Talk:The Ceremony (ritual)

name change?

I think a more appropriate name for this page would be "The Ceremony (ritual)" --to separate it from Daniel's video by the same title. Or perhaps "Bree's Ceremony", as everything else relating to it is often described as "Bree's pills", "Bree's injections", etc. No one really calls it "Bree's ritual", so I often find myself writing [Bree's ritual|the ceremony] and such when editing articles. Any objections if I change the name? OwenIsCool 00:25, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Influences?

I am unclear as to why these two influences were singled out? There are so many others that could have been influencing it too....ie Babylon Rising ( Parsons and Hubbard).--Macabea13 23:29, 17 January 2007 (CST)

The Body of Light and the Gnostic Mass were singled out because 1) they were already there when I cleaned up the article, and 2) because they're both linked to Aleister Crowley. Why should we mention Babylon Rising? and what is it? sry, I really haven't heard of it. OwenIsCool 23:59, 17 January 2007 (CST)

 : Oops, I am sorry I meant Babalon Working: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babalon_Working. Not exactly a clear connection, but one that semed pertinent at the beginning. My point was that Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard followed Crowley closely, and came up with some very potent rituals on their own, that resonated in the early days. Don't know how they stand up now. I think you are right that The Body of Light and Gnostic Mass were influences, I, too, saw the connection. I did see other connections too. I should probably do more research again, but would hate to have to, since it all panned out to nothing --Macabea13 03:37, 18 January 2007 (CST)
