O.T.O. International

O.T.O. International (Ordo Templi Orientis) is a worldwide organization founded in the early 20th century, focused on spiritual growth, personal development, and the promotion of esoteric wisdom. It emphasizes individual enlightenment, mystical practices, and the pursuit of self-knowledge through rituals and philosophical teachings rooted in Western esotericism. While it has connections to various spiritual traditions, O.T.O. operates independently of mainstream religions and aims to foster fraternity among its members. Its structure is hierarchical, with local groups and a central governing body overseeing its activities globally.
