About Our Order

“Learn first — Oh thou who aspirest unto our ancient Order!” : Liber Librae sub figura XXX

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 the high purpose of securing the Liberty of the Individual and her or his advancement in Light, Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, and Power tNationallyhrough Beauty, Courage, and Wit, on the Foundation of Universal Brotherhood. Ordo Templi Orientis is the first of the great Old Æon orders to accept The B ook of the Law, received by Aleister Crowley i n 1904 EV. This book proclaims a New Æon in human thought, culture and religion. The Æon arises from a single supreme injunction: the Law of Thelema, which is Do what thou wilt. The three areas of study within our mystic order are Western Qabalah, the eight limbs of Yoga, and Ceremonial Magick.
