The Secret Rituals of the O.T.O. comparati<strong>vel</strong>y onerous. It is made clear, for example, that the high-flown statements in the third paragraph of the manifesto referring to the ‘Sacred Society’ from which it is impossible to be expelled do not apply to the O.T.O. itself. For in Article 5, Section 4 of the Constitution it is laid down that the Outer Head of the Order ‘shall have the right to cancel or suspend the Charter of any subordinate organization ... and shall also have the right to suspend or dissolve the membership of any person whenever such action is, in his or her opinion, for the interest of the O.T.O.’ After a brief synopsis of the nine degrees of the O.T.O. — of which more later — Reuss’s manifesto concluded with the following ‘message from the Master Thirion’ (sic) better known as Aleister Crowley. ‘For our great comfort it is written in the Book of the Law: Love is the Law, Love under Will ‘This is to be taken as meaning that while Will is the Law, the nature of that Will is Love. But this love is as it were a by-product of that Will; it does not contradict or supersede that Will: and if apparent contradiction should arise in any crisis, it is the Will that will guide us aright. Love is easily counterfeited. Lo, while in the Book of the Law is much of Love, there is no word of Sentimentality. Hate itself is almost like Love! Fighting most certainly is Love! “As brothers fight ye!” All the manly races of the world understand this. The Love of Liber Legis is always bold, virile, ecstatic, even orgiastic. There is delicacy, but it is the delicacy of strength. Mighty and terrible and glorious as it is, however, it is but the pennon upon the sacred lance of Will, the damascened inscription upon the swords of the Knight-monks of Thelima (sic). ‘It is the apotheosis of Freedom; but it is also the strictest possible bond. It is that harmony of Legis Jugum and Libertas Evangelii1 which we once saw upon the little table above the Pastos of Our Father Christian Rosencreutz.’ It must be frankly recognized that almost the whole of this manifesto was intended to deceive. The majority of its readers would have assumed for example, that the mysterious ‘Master Thirion’ was either some discarnate entity, similar to those who supposedly manifested themselves to MacGregor Mathers and other members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, or a Himalayan superman, like Madame Blavatsky’s Mahatmas.2 Again, the statement that the O.T.O. ‘in no way conflicts with or infringes the just privileges of the United Grand Lodge of England’3 displayed on Reuss’s part either what Lenin, in another connection, called ‘a naivete which in a child would be touching, but is repugnant in a person of mature years’, or a capacity to tell a good, strong lie. For the O.T.O. not only had, as we shall see, connections with spurious and clandestine masonic groups but functioned as a recruiting office for one of these — for in the ‘Classification of Members by Degrees’ appended to Reuss’s document it is clearly stated that ‘candidates are made Freemasons by the Directing Members (Fratres Superiores) of the O.T.O.’. file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Michael/...0Secret%20Rituals%20of%20the%20O.T.O/p1c1.html (3 of 4) [12/28/2001 2:01:15 PM]
The Secret Rituals of the O.T.O. Nevertheless Reuss’s 1917 manifesto is not without interest — even importance — for, while there is no need to follow Reuss in believing that the O.T.O. was the ‘ONE ancient organization of genuine Mystics’, there is no doubt that it has been one of the two most influential occult fraternities of the last century4 with some of its members playing important parts in the activities that have led to the current occult revival. file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Michael/...0Secret%20Rituals%20of%20the%20O.T.O/p1c1.html (4 of 4) [12/28/2001 2:01:15 PM]
