ABOUT THE OTO

The Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) is an international religious body whose core philosophy is the principle of Thelema (a Greek word for will), as espoused in Liber Al vel Legis, or the Book of the Law.

Many people come to the OTO through the introduction they have had to Thelema in the writings of Aleister Crowley. Sometimes it is an exciting and radical new concept for us, though, often, we are just responding to an inner recognition of a truth we already know.

Generally, OTO initiates are an introspective bunch with a high level of inquiry, encouraged to explore a range of practices in order to find a path that reverberates with their own sense of self.

Being born into an Hermetic tradition, we commonly utilise tools such as Ceremonial Magick, Qabalah, the Tarot, Astrology and all manner of what has previously been known as "occult" knowledge

The shared experience of the Order's initiation structure creates an environment of collective wisdom and support for those who earnestly seek the Light.
