Ordo Templi Orientis

Good number of years.

If you've already met your local body and they don't seem batshit, then there's a lot of info but in terms of basics not covered in the wikipedia page I keep Secret Rituals of the OTO, OTO Rituals and Sex Magic, and like some out of date administrative documents, Breeze election audios, etc., etc., etc. over in my archive:

OTO dox are under >A.'.A.'.>Thelema

It's kind of a dumpster fire and will probably get worse before it gets better. Some bodies are decent, others range from mediocre to horrible.

The basics: it's a pseudo-masonic organization whose principal asset is a secret of sexual magic, which as one might expect nearly everyone knows. The first four degrees are open to anyone, while the rest are by invitation only. The higher you progress, the less freedom you have.

Not op, but thank you for sharing.

I may just stick with masonry and the accepted side orders then, the only other one that interested me was something like order of the mythic dawn but that looked like an even crazier version of oto

If you're looking for instruction you're not going to get it from the OTO.

Yep. You're more likely to get better information in one of the Occult & Magick threads on /x/, to be honest.

What do you mean by this?

>>17903545

The oaths you take bind your will ever more tightly to that of the Order and its leadership.

Do you have to be their sex slave?

The sex stuff is kind of intriguing but also kind of off-putting to me, especially since it attracts so many weirdos, I'm sure.

>>17902517
Trust me, they want absolutely nothing to do with any of you faggots.

>>17903574

No, usually not.
