Greetings to all who are called Thelemites. The purpose of this website is to give some perspective on the work that is being carried on into the future. Furthermore, with my training and work in the A.·.A.·. and the O.T.O. to promote membership and good will. I will state what We have stated all along, that the Society Ordo Templi Orientis is the only true O.T.O.. The prophet, Aleister Crowley, named Karl Germer, and Karl Germer named Marcelo Motta. Marcelo Motta had several disciples who have carried on the O.T.O. to the present day. People who want to correspond with us about this, or membership, feel free to write. None of us seek to be the enemy of any Thelemite. I do not accept William Breeze (Hymenaeus Beta, the Caliph) as the true O.H.O.. William Breeze was a Probationer of the A.·.A.·. under Marcelo Motta in the late seventies, and was expelled from our A.·.A.·. lineage for not bothering with his Oath & Task. When a Probationer is cut contact with by a Superior for going against his Oath, HE OR SHE IS BARRED FOR LIFE.
This website shall be a reminder to people of the existence of the O.T.O., and be a link for membership. For let it be understood, we are the only true Lineage of the O.T.O. left. All others are liars and fools.
To begin, I am proud of where I have been, where I am now, and where I am going.In terms of real, active experience with Hierarchy Lodge work. I was the Lodge Master of two Lodges directly under the supervision of Marcelo Motta. These two Lodges were Menthu Lodge in Nashville and the 93 Lodge in Albuquerque. I trained under Marcelo Motta for ten years in the O.T.O., and in the A.·.A.·. I do not have anything to be ashamed of and I am proud of being a loyal disciple of a true Master.
Presently, I have written three Commentaries. One on the Book of the Law, another on Liber LXV, and still another on Little Essays Towards Truth. I have other commentaries now in manuscript form and a lot of essays. All this research can be studied by any sincere and honest student to reach the natural conclusion that attainment has occurred. Il faut admettre la verite.
An important point to consider when reading Commentaries to Thelemic Documents is a star is speaking. A star has a point of view, or a school of thought or a karma to expound. The Book of the Law exists on an infinite number of planes, therefore there will be an infinite amount of spiritual and magical perceptions. Take those insights that are useful for your Path and go forth.
My Greatest Weapon, and I have not only endured unto the end but strongly, is the Weapon of my personal Initiations I am dedicated to the Great Work, the Path of Initiation, and the growth of Magick with the Method of Science. This is all I have ever cared about, and my Aspiration and excitement for the Great Work burns strongly within my heart.
I became a Thelemite in the summer of 1972 e.v.. At that time, I had problems finding anyone else who was interested in the Book of the Law, and Magick. It wasn't until four years had passed, in 1976 e.v., that I signed my first Oath & Task. I signed the Oath & Task of Probationer on January 14th, 1976 e.v.. I signed my first Letter Patent for O.T.O.on September 12th, 1977 e.v..
Be assured that at the time of Marcelo Motta's death, I was in good standing both in the A.·.A.·., and the O.T.O.. Therefore, I am a legitimate Lineage both in the O.T.O., and in the A.·.A.·..
William Barden, before his death, had been asserting to be the Successor of Marcelo Motta. He was a highly zealous and dedicated member during Mr. Motta's lifetime. I did not accept his claim, mainly, since he had promoted himself to Zelator of the A.·.A.·. In addition to this, I questioned his standing under Marcelo Motta at the time of Marcelo Motta's death. His death by an overdose of Heroin, and the fact that he used the Parzvial XI account and his publishing to support his habit have verified to me that my decision not to accept his claim was the right decision.
You might inquire, then, who do I or who did I accept as the legal successor? Well, to understand the stand I take you must understand clearly that three voters were named to name my Superior's follower. When Claudia Canuto de Menezes aka Soror Khali Athena separated from the Declaration of Trust this meant no vote could be arranged in accordance with the instructions of the will. (This also meant that she could not pass on her copyrights, making her the most hideous traitor that has ever appeared in O.T.O. history.)
THE DECLARATION OF TRUST WAS MEANT TO BE OBEYED AND THIS MEANT A VOTE!!
When Claudia Canuto de Menezes aka Soror Khali Athena did not arrange a vote and separated, she created a wave of problems that have raised their head repeatedly thoughout the years. One of the worst, is the legal problems of copyrights in Marcelo Motta's native land. In addition, two voters, (who also had copyrights), both claimed O.H.O..
The other voter with copyrights was Daniel Ben Stone, who William Barden accused of stealing archives and robbing the grave of Marcelo Motta. With no vote, I certainly wasn't going to accept Stone, who had no experience in O.T.O. Leadership. As it turns out, he printed one Motta Commentary and drifted away from the Work. So I am satisfied that he, as well, verified my decision not to accept his silly claim to O.H.O..
No legal successor is possible as a consequence of no vote, for the instructions in the Declaration of Trust are clear. Therefore my claim is written in invisible ink, and my Duty is clear.
I do not regret my decision to create my own Magical Gesture. In fact, I am proud of the years of work that I have given the Order, to bear that Torch in times of tribulation and await the beauty of the next adventure on my Path to Wonders.
So, I welcome all to correspond with me who Aspire to Path of Initiation as laid out by the A.·.A.·., or the O.T.O..
Love is the law, love under will
