Preview of “The Letter to Theophilus”

Last updated on: December 31, 2012 at 9:17 pm   By Aidan Kelly

The "Gnostics" were radically dualistic and radically ascetic, but they were not the only variety of “heresy” in the ancient and medieval worlds. Read more

The Gnostic Bible: A Review

Last updated on: December 26, 2012 at 9:12 am   By Aidan Kelly

I think it logically impossible for Rabbi Joshua (commonly known as Jesus) to have believed or taught that our sexuality is sinful rather than our most precious gift. Read more

Taking Responsibility for Feelings

Last updated on: December 25, 2012 at 7:45 am   By Aidan Kelly

I see that an all-male court in Iowa has ruled that an employer can fire a woman merely because he finds her attractive. The dentist who fired her argued that he was defending family values because she was a threat to his marriage. It is almost depressing to see here the same problem that Rabbi Joshua of Nazareth preached against 2000 years ago. Read more

A Brief History of the New Reformed Orthodox Order of the Golden Dawn, Part II

Last updated on: December 21, 2012 at 6:33 pm   By Aidan Kelly

By February 1973 only five people had survived the year of training in the Spiral Dance Coven; the Full Moon Coven worked the Red Cord initiation for them in February and March of 1973. Now for the first time, there were Red Cord members of NROOGD who were not members of the Full Moon Coven, which therefore decided to transfer responsibility for running NROOGD as a whole (and particularly the Sabbats) to a new Red Cord Council, which would consist... Read more

Last updated on: December 16, 2012 at 3:22 pm   By Aidan Kelly

Last updated on: December 16, 2012 at 2:44 pm   By Aidan Kelly
