from the blurb this is a seperate autonomous lodge, based on the lineage of w b crow and has links to the european gnostic vodou church, the one michael thingy has broken contact with.

Well I hope they've got plenty of money when the Caliphate sue them,this is an almost inevitable.The head of the Caliphate Pseudo McOTO USA apparently stood in court and claimed that Liber AL Vel Legis(The Book Of The Law)was a work of fiction by Aleister Crowley,and not a preater human transmission.They are trying to copyright Liber AL,they claim that everything Crowley ever produced is their property with copyrights.This effectively means that if any group try to perform such rites as the Gnostic Mass thay are fair game to be sued.This OTO group will stop at nothing apparently to wipe out any other OTO lineage citing US court orders,which state that they are "the" OTO, to whom Crowley left all his intellectual property in his will.They even tried to sue Kenneth Grant for using the OTO lamen on his books,this lamen was a pre-Aleister Crowley invention from the original OTO.
They have it seems re-written history a little bit to fit their own creation myth of the "OTO."Do What Thou Wilt?? Many in the Caliphate in the US are discontent with the managment of that Order.The guy who runs the show is called Bill Breeze and is according to most reports a asswipe who would have Crowley turning in his grave.(if he had one)
I do not represent any other parties or anything,this is purely my own opinion from the evidence that I've seen.

Does anyone think that Hubbard may have somehow accelerated the Aeon??? How may OTO's operate now??? I suppose it's like the church!!!

93,

No, they aren't the Caliphate, but they have the paperwork to to put Bill's nose out of joint.
Have met the head of this group and a couple of members but was several drinks down by then. My initial impression of the head was that he was of a classic Mercurial type, charming and scathing in turn. Not one to suffer idiots. We had a healthy banter. His story was that the lineages had been all but forced on him.
Seemed very genuine actual Working magickians, but I don't really see the need for yet another OTO. It's a New Aeon people, can we move on please.

Will
Love
