Having practiced yoga and magick for many years, I received Minerval Initiation in 1997. I was a founding member of Blue Horizon Camp, serving as Secretary and later as Master. As a Chartered Initiator and Ordained Priestess I delight in sharing magick through Initiations, the Gnostic Mass, or original rituals like Encountering Babalon. I was also recently honored to receive an appointment to the Electoral College.

I worked Craft for many years before formalizing my interests by studying and initiating with the Ancient Keltic Church in 1998. Working for years as a solitary crafter and later an ordained priestess with the Ancient Keltic Church, I have conducted weddings, wiccanings and passing rites, and sponsored public rituals celebrating traditional Celtic festivals. Since my initiation in the OTO, I have participated in Rites of Eleusis and both participated in and sponsored original rituals, and continue to serve the Thelemic community as Treasurer of Blue Horizon Oasis; as an ordained Deacon; and as a novice Priestess.

Cindy Weinstein, aka Soror Magdalena 463, joined the OTO in 1998. Having spent most of her life re-inventing the wheel, so-to-speak, it came as a great surprise to find that someone else had already thought of many of the magical and philosophical ideals that she had constructed from trial, much error, and pure intuitive foolishness. Not only that but it had a name—Thelema. Having found her spiritual home after 40 years she soon became active in the various Southern California bodies. At the Spring Equinox of 2003 she accepted the Mastership of LVX Oasis in Los Angeles where she continues to serve today. Cindy is an artist by trade and temperament—currently holding the position of marketing/creative director for a modestly sized corporation. She also is a trained weaver and spinner who, having no room in LA for looms, contents herself with knitting needles and her small spinning wheel. She is the mother of two wonderful children, very nearly adults at ages 21 and 17, and partner to Frater PFDV—himself a long time OTO initiate and student of the mysteries. She continues to make her home in Los Angeles, in the much maligned San Fernando Valley—which she loves in spite of what "they" say.
