Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.)

Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) is a mystical and spiritual organization founded in the early 20th century, initially inspired by Freemasonry and Western esoteric traditions. It aims to promote personal development, spiritual growth, and the pursuit of truth through ritual, symbolism, and philosophical teachings. The organization emphasizes individual will, self-awareness, and the exploration of mystical practices. While it originally incorporated some elements of ceremonial magic, O.T.O. today focuses on a diverse path of spiritual discovery, often associated with the teachings of Aleister Crowley, its most influential figure. It functions as a fraternity dedicated to esoteric knowledge and inner transformation.
