Mankind can live free in a society hemmed in by laws, but we have yet to find a historical example of mankind living free in lawless anarchy.

Summer Solstice Notification
"O.T.O. Russia"
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
To all whom it may concern:
Carae Fratres et Sorores!
Let it be known to all of you that O.T.O. in Russia in a day of June 21, 2008 era vulgaris is leaving the jurisdiction of International Ordo Templi Orientis(Caliphate O.T.O.) and henceforth will work as an independent thelemic body!
The Lodge "Pan's Asylum" O.T.O. is closed and from now on it will operate in Russia and worldwide as The Russian Grand Lodge O.T.O.
All bodies of O.T.O. in CIS are no more consider belonging to Caliphate O.T.O. and officially become bodies under The Russian Grand Lodge O.T.O. legitimacy and jurisdiction with all their properties, members, financial obligations, etc.
As it is well-known to all of us, Caliphate O.T.O. hasn't real magical succession from Crowley; therefore, to believe in such succession means to mislead ourselves.
The Law is for all! We, thelemites in Russia and regions, strongly believe that O.T.O. initiation system and the works of Aliester Crowley must be free as a common heritage, without dues and fees to the international structures, copyrights, without "special invitations" for initiations in Second and First Triads, etc.!
Aliester Crowley wrote in his letter to Karl Germer:
"Now, with regard to your own successor. "My sword to him that can get it" is the rule. I do not foresee great difficulty her for you. Character, achievement, power of original thought, courage to progress, to bring the Order up to date or a bit ahead of it, insight and understanding as to the Book of the Law, the quality of leadership: these will not fail to guide you right"( Crowley to Germer, March 14'1942).
Now we lift this Sword and declare O.T.O. in Russia as the True O.T.O. Body, not an elite group of people, but the Equal among Equals! We are ready to recognize all honest organizations of people that freely follow the Law of Thelema and correctly practice O.T.O. initiations, as our true brothers and sisters, and call those who have guts to lift this Sword with us do it!
Walk forth with us in Light, Life, Love and Liberty!
Love is the law, love under will.
In the Bonds of the Order,
Soror I.C., Secretary General
Ordo Templi Orientis
In the Bonds of the Order,
Frater Aton, Treasurer General
Ordo Templi Orientis
In the Bonds of the Order,
Marsyas, Frater Superior
Ordo Templi Orientis |

Now, that finally sounds like real freedom!

Yawn!
Well, at least COTO won't dare to sue in Russia, who would?
On the positive side: More material for more P.R.Koenig books.
Love=Law

I communicate this information at request Master of Moscow O.T.O. Lodge «Pan’s Asylum» Soror IC.
“93
Of course, this is false letter. We guess this is somebody's provocation by dint of hacker's attack on our site and mail.
The provocation that happened clearly indicates the moral standards of
adversaries of the O.T.O.

93!
The Notification came
From: "O.T.O. Russia" <camp [at] oto.ru>
I was not aware that they were hacked.
That's embarassing.

93!
Really? Have you looked at the full header of the mail? There are a lot of ways to manipulate the adresses of the sender (at least for the first look) of an email without hacking the server.
But this mail entertained a lot of people in OTO, some were quite angry, some quite shocked, others said it was a fake right away.

| I laughed much reading this. As a Russian, I may say they have much more "information" on their websites that may be considered as a hoax without any hacking. Mr. Koenig should learn Russian and write a fantastic sequel, believe me. In Russian we have already one published biography/novel book with our heroes involved, written by a woman from an actual mental asylum - it looks like incredible fiction/hoax, but the story is true. |

Dear enjoy93!
You shouldn't pretend to be an adept in Russian O. T. O., if you aren't a member of it.
I am very pitiful to you and wish you sunny!!
