The Secret Rituals of the O.T.O. ‘Saturn Gnosis’ was founded (c. 1927) by ‘Gregor A. Gregorius’, whose real name was Eugen Grosche. Along with other German magical groups it was suppressed in 1937, but was revived in 1950 by its founder, who was also the publisher of a periodical entitled, Blätter fur Lebenskunst. Grosche claimed to be a Thelemite, and frequently expressed his admiration for Crowley. His claims, however, were not taken seriously by Germer, who wrote: ‘Grosche’s manipulations are beginning to become more suspicious. In the June issue of his Blätter fur Lebenskunst he prints a childish report of Crowley — Therion, makes him even obtain an audience with the Dalai Lama and other silly things. In the July issue he discloses his game, or the game of those occult forces behind him, more openly. He talks of, “Thelemists” while, “Thelemites” should be and always has been, “Thelemiten”. The foremost law of the “Thelemists” will be, “Thou shalt not kill,” — cf. Liber OZ! I have no idea of the origin of the “thelemistic Re<strong>vel</strong>ations” from which he quotes (p. 5) the verses VI. 6, 10, 11 and 12. And then again later, III. 6, 7 and on p. 7 VI. 2, 3. It reads, to me, at least, like the style of the so-called Mahatma letters. ... Magically I see it as the deliberate attempts by the Black Lodge, or whatever lodge, to throw a stick into the wheel of our new serious beginning ... Grosche wants to make himself the spokesman for Thelema in Germany. It may be a deliberate attempt to draw the wind from our sails. It will not succeed, but shows to what current he belongs.’ This quotation makes clear that when he left the Crowley copyrights to the O.T.O. Germer did not have Grosche’s movement in mind. In an action held in the German Courts some years ago Grosche failed to establish his claim to be the chief of a section of the authentic O.T.O. Eugen Grosche was on friendly terms with Kenneth Grant whose claim to be Outer Head of the Order has been made on the dustjackets of Crowley’s Confessions, the Magical Record of the Beast 666, and Kenneth Grant’s own, The Magical Revival. Nevertheless Germer expelled Kenneth Grant from the O.T.O. on July 20, 1955. An account of this expulsion is given in Rites of Modern Occult Magic by Francis King and I can confirm that this account is correct. I have in my possession a signed copy of one of the duplicate copies of the Notice of Expulsion sent out by Germer. It is clear then that the group led by Grant was not intended to benefit under Germer’s Will either. The claims of the Californian O.T.O. also seem doubtful. Its leader, Grady McMurtry, rests his claim upon two letters from Crowley. The first appointed him as, ‘our personal representative in the United States of America ... subject to the approval ... of ... Karl Johannes Germer’. The second authorized McMurtry, ‘... to reform the whole organism ... subject to the approval of Frater Saturnus.’24 This seems definite enough, but there is no real evidence that Germer ever gave his approval, nor, in his Will, did he mention Grady McMurtry by name. The strongest claim seems to be that of Mystica Maxima Veritas, the O.T.O. in Switzerland led by Frater Paragranus. Germer held Paragranus in some regard and wrote of him: ‘The man who, as far as I can see, is chosen for a great and growing job.’ Even so, the Swiss O.T.O. has also failed to sustain its claim to authentic O.T.O. status in the law courts. file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Michael/...0Secret%20Rituals%20of%20the%20O.T.O/p1c5.html (2 of 3) [12/28/2001 2:01:50 PM]
The Secret Rituals of the O.T.O. My conclusion is that no group can establish any legal claim to be the O.T.O. Nevertheless, any group which works in the genuine spirit and can make the required contacts with the forces on higher planes that are behind the O.T.O., can regard itself as magically speaking, a section of the genuine O.T.O. Today many such groups are coming into existence. The publication of the O.T.O. rituals will aid them in their tasks; for too long these rituals have circulated only in inaccurate versions amongst tiny coteries who imagine they have some right to deflect the magical current that is designed to regenerate our Planet. file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Michael/...0Secret%20Rituals%20of%20the%20O.T.O/p1c5.html (3 of 3) [12/28/2001 2:01:50 PM]
