Why Contribute?

The vitality of the Lodge and its activities are the direct result of the creativity and industry of our membership. Your financial assistance ensures that Sekhet-Maat Lodge will have the means to improve and expand the facilities and services we offer, including Initiation, the Gnostic Mass, Education, Lion & Serpent, our Library, Feasts and all that our Mission implies.

How it's used

Your contribution will primarily support the Lodge rental and maintenance costs, which are the vast majority of our expenses and our first priority in budgeting. So much of what we do depends on the ability to maintain a temple outside the homes of our members. We do have income exceeding these expenses, however, and that excess is spent:

• to improve our existing resources and materials, like temple furniture, equipment, magical weapons, and so on;
• to improve our departmental budgets, so that for example we may purchase consumables that are generally donated by members, or to improve the printing of Lion & Serpent;
• to implement your vision for events and projects.

Membership and Affiliation

Our members and affiliates build the Lodge with regular financial contributions and, frequently, contributions of time and energy. This gives all of us us a firm foundation to walk upon, and a monthly income that we can rely on for the basics. As each of us contributes our fair share, we attain self-sufficiency and our fundraising efforts can go toward improving our services, furniture, etc. Encourage your brothers and sisters!
