Event: Nuit – The Limitless Goddess

To the ancient Egyptians Nuit was more than just the starry sky, she was the very fabric of space within whose body were the dimensions of life and eternity. What is the relation of this Goddess to the modern day? Who is she now? What is the Thelemic connection?

This presentation examines the rich and venerable identity of a Goddess well documented more than 5,000 years ago. First we will explore her role in Egyptian cosmology and religion. A brief run-through of her iconography will equip the individual to recognize and appreciate her in Egyptian art. Then we move on to Cairo in 1904 e,v,, with Aleister Crowley’s experience of the Lady of the Stele of Revealing. We will see what Nuit has to say for herself, her instructions and her desires for us. A personal interpretation of her theology reveals Nuit as the Initiator of a new paradigm for present-day magick. Please join Sor. Ashera as we explore the symbols, character and message of the Goddess of Liber AL.

Soror Ashera lives and practices magick in Salt Lake City Utah. With the O.T.O since 1995, she is Secretary of Horus Oasis, an Ordained Deacon and half of a Mass Team. For over 15 years Ashera has pursued her education as a Ritualist studying world religions, cross-cultural mythology, theology, performance skills and of late – Ancient Egyptian religion. She is well known in Utah for her devotion to the Goddess and the neo-pagan community, maintaining ties with diverse pagan and international religious traditions. Over the years she has presented at panel discussions, talk shows, University lectures, police departments, schools, and pagan workshops and led many, many rituals. Aside from the O.T.O., her scholarship and energy have been directed to the founding and administration of S.L.C.’s only open (legal!) Wiccan Church, of which she is HP. Her personal spiritual focus is eclectic and devotional. She admits to being completely obsessed with Our Lady of the Stars, collecting Nuit art, prayers, poetry, and arcane Egyptian references.
