Local Membership

Membership at Sword and Serpent Oasis (SSO) requires being an O.T.O. initiate, meaning you've undergone a physical initiation ceremony administered by a chartered O.T.O. officer, and are current on your dues with both USGL and Sword and Serpent Oasis. Please note that O.T.O. membership does not automatically grant Sword and Serpent Oasis membership.

Membership with SSO requires payment of local dues (seperate from USGL dues). 

• Standard Membership (0° and higher)  - $40 (local membership)

• Foundational Membership  (0° and higher)  - $60 (local membership)

• Associate Membership (0° and higher) - $20 (Supporting OTO member of SSO) 

Dues are due by the first of each month and can be paid through Zeffy or in-person at an event by cash or check.
Payments received in a new month will first be applied to any outstanding balance from the previous month.

Benefits of Membership

1. The ability to attend most Oasis events without paying entry fees. This includes the Gnostic Mass, classes, and similar activities. 

2. Some events may still have fees (material, food, etc), and upgrading to Foundational will cover most of those (and a discount for the rest).

3. Participation in degree-specific events (up to your current degree).

4. Library access and the ability to check out books.

5. Ability to attend certain events virtually (included with foundational and associate memberships)

6. Use of the temple outside of event times. (schedule with the officers for availability)

7. Eligible to serve on a committee.

8. Eligible to vote on Oasis business brought to the general membership of the Oasis.

9. The most significant benefit of local dues is by supporting the Oasis you allow our continued ability to provide services and celebrate our rites.
