Blazing Star Oasis, OTO, chartered on January 10, 2009 e.v., was
formed by the voluntary unification of three local bodies in the San
Francisco Bay Area: Thelema Lodge, Mons Abiegnus Oasis and
Therion-Babalon Oasis. Although Blazing Star Oasis is a relatively new
body of the Order, we are proud to continue the work of our founding
bodies and enjoy the longest historical legacy of any local body in
the Order.
The members of Blazing Star Oasis are a diverse and dedicated group of
initiates who are excited to offer their knowledge and experience to further the
aims of the Order and promulgate the Law of Thelema, Liber AL.
We are excited about taking our wealth of knowledge and experience
into a new era for the Order as we continue the Work in the Bay Area.
In honor of our roots, we are in the planning stages to host the website of each predecessor body, as a link to our legacy,
right here, within our own website to allow visitors to get a feel for who we are
and where we came from.
