 The letters OTO stand for Ordo Templi Orientis, the Order of Oriental Templars, or Order of the Temple of the East. The OTO is dedicated to the high purpose of securing the Liberty of the Individual and his or her advancement in light, Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, and Power. This is accomplished through Beauty, Courage, Wit, on the Foundation of Universal Brotherhood.
The OTO is the first of the Old Aeon orders to accept The Book of the Law, received by Aleister Crowley in 1904 EV , with its message of a revolution in human thought, culture and religion based upon a single supreme injunction: the Law of Thelema, which is "Do What thou Wilt". This law is not to be interpreted as a license to indulge every passing whim, but rather as the mandate to discover one's True Will and accomplish it, leaving others to do the same in their own unique ways. "Every man and every woman is a star".
The Law of Thelema can ultimately be fulfilled only through the efforts of each individual. Nevertheless, many worthy aspirants to the Great Work of Thelema have a genuine need for information, guidance, fellowship, or the opportunity to assist their fellow aspirants and serve humanity. Such aspirants will find welcome in the order...

O.T.O. currently operates in 17 countries worldwide and has approximately 3,000 active members. Within the broad context of Thelema, O.T.O. functions as a fraternal, initiatory, social and educational organization of a religious nature.
