93 sister,

Congratulations on your initiation.  If you are looking to network, check out a site called thelema-omaha.com  It is a collection of OTO folks from Omaha NE and the Heru-Behutet Oasis in Kansas City.

Greetings Do what thou wilt is the whole of the Law

I just received my first degree initiation, this last Sunday, here in Vancouver with my Oasis. It was a beautiful ritual and I'm very happy to officially be part of the Thelemic family. I am looking forward to networking with other brethren from various bodies and hopefully I'll see some of you at future events.

Love is the Law, love under will

Also check out Initiation in the Aeon of the Child by J.D. Gunther.  He is A.:.A.:. as well and the book is incredibly fantastic!  It was published in 2009 just in time before the 5 year period of silence.

There actually is a relatively current book (2000) on the A.A. I have not thouroughly studied it yet. However, for your reasearch purposes: The Mystical and Magical System of the A.A. -James A. Esheiman published by the College of Thelema in Los Angeles. I got my copy through Amazons ''marketplace''.

Arimesis, you have a local body in Minnesota called the Leaping Laughter Lodge.  I might suggest you contact the secretary of the Lodge.

 

The broader school of thought of the OTO is within Liber AL vel Legis.  As for the purpose of the OTO, I might suggest you read my thread "about the o.t.o."

 

I personally think of the OTO similarly to the military, you are trained in the means to recognize, honer and defend liberty.  All of these means are personal to the individual but you will be instructed or guided on means to discover them in the ranks of the OTO.  The first three grades of the system are open to absolutely anyone.

93. As I mentioned, I am a member of OTO through the EGC as an associate member. I want to learn of the broader school of thought and practice of the OTO and I have faith that you, Adley, have the knowledge that I seek or the resources to point me to. I am also interested in the initiatory structure of the A:.A:. and will welcome information. 93/93
