He - rebel - you | |
There in the darkness | |
What have you seen? What weird | |
Infernal gorgon nychtolopic holds | |
Your trance-like gaze in awestruck wonder set? | |
What lich - or visions larvae lethal have you found | |
That snares your thoughts in mesh-like plexus bound? | |
Oh fool - thou | |
There upon the precipice you stand | |
Slobbering and gibbering at the moon - know this truth | |
There is a universe - and there is a not universe | |
A seen - and an unseen | |
A Thing - and a no Thing | |
A Being - and that which is beyond Being | |
A Chaos - and a Cosmos | |
A That-Which-Is - and a That-Which-Is-Not | |
You are | |
I am not. | |

A. Here's a condensed account of O.T.O. History, with many previously
unpublished details. This is a bit dry in places, owing to it's origin. I
have abstracted a written statement I made under oath in a recent court action
brought by O.T.O. Matters only relevant to the case have been excluded, and
names of some living O.T.O. members have been adjusted for privacy. A bit has been added which was not pertinent to the court action to bring the history up
to date and to enlarge on a point or two.
This will run in at least two parts, possibly three --- moral, don't miss
an issue of the Thelema Lodge Calendar. It instructs and cures insomnia!
a Brief Historical review.
Ordo Templi Orientis was founded before 1902 e.v. by Karl Kellner and
Theodore Reuss (also known as Merlin) in Germany, with a principal mailing
address in Lugano, Switzerland by 1917 e.v. The immediate precursor
organization was the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light, a mystical society founded
in the mid 19th century, with branches in Europe and North America. Prior to
the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light, O.T.O. "traditional" history includes the
Weishaupt Illuminati of the late 18th century and the Crusading Order of
Knights Templar of the 11th century as precursors. It must be pointed out
that many other organizations also claim derivation from the Illuminati and
11th century Templars, without actual evidence. "Traditional" history is a
euphemism for "mythology" in Masonic and mystical organizations; and, as such,
"traditional" history expresses precursor relationships which are incapable of
documentation and may be inaccurate. It is documented that O.T.O. sprang from
the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light as the creation of Karl Kellner, a member of
that fraternity. The Hermetic Brotherhood of Light continued independently of
O.T.O., in its own right, and was still in existence in Oakland, California as
late as 1970 e.v.
In the first two decades of operation, Ordo Templi Orientis absorbed
elements of other fraternal and occult societies into its teachings and
structure. Some of these absorbed societies actually granted limited or full
authority of operation to O.T.O., while others were either represented by an
overlapping membership with O.T.O. or a "right to study" the educational
secrets of the absorbed societies. In 1912, a list of such absorbed societies
or bodies was published, including: The Gnostic Catholic Church, The Order of
the Knights of the Holy Ghost, The Order of the Illuminati, The Order of the
Temple, The Order of the Knights of St. John, The Order of the Knights of
Malta, The Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, The Hidden Church of
the Holy Grail, The Hermetic Brotherhood of Light, The Holy Order of Rose
Croix of Heredom, The Order of the Holy Royal Arch of Enoch, The Antient and
Primitive Rite of Masonry, The Rite of Memphis, The Rite of Mizraim, The
Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry, The Swedenborgian Rite of
Masonry, The Order of Martinists and the Order of the Sat Bhai. This list was
not considered complete, but included most of those Masonic and knightly
organizations that O.T.O. officers considered particularly important in the
makeup of O.T.O.
Ordo Templi Orientis under Theodor Reuss, Outer Head of the Order (O.H.O.),
was predominantly a Masonic organization, claiming ties with the Scottish Rite
as its primary Masonic credential. This claim was disputed by some Scottish
Rite Masonic bodies, and was abandoned by O.T.O. prior to 1922 e.v. The
Masonic nature of O.T.O. down to the early 1920s e.v. was such that
initiations to degrees in Scottish Rite Masonry were held to be equivalent to
O.T.O. initiations. Scottish Rite and other Masons were granted membership in
O.T.O. degrees by direct recognition of Masonic degrees already held. For
such Masons to enter O.T.O. at a corresponding degree, it was only necessary
for the O.T.O. Grand Lodge officers to issue a certificate of membership in
O.T.O. at the degree in question and to record the new membership in the
Golden Book. For non-Masons, a series of initiations into O.T.O. was
required. These latter initiations were represented by O.T.O. to confer
Scottish Rite degrees. In the early 1920s e.v., this practice effectively
ended; and uniquely O.T.O. initiations were propagated within those portions
of O.T.O. under the direction of Aleister Crowley. At that time the rituals
of O.T.O. were rewritten by Aleister Crowley to prevent further difficulties
through the rituals being too close to those of Craft and the Scottish Rite
Masonry.
