Wow, July is almost over, how in the world did that happen?! It's been a very busy month for pretty much all members it seems, I know it has been for me! As was already announced, the O.S. has updated both its logo and mission statement, trying to better illustrate the diversity the O.S. strives for. It is still commonly believed that we are a Setian organization, but this is simply not the case, and many members do not identify as "Setian." These updates were some of the biggest announcements for this month, but there's no need to retread old ground here!



The second volume of The Imperishable Star should be coming at the end of August or beginning of September, right now everything is just being finished up and the editing is starting. Once again it is looking like there will be 10 articles in this volume, though there may be an additional article or two. The articles to expect thus far are:



1. The Pale Lady - a true story from W. Adam Smythe



2. Sigil Magic - an essay by Child of Darkness



3. Subjective Thoughts on the ONA - a piece by Xepera maSet



4. The Importance of Ego and Self - and essay by W. Adam Smythe



5. Xeper as the Will to Power - essay by Kheper



6. Who is Lucifer? - essay from the defunct Order of the Dawning Sun



7. (untitled work on L-Fields) - a scientific experiment by Onyx



8. Chaoskampf - an essay by Xepera maSet



9. Homage to Set and Summoning of the Nine Neteru - a ritual by Setamontet



10. Good vs. Evil and the Unchanging - an essay by Agape Therion



The O.S. sends its best wishes with Merytseth, who has left the order for unknown spiritual reasons. Her works on mathematics, and the influence from those works, will hold a permanent place within the O.S. Unfortunately her work on The Serpent and the Demonic Feminine will not be available in vol. II as planned, but a new version of the project will be in the works for vol. III.



As always, we are thankful to everyone who engages in the O.S. forums, and to everyone who supports us in their own ways. Our goal has been and remains the growth of available, accurate, and up to date information on the esoteric WLHP, and we will continue to seek ways to accomplish this!
