New Temple Space

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
Dove & Serpent Oasis is excited to announce some big news. After months of hard work, we are finally able to say that we will soon be moving into a brand new Temple space. We have broken ground on the all-new construction, and thanks to the hard work of our members, we are proud to say that we will be transferring into a much larger space, one that we can call our own. We want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding during this transition time, and for everyone’s support and enthusiasm. This will be our final month in our current space, and due to the construction process and our impending initiations, we will not be having our regular Gnostic Mass this month. Please contact us privately for our new address, and we look forward to seeing you in our new Temple this June! 
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours Fraternally,
Soror De Profundis
Body Master
Dove & Serpent Oasis
O.T.O.

Little Help From My Brothers

Brother Rob and Brother Scott came over to the space today and we got a lot of work completed. Very impressed with the progress we made.

The wall and doorway for the bathroom are in place. The bathroom is so much larger than the old space that you can't even compare the two spaces. There was even some discussion today about installing a claw foot tub in there as well... it's big enough for sure.

Good bye shoilet! If you still aren't sure what a shoilet is or saw the one at the old space, Urban dictionary had this to say about it — "A disfunctional bathroom setup whereby a shower and a toilet exist in a barrier free environment. Commonly found in the dormitories of Sienese universities, these cramped and unthoughtfully designed bathrooms typically decrease the occupant's will to live."

We also started to frame the columns and half walls that separate the common area form the temple area. We'll probably utilize the space inside the half walls for storage. The columns themselves will have small niches put into them. These ornamental recesses will act as small alter spaces.


The wall also went up for the E.G.C. dressing room. This is where the team can get ready before Mass and store all of their clothing and equipment.

Never Enough Lumber

Once again, I am at the Home Depot picking up a small load of lumber for todays work. They are starting to recognize me there and have stopped asking me what I'm building. They know all to well that I'll be back for more soon enough. I should just work for Home Depot at this rate.

Framing has gone up around the utility closet. This houses the temple spaces industrial dehumidifier. We've also taken the walls toward the door and should be joining the temple and common area very soon.

The wall has gone up that sets the space for the bathroom and kitchen area. Excited to see the space start to get broken up into it key rooms.

We'll probably add a sliding screen door at some point so we can enjoy the great weather and let the breeze flow through the space in the summer.
