I would advise consulting the premier thelema website, www.lashtal.com and searching their  forum threads and published articles. Some highly kmowledgeable people have written on the Thelemic calendar there. In particular look out for any comments or articles written by Ian Rons. The two moderators, Paul and Ian, are sane, knowledgeable and intelligent.  The stuff they write, when they are writing on their subjects, is to a scholar's standard.

 Hope this helps, Christina

The sources I will have to go dig for through some old files in
another
place. I might be able to find some online.

NONE of these explicitly name the OTO.

But one of the first thing I noticed about this stuff years ago, is
that
the alleged "satanic calendar" is far more complex in terms of
dates that have to be observed, never mind the issue of what is or
is not done on them, than the wiccan or even archaeologically
sound pagan/pre-Christian-whatever you want to call it calendar.

And a couple at least of them sound like some sensationalistic
crap that some semi Christians on crack might come up with.

But those names are on the Thelemic calendar. So obviously
SOMETHING is or was going on.

Google around a lot and you will stumble on it all. The Berkeley
crew had the Thelemic calendar online some time ago.

And whent you say "people feeding them the info" do you mean the alleged
abusers?

No, I am referring to the people who dug the information out of the
kids
and adults - with or without hypnotic regression help, and usually
the first
stuff coming out was without this.

These people have been accused by "false Memory Syndrome" and other
detractors of putting the stories in the kids' minds.

But if they did, where did this uber weird and nontypical information
come from? If the people who got the information from the alleged
victims were part of this calendar usage, why would they do this?
If they had once been in it and then quit to be Christian or some
other but nonreligious category of respectable, usually such a past
is either trumpetted or is to be found out when investigation is
done.

The only way I see this calendric oddball stuff, no part of normal
witch calendars, getting into someone's head, is that the someone
experienced more or less what he or she said was experienced, on
the occasions of "special days" that had those names, among
other days with other names a few more familiar, told to them by
the adults who controlled them, or announced during the ceremonies.

Another point is this. The entire psychiatric profession is built on
the
idea of buried trauma that is for a time forgotten, because too bad
to
deal with comfortably. Even without Freud, trauma induced amnesia
was well known to "alienists" the ancestors of psychiatrists, etc.,
and the doctors who had to deal with "shell shock" as it used to be
called. And there are those who made claims without much buried
memory to be dug up or recovered accidentally.
