Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica

Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica (EGC) is the primary church of the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO), a spiritual organization that blends Thelema, Gnostic traditions, and ceremonial mysticism. Founded in the early 20th century, it emphasizes personal spiritual exploration, self-discovery, and direct experience of divine knowledge (gnosis). The EGC conducts rituals, sacraments, and ceremonies inspired by ancient Gnostic and mystical practices, encouraging members to seek truth and enlightenment beyond dogma. It values individual authority, symbolic ritual, and esoteric teachings as pathways to spiritual liberation.
