Let the evil ones be cast away; let the good ones be purged by the prophet! Then shall this Knowledge go aright.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
With the strange and tragic death of William Barden, the Order's Leadership in Australia is once again under sane and determined Leadership.
I would like to thank the careful and concise response from members who have written me from Australia. Now is the time to cleanse yourselves of his Ordeal and to revive the magick that was lost as a consequence of his neglect from his horrible Heroin addiction.
Read Liber CL, read Liber Aleph, read Little Essays Towards Truth, meditate , read our Holy Books and the Book of the Law. Go back to our secret manuscripts and awaken the great wisdom that is imparted in its lines. Return to your daily practice of magick and learn a sublime lesson on the Ordeal just past.
For today and tomorrow represent a return to our spiritual values, a deeper understanding of who would be a slave to drugs and above all, a return to that Battle of Life that rages in the souls of those who know, dare, will, and keep silent in the War towards the greater initiations.
For those Australians who are ripe with Θελημα in their souls, who aspiration and zeal burn with the eternal flame of volition on the Path, let me Greet you in Brotherhood and assure you that you may now step forth with Book and Wand, ready to add that Energy to our Temple in our ongoing Work to create Temples of Initiation that manifest the true high magick that manifests within as the Truth and the Insight.
Let it be known that a kind and hard working Australian who is known among us as Frater Apophis is now, and henceforth named as the true representative of Society Ordo Templi Orientis in Australia. Let it known that Frater Apophis, is trusted and known by Frater Sphinx aka David Bersson as a true Brother.
Those who have found it their will to become a member of Society O.T.O. in Australia will be eventually given his secret location and secret address.
For now, we will keep his worldly name secret and all Australians who would petition new membership should write this address.
Love is the law, love under will
Fraternally,
Frater Sphinx