Throughout the Reuss years (1902 e.v. to 1921 e.v.), membership in O.T.O.
was a matter of record. Annual dues billings were sent out to members within
the National branches of O.T.O. The method of record was derived from Masonic
procedures. A "Golden Book" was used to record the name, address and
initiations of each member. The Golden Book was also used to record
directives, constitutional amendments and procedures. The Reuss period Golden
Book was sold by Reuss' widow, and not passed down to the next Head of the
O.T.O. The practice used by Reuss from 1902 e.v. to 1921 e.v. in spreading
the O.T.O. internationally was through appointment and chartering of National
Heads. These individual O.T.O. members were accorded the rank of Xth Degree
(except when representing a National Head in a developing area. In that
instance the Degree of IXth Degree Viceroy was sometimes given). The
Chartered Xth Degree National Heads were expected to conduct the business of
the O.T.O. largely without intrusive supervision by the international body.
Such National Heads were required to adhere to the 1906 e.v. and 1917 e.v.
revised O.T.O. constitution and to maintain good records of the membership in
their respective countries. National Golden Books were maintained. Dr.
Gerard Encaasse (also known as Papus) was the Head for France. Encaasse's
portion of O.T.O. became ultimately known as "The Franco-Haitian O.T.O.". Dr.
Krumm Heller (known as Huiracocha) was Head of O.T.O. for Latin America, and
his provincial portion of O.T.O. became known as Ordo Templi Orientis Antiqua,
O.T.O.A. for short. Charles Stansfeld Jones (known as Achad) was head of
O.T.O. in Canada, and attached his province to that of Aleister Crowley.
Aleister Crowley (also known as Baphomet) had charge of O.T.O. in the British
Isles, the United States and Canada (with the cooperation of Jones). Crowley
used the name "Mysteria Mystica Maxima" to describe the lower Degrees of his
O.T.O. province, but used "Ordo Templi Orientis" as the over-all name. There
were other Reuss era O.T.O. provinces in several European countries and in
Brazil. Crowley chartered O.T.O. provinces in South Africa and in Australia.
Without exception, all such national forms of O.T.O. were chartered,
documented and recorded by the issuing O.T.O. authority. Secondary chartering
was also documented, e.g. AMORC, the San Jose, California based Rosicrucian
organization, had a 1921 e.v. "Gage of Amity" document from O.T.O. to their
founder, H.S.Lewis, a VIIth Degree O.T.O. member.
Theodor Reuss became ill and resigned as Head of the O.T.O. in 1921 e.v.,
dying in the next year. Aleister Crowley was the designated successor to the
Headship of the international O.T.O., and he was ultimately confirmed in that
status by Xth Degree National Heads. Crowley served as the Outer Head of the
Order from 1922 e.v. until his death in December of 1947 e.v.. Some National
O.T.O. provinces were not initially willing to accept Aleister Crowley as
O.H.O. of O.T.O., owing to his insistence on the alignment of the predominant
religious expression of O.T.O. to Thelema, a religion based on Crowley's
revelation of "The Book of the Law" in 1904 e.v., in Egypt. This work is also
called "Liber AL vel Legis", and forms the primary religious focus of O.T.O.
today. A portion of the German O.T.O. resigned en masse and reconstituted
itself as an entirely separate organization called Fraternitas Saturni.
Fraternitas Saturni continues to the present day, in Germany, and does not
represent itself as being O.T.O.
Aleister Crowley continued the practices of Theodor Reuss, recording
membership via the Golden Book and issuing charters. Agape Lodge #1 had been
established in 1912 e.v. in Canada, and was under Jones, under Crowley. In
the 1930s e.v., Wilfred Smith (also known as Ramaka) came down from Vancouver,
B.C., Canada, on instructions from Crowley to establish Agape Lodge #2 in
Southern California. Agape Lodge #2 held its first meeting in 1935 e.v., in
the vicinity of Pasadena, California. World War II broke out, and
international communications became increasingly disrupted. Civilian travel
was limited; and Crowley became very dependent on foreign representatives,
being unable to travel himself. Karl Germer (also known as Saturnus),
Crowley's German representative, was arrested by the German Geheime
Staatspolizei (GESTAPO) and confined in a Nazi concentration camp for "Seeking students for the foreign resident, high grade Freemason, Crowley". Germer's
warrant of arrest survives to this day, and he was released early in the War
through the efforts of the American Counsel. Germer traveled ultimately to
the United States, where, as Grand Treasurer General and Crowley's second in
command, he conducted much of the business of the O.T.O. The other European
branches of O.T.O. were destroyed or driven underground during the War. The
South American branches maintained a light contact with Germer until the early
1960s e.v.
