Course Seven: Lore 343
Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart (1948–) is a
Witch, Priestess, and Goddess his-
torian—famous for her rituals,
songs, poetry, and her large collec-
tion of Goddess figurines. She met
her soulmate, Oberon, at the 1973
Gnostic Aquarian Festival in Min-
neapolis, and they were married the
following Spring. She helped pro-
duce Green Egg magazine and the
living unicorns. She founded Mythic
Images, producing museum replicas and original in-
terpretations of ancient goddesses and gods. Morning
Glory has created ceremonies of every kind and scale,
from simple rites of passage to spectacular events, such
as the 1979 solar eclipse at the Stonehenge replica in
the Oregon Dalles. Her journeys have taken her to the
Blue Mountains of Australia, the depths of the Coral
Sea, the jungles of New Guinea, the ruins of ancient
Greece, the caves of Crete, and the Taoist temples of
China. http://www.MythicImages.com.Luc Sala (1949–), Mage of Am-
sterdam, holds office in the
Kalvertower at his MySTeR temple
of kindness. He has been very vis-
ible in the Mundane world with his
own television channel and many
activities in the computer world, but also roams the
other worlds under the name of Lucifar. He believes
that “a bit is only information if it bytes” and that the
science of Magick is about investigating what really
touches us. Information is beyond mere data, even be-
yond the concept of transmitting a message; it is when
we open ourselves up to that magickal realm of con-
nectedness. The world we experience is just superfi-
cially governed by the laws of causality and reason; at
a deeper level, the laws of Magick rule. Luc sees the
revival of Magick and the acceptance of the conscious-
ness dimension(s) as the major work for this century.
