THE JOURNEY OF OCULUS ANUBIS
AND 17700 SE FOREST HILL DRIVE
Oculus Anubis is a religious nonprofit that is guided by Healing, compassion, and inclusivity. As we embark on our journey to acquire our future church property at 17700 SE Forest Hill Drive in Damascus, Oregon, we want to address any misconceptions or concerns that may have surfaced due to the history mentioned in the blog post on ArticleCats.com titled “The Myth of Oculus Anubis: How to Accuse Your Neighbor of Running a Cult.”
We would like to emphatically distance Oculus Anubis, a religious nonprofit, from any negative associations or unfounded claims mentioned in the blog post. We are an entirely separate religious nonprofit, driven by a genuine desire to create a welcoming spiritual community that fosters healing, unity, and education.
As we acquire the property at 17700 SE Forest Hill Drive, we are committed to transforming it into a haven of positivity, understanding, and spiritual exploration. We firmly believe in the power of creating a space that is free from past misconceptions and embodies the core principles of Oculus Anubis.
At Oculus Anubis, we celebrate diversity and strive to create an environment where every individual feels accepted and valued. We reject any notion of exclusion or harmful practices associated with the unfounded claims mentioned in the blog post. Our foundation is built upon love, understanding, and the celebration of our shared humanity.
Our vision for 17700 SE Forest Hill Drive is to establish a safe and nurturing space that fosters personal and community healing through spiritual exploration. It will be a sanctuary where individuals can explore their spirituality, engage in meaningful events, and find solace in the presence of a supportive community.
We understand that concerns may arise given the content of the blog post. We invite open dialogue and offer complete transparency as we address any questions or misconceptions. Our aim is to build trust and create a space where meaningful conversations can take place.
Something that stood out in this particular blog post:
“If you do a Google image search on the Temple of Oculus Anubis, you have everything you need to support the initial stories being spread: a fancy gate and Egyptian-esque statue, strange-looking domes built under pyramid frames, and underground corridors. Everything holds together at first glance, until you delve into the diverse places from which all these elements have been drawn. Domes from California, catacombs from Egypt, and a river slough from Portland all factor in… The only part that’s true (the very unexciting element that readers are left with) is that some eccentric private citizens have a fancy gate and a religious statue that connects to their heritage, beliefs, or spirituality. If the gate were adorned with more conventional iconography, would anyone even think twice about it? Would websites spread rumors of a… cult or accuse a family of… trafficking then?”

This notably incorrect statement from this frequently-retweeted blog post states that there are no underground tunnels, when there are not only permits to confirm their existence(1) but also multiple online accounts from explorers of said tunnels. What else about that post might be incorrect?
Together, we can redefine the narrative and create a space that embodies the essence of Oculus Anubis.
