''From Wikipedia'': Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) ('Order of the Temple of the East' or 'Order of Oriental Templars') is an international fraternal and religious organization founded at the beginning of the 20th century by Carl Kellner and Theodor Reuss. English author and occultist [[Aleister Crowley]] is the best-known and most influential member of the order.

Originally it was intended to be modelled after and associated with European Freemasonry, such as Masonic Templar organizations, but under the leadership of [[Aleister Crowley]], O.T.O. was reorganized around the [[Law of Thelema]] as its central religious principle. This ~~Law—expressed~~ as "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law" and "Love is the law, love under will"~~—was~~ promulgated in 1904 with the writing of The Book of the Law.

Similar to many secret societies, O.T.O. membership is based on an initiatory system with a series of degree ceremonies that use ritual drama to establish fraternal bonds and impart spiritual and philosophical teachings.

The O.T.O. also includes the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica (EGC) or Gnostic Catholic Church which is the ecclesiastical arm of the Order. Its central rite, which is public, is called Liber XV, or the Gnostic Mass. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordo_Templi_Orientis OTO]</ref>
