93,
To what end?
Lineage-wise they are all pretty fractured.
Magick? Nope, the OTO is fraternal. Plenty of Gnostic Mass action if you are a recovering Catholic.
Initiation cash factories with, in my experience, far too large a loser count to be of use.
>so much shit to sift through id need to be a sewage >processing plant.
That is unfortunately an accurate view of the various competing OTO's.
cOTO the 'mcOTO' is all Crowley by numbers with precious little innovation and a rather acquisitive and litigious bent. If you are London based the chipper Ben Collier is your man to talk to for a sympathetic view. Or Rodney Orpheus who knows his stuff but can be a bit of a ranter.
Typhonians? No longer using the OTO name afaik. Catch a talk by Michael Staley and see what you think. At least
they are doing something interesting, not sure that it's thelema though.
Albion OTO, thumbing their nose at the cOTO but do seem to be working magickians.
None of the others are big enough to warrant a mention.
>Ive met people from the cOTO alongtime ago, even signed >something,cant remember what, can remember one guy doing >evil dead impressions, join us, join us etc etc.
Next time so us all a favour and punch him out.
I have friends in the cOTO and good luck to them, but my advice, go with your gut and don't sign on the line. There are good lodges and good people, just remember 'caveat emptor'.
Network, build contacts, do the Work. Grand Orders are not really relevant in the information age.
Good luck. |
