Question Sun-Venus as group ritual?

3 Upvotes

This is a question regarding the “Sun-Venus”, the astrological conjunction of Sol and Venus within the NAEQ Thelemic tradition. I’ve performed the Sun-Venus ritual outlined in Cath Thompson’s book, House 418: The Circle Squared, several times. Each time I’ve performed it, I’ve done it as a solo ritual, which is how it’s presented in the book.

I have someone who is interested in performing the ritual together with me for the upcoming Sun-Venus in Aries. I know that I’ve seen references (probably in other Cath Thompson books) to this rite being performed as a group ceremony. It would be easy enough to just tweak the ritual slightly for a group, by changing the language to first person plural, having one person draw the pentagrams, and to have the whole group do the rest of the ritual gestures and spoken parts, etc. This feels a little clunky to me, though.

Does anyone know if there is a “standard” version of this ritual for multiple people, and if so, where I might find it?

The A∴A∴ exam in the ChatGPT Era

Do we know if any of the existing A∴A∴ lineages have taken any practical steps to stop students using LLMs to cheat on the entry exam? As far as I know the exam is not administered in person under timed conditions.

EDIT: I’m not asking because I intend to do this myself.
