O.T.O. (Ordo Templi Orientis)

Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) is a worldwide fraternal organization founded in the early 20th century, originally focusing on spiritual and esoteric teachings. Influenced by Thelema, a spiritual philosophy developed by Aleister Crowley, O.T.O. emphasizes personal spiritual development, magical practices, and the pursuit of knowledge. Members engage in rituals and study texts that explore the relationship between the individual and the universe. The organization combines elements of Western occult traditions with a progressive view on personal liberty and sexuality. Today, O.T.O. attracts individuals interested in mysticism, spirituality, and the study of human consciousness.
