered body of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) in Dayton, Ohio. We are a community dedicated to the active embodiment of Thelema and the pursuit of each individual's True Will.
Our purpose is to promote Thelema, offer initiation into the O.T.O., and foster education and practice. We regularly celebrate the Gnostic Mass, our central public ritual, and host classes for learning and fellowship.
Sword and Serpent Oasis offers fraternity to those interested in Thelema, magic, and occult knowledge. We support members in their individual spiritual quests, regardless of their religious, political, or creative pursuits. As our Gnostic Mass states, our uniting purpose is "the accomplishment of your true wills, the Great Work, the Summum Bonum, true wisdom and perfect happiness."
We are committed to empowering individuals through self-transformation. We provide tools such as lectures, workshops, discussions, and group rituals. We also offer our members the fraternity, inspiration, and training needed to explore their True Wills and apply that Will in themselves and the world.
