The Rite of Saturn is the first in the series, "The Rites of Eleusis." Loosely based on the ancient Greek initiation ceremonies, the Eleusinian Mysteries, the Rites of Eleusis were composed and first performed by Aleister Crowley and his associates in London in 1910 as a means of publicizing his magical fraternity, the A.'.A.'. (the publicity photo shows Crowley and others performing the Rite of Saturn in 1910).



The Rites have since been performed worldwide by numerous O.T.O. groups over the past century. The Rites form a cycle that invokes the planetary energies of the gods Saturn, Jupiter, and others in turn, by means of dramatic ritual involving music, poetry, dance, and the stimulation of all the senses. The audience is more a part of the Rite than they are mere observers. Crowley wrote of these Rituals, "the object of them is . . . the invocation of a God, that God conceived in a more or less material and personal fashion.



Please join us as we celebrate these mysteries. It's been many years since the Rites were performed in Austin and seating is very limited. Be sure to get your tickets before you miss out!



Arrive at Scarlet Woman Lodge by 7:00 p.m. for a pre-ritual gathering.
