Ordo Templi Orientis

[mike gorth]

I see this on the back of my box of the thoth. I'm wondering what it means. I just don't want to get my book of thoth out since that would take forever and I speak french not latin so no help there. Any insight as to what this means?

Ordo Templi Orientis: (Latin, “Order of Oriental Templars”)

By the way, that article gives a history of the O.T.O.

It is a Secret Society of a branch of Freemasonry. The oriental Order of the Templars or known as OTO I guess whose most famous member is Crowley. Its symbol is the Pentagram. ~Rosanne

I actually didn't realize the modern version was secret

This is from Lon Milo Duquette's page...he's actually a nice gentleman and lecturer. I've met other people from the O.T.O. and they are very nice, quite well-read...

But I've never been involved with their organization. Those that I met were from Utah and California and they participated in other conferences in a nice, family-oriented way.

Best wishes,
