“Today is International Women’s Day, a day set aside to honor women who have shaped history throughout the world—those amazing and powerful Women whose very existence changed the world around them, many of whom have fought hard for equality and showed great perseverance in the face of discrimination so that others may have a voice. The history of Thelema is riddled with such women, without whom our tradition would not be. But it is also a day to honor women in all walks of life.
“It is thereby fitting that today is the day chosen for this preliminary announcement.
“Lucy and I are honored to announce a few of the details regarding our next project. I have, for many years now, had in my possession the original red altar material belonging to Soror Meral, which she utilized in a temple in the basement of her home (the original location of 418 Lodge). This material has recently been cut into sections, custom embroidered, and are now being lovingly sewn by hand into custom cup covers as used in the Gnostic Mass. (Images and further details will later be provided.)
“These relics will not be offered to the general public and are reserved exclusively for Priestesses active in E.G.C. (novice Priestesses included) —limited to one per customer, as quantities are exceedingly limited.
“If you would like the opportunity to acquire one of these unique items, please message me so that your name may be added to the list of potential buyers. When we are ready, we will pull from this list until all items have been sold.
“Each cover, maybe more properly termed a pall, will come with a certificate of authenticity and a small booklet commemorating Soror Meral’s induction into the Order of the Eagle, including a short essay penned by me. These palls are numbered 1-42, and only 38 are being offered.
“If you would like to own a piece of the Order’s history, a beautiful relic created from the personal altar cloth of a member of the august Order of the Eagle, this is likely your only chance.
“A portion of the proceeds from this project will be utilized to supply new furnishings for 418 Lodge, while others will be set aside to fund future (yet to be announced) projects.
“We thank you for your support.
“Love is the law, love under will
