Mark Stahl
Fr. MSNV joined the Order in September 1992 e.v., and
shortly thereafter chartered Ra-Heru-Behutet Oasis, the first body of
the OTO to operate in either Missouri or Kansas. Shortly after
rechartering the body as Heru Behutet Oasis, he stepped down as Master
of that body in 2001 e.v. in order to volunteer for service on the

is also a devoted husband and father of three strong-willed children.
He holds a BGS in political science,
and is currently pursuing a masters program in socio-cultural
anthropolgy at the University of Kansas. He has done extensive study
and comparison of the system of OTO with that of old aeon Freemasonry,
and is also Past Master of a Masonic Lodge. He also pursues his
interests as a musician, having toured nationally on the
renaissance festival circuit, and is currently in the process of
recording more than a few multimedia, multi-cd projects. Mark is the

everywhere

Ariana White
Ariana White bought a Thoth Deck with her 13th birthday
money, and the rest of the philosophy of Thelema drew her in over the
following 5 years, inspiring her to Minerval two months after her 18th
birthday. She has been a member of several local bodies in the Pacific
Northwest, most recently serving in the roles of Treasurer, Initiator,
and
Priestess at Coph Nia Lodge. She is a member of the Committee Of Four
within
Psyche-Eros Rose+Croix Chapter. She enjoys cycling and hiking,
and
is slowly reading her way through the works of the EGC Saints and those
on the A.'.A.'. lists. When she is not working, she can usually be
found
spending time with her husband and son, painting or
doing ritual. She constructed this webpage, so you may direct any
comments
to her. Rain hard on Ariana
.
Dann Buchanan
Dann Buchanan joined the OTO in January of 1993 in the hopes of
furthering his own magickal progress, and has found not only enough
knowledge
within the veil of the Lodge to do that, but has found a compelling
reason
to serve the Order and through it, all humanity. He has joined
the Electoral College out of that desire to serve, and hopes that in
his term
as elector he will be able to do some good not only in the Order but
in the whole world, for ultimately it is his belief that the Law,
summed
up by the words "Do What Thou Wilt" is the most sublime of all
ethics. It is this that will elevate and refine the soul of
mankind, if anything will.
He is exceedingly glad to be serving with such brothers and sisters as
he
finds himself amongst, all of them brave, faithful, true, and honest.
Dann
is the axle of the wheel

Liesl Cluff
Liesl Cluff was born in Iona before the beginning of years. She was
first initiated at Thelema Lodge about a decade ago, and now enjoys the
home she has found at 93 Lodge. Her reason for joining the OTO: "For
pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is
every way perfect." Express thy will to Liesl
.
Deborah Woody
After practicing yoga and ceremonial magick on her own
for many years, Deborah received
her Minerval Initiation in 1997. She was a founding officer of Blue
Horizon Oasis,
serving as Secretary and then as Master of that body. She remains
active in her local
OTO community as an EGC Priestess, MMM Initiator, and event
coordinator. She takes great
joy in communicating through magickal ritual, whether it be the Gnostic
Mass, an
Initiation, or an original creation. Deborah is also a certified Hatha
Yoga instructor,
specializing in teaching seniors and students with special needs. She
was seated on the
Electoral College in Spring of 2006, and looks forward to the
opportunity to serve the
Order as a star in the company of stars. Take your
fill
of Deborah

Chris
Grabarkiewctz
Brother Chris was initiated into the degree of Minerval at
Aiwass Oasis in
San Jose,
California in December
1985.
Since then, he has been active in
OTO bodies
in
California
and the
Midwest.
He is a founder and Past Master of Therion-Babalon
Oasis in the Valley of Berkeley, California where he continues to serve
as a
Chartered Initiator and EGC Priest.
He
is also an active member of Alpha Chapter Rose+Croix where he serves as
Parliamentarian.
Brother Chris is an
initiate of several rites of Freemasonry, but found the Truth that he
sought
within the precincts of our Holy Order.
His ardent desire to radiate the “Light of Life” that was freely
shed
upon him motivated him to volunteer to serve on the Electoral College.

worship” with Chris
