Oh dear ... more OTO 'stuff' .

Laura Borealis

Fascinating how L. Ron Hubbard is a follower (present tense) when he's been dead for decades!

I'm not sure of the article date ... cant be that old though :laugh:

Surprisingly it does quote " UK - based historian Ronald Hutton ; ... For members now it is not about practicing spells. OTo is about character building, using magical acts to become a stronger more efficient person.It's about willpower. Its more mental magic than anything to do with cauldrons. "

But then goes on to comment : " While Professor Hutton espouses OTO benefits. Woman's Day's expert therapist isn't convinced.'

Although it doesn't go on to say why, or who this 'expert therapist' is.

As if it ever had much to do with cauldrons! :laugh:

Well then, my mind is made up, I'm dropping all this stuff. I can't argue with a "Women's Day" expert.

Oh and by the way, I happen to know for a fact Hubbard isn't dead, he was taken to the mothership by Xenu.

Just yesterday I was chastised by the mod of an OTO group on Facebook, because when someone asked some questions about Thelema, and nobody was giving them answers, I recommended they come here. I got a message saying that mentioning "other groups" was "not ok."

Careful! He may cook up a curse on AT in his cauldron:

Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.​

CAPRICORNUS. Procul, O procul este profani!

[He performs the Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. He next lights the hell-broth and recites:]

Even as the traitor's breath
Goeth forth, he perisheth
By the secret sibilant word that is spoken unto death.
Even as the profane hand
Reacheth to the sacred sand,
Fire consumes him that his name be forgotten in the land.
Even as the wicked eye
Seeks the mysteries to spy,
So the blindness of the gods takes his spirit: he shall die.
Even as the evil priest,
Poisoned by the sacred feast,
Changes by its seven powers to the misbegotten beast:
Even as the powers of ill,
Broken by the wanded will,
Shriek about the holy place, vain and vague and terrible:
Even as the lords of hell,
Chained in fires before the spell,
Strain upon the sightless steel, break not fetters nor compel:

So be distant, O profane!
Children of the hurricane!
Lest the sword of fire destroy, lest the ways of death be plain!
So depart, and so be wise,
Lest your perishable eyes
Look upon the formless fire, see the maiden sacrifice!
So depart, and secret flame
Burnt upon the stone of shame,
That the holy ones may hear music of the sleepless Name!
Holy, holy, holy spouse
Of the sun-engirdled house,
With the secret symbol burning on thy multiscient brows!...
Even as the traitor's breath
Goeth forth, he perisheth
By the secret sibilant word that is spoken unto death.

CAPRICORNUS. Brethren, let us awaken the Master of the Temple.

...

I.Brother Aquarius, I scent danger.

AQUARIUS. I. Master, there are evil things abroad. [To CAPRICORNUS] Turn out the guard!

CAPRICORNUS. Brethren, stand to your arms!

[All PROBATIONERS rise and follow him. He pricks all assistants with his spear, inspects doors, etc.]

Master, every man is vigilant at his post. There is no alarm.

MAGISTER TEMPLI. I. Brother Aquarius, I scent danger.

AQUARIUS. I. Master, there is a traitor within the gates.

[To CAPRICORNUS] Inspect the garrison!

CAPRICORNUS. Brethren, purify your hearts!

[He rises and looks into every eye. When he comes to BRO. C. he hales him forth by the hair, before the altar, and plunges his spear into him. He completes inspection. Returns and bows to MAGISTER TEMPLI.]

Master, justice has been executed upon the traitor. Only the faithful remain.

MAGISTER TEMPLI. So perish all traitors!

[CAPRICORNUS extinguishes light.]

Well, obviously I was hoping to uncover the conspiracy of Satan worshipping, but it actually reads more like the bulletin board of an old-age home...

Behind the green door of the old age home are the orgies of the OTO Satanic sex cult. Be afraid, be very afraid.
