Moorish Orthodox Church

public - created 07/30/03
The MOC is not particularly Morrocan, decidedly Unorthodox, and far too disorganized to be a Church. Inspired by the mad ravings of Hakim Bey, the sublime poetry of Jellalludin Rumi, the antinomian myth of Hassan-I-Sabbah, the heroic martyrdom of Noble Drew Ali, the transcendental bliss of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and myriad other shining threads, we wander the Garden of Forking Paths.

To quote one of our guiding lights: "Moorish Orthodoxy is like a mirror in which each seeker beholds a beloved form, each one different. We have no required ritual and no source of authority other than those the individual imagination provides. We do however perhaps share a certain "taste" or spiritual aesthetic."

Saki! A cup of wine for our new friends and another round for our old friends!
