PEACE, TOLERANCE, TRUTH:
SALUTATION ON ALL POINTS OF THE TRIANGLE;
RESPECT TO THE ORDER.
To all whom it may concern:
Greeting and Health.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The letters O.T.O. stand
for Ordo Templi Orientis, the Order of Oriental Templars, or Order of the
Temple of the East. The O.T.O. is dedicated to securing the Liberty of the
Individual, and his or her advancement in Light, Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge,
and Power. This is accomplished through Beauty, Courage, and Wit, on the Foundation
of Universal Brotherhood. The O.T.O. is in sympathy with the traditional ideals
of Freemasonry, and was the first of the Old Æon orders to accept The
Book of the Law (Liber AL vel Legis).
Many aspirants to the Great Work have a genuine need for information, guidance,
fellowship, or the opportunity to assist their fellow aspirants and serve humanity. Such
aspirants will find welcome in O.T.O. The structure of the O.T.O., like that of
Freemasonry and the ancient mystery schools, is based on a graded series of Initiations, or Degrees. In these Degrees, the O.T.O. seeks to instruct the individual by allegory and symbol in the profound mysteries of Existence, and thereby to assist each to discover his or her own true Nature. Every man and woman of full age, free, and of good report, has an
indefeasible right to the introductory Degrees of the O.T.O.
The O.T.O. also includes the Gnostic
Catholic Church (Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica), whose central public and
private rite is
"Liber XV," the Gnostic Mass.
The O.T.O. has active branches around the world, and issues numerous periodicals in many
languages. In addition to the official O.T.O. instructions and the celebration of the
Gnostic Mass, many national and regional O.T.O. Lodges, Oases and
Camps offer classes and study programs to their members.