By the end of the IInd World War, only Agape Lodge in Pasadena, California
was still functioning. There were isolated O.T.O. initiates in several parts
of the World; and, in England, Crowley received visits from O.T.O. members.
No Lodge work was conducted in England at that time, and initiations were very
rare outside of California. The South American O.T.O.A. held no initiations;
and sent a candidate, Dr. Montenegro, up to California for initiation.
During the IInd World War, two Californian O.T.O. members traveled to
Europe on military assignments, Grady Louis McMurtry (also known as Hymenaeus
Alpha) and Frederic Mellinger. McMurtry went earlier and visited Aleister
Crowley on several occasions while on leave. At that time, Crowley made
McMurtry a IXth Degree O.T.O. member, duly documented, and ultimately made
McMurtry the chief O.T.O. officer in charge of O.T.O. work in California and
the United States, under Karl Germer. Crowley also notified McMurtry that
Germer was to be Crowley's successor as Head of O.T.O., but that McMurtry
should hold himself prepared to succeed Germer. Mellinger visited Crowley
after McMurtry was rotated back to the United States. Although Crowley did
ask Mellinger to hold himself ready as a possible successor to Germer,
Mellinger did not receive any assignments of the kind given to McMurtry.
Crowley died in December of 1947 e.v.; and in accord with his wishes Karl
Germer became International Head of O.T.O., serving from late 1947 e.v. until
Germer's death in 1962 e.v. Agape Lodge continued in Southern California
until 1949 e.v., after which the Lodge ceased to hold regular meetings. The
records of Agape Lodge were conserved and comprise minutes of meetings, lists
of members initiated to various degrees in O.T.O. and financial records.
Under Karl Germer, the O.T.O. entered a period of relative dormancy. The
only initiations from the later Germer period were promotions to higher degree
for members initiated earlier. Germer notified McMurtry and others that
O.T.O. was to be incorporated and governed by a triumvirate of officers, but
this incorporation was never accomplished under Germer's headship of O.T.O.
Germer did charter a group in England under Kenneth Grant; but Germer closed
the new group in England and expelled Grant from O.T.O. membership in a letter
which has survived. Germer also took an interest in the efforts of Herman
Metzger in Switzerland, and took steps to regularize Metzger into Crowley's
O.T.O. Metzger was thought to have come from a post war survival of the
earlier Reuss period, but had no original connection with Crowley's O.T.O.
Germer and Metzger fell into disagreement toward the end of Germer's life.
Frederic Mellinger wrote after Germer's death that Metzger had failed to
satisfy the program of instruction set forth for Metzger by Germer under
Mellinger's tutelage. Metzger has not engaged in O.T.O. activity either
directly or indirectly in the United States.
O.T.O. members in California actively sought to influence Germer to reopen
public access to O.T.O. Concern was expressed in correspondence that a
failure to initiate new O.T.O. members would result in the ultimate demise of
O.T.O. Grady McMurtry, the USA national master of O.T.O., attempted to
convince Germer of the necessity of returning O.T.O. to public activity.
Germer authorized McMurtry to form a nucleus of new O.T.O. public access.
Germer and McMurtry had a falling out over a personal loan; and McMurtry
traveled to Washington, DC to take a job with the US Government until bad
feeling with Germer could subside. Germer did not expel McMurtry or revoke
McMurtry's charters from Crowley.
Following Karl Germer's death in 1962 e.v., several years passed before the
question of succession to Head of the O.T.O. was properly addressed. Metzger in Switzerland published a claim to being the Head of the Order, but this
claim was based on an unnoticed election represented to have been held in
Switzerland. Ranking members of O.T.O. were not informed of Metzger's
purported election until after the alleged fact. Metzger was not generally
accepted as Head of the Order outside his own group. Kenneth Grant also
asserted a claim to being Head of the O.T.O., but this was done after Germer
had expelled Grant from membership. In later years, Marcello Motta, a former
student of Karl Germer, also asserted that he was Head of O.T.O. Germer had
died without designating a successor; and some ranking members, including
Grady McMurtry, were not notified of his death for several years.
This month The Center For Enochian Studies presents a compilation of the various tables
of magical squares that bear directly upon the construction of the Holy Table and its
relationship to the Sacred Lamen. It is our hope that by placing these varied diagrams in
comparison to each other, that the reader will find the explanations; both those that have
preceded, and those several remaining to follow, more lucid. The Student may thereby find
fewer difficulties in unraveling the variety of complexities and controversies involved.
These tables are presented, as far as is known, for the first time anywhere as the angels
instructed, id est in both the Angelic alphabet and in Roman characters.
