Ordo Templi Orientis is the first of the great Old Aeon orders to accept the Book of the Law, received by Aleister Crowley in 1904 EV. This book proclaims a New Aeon in human thought, culture and religion. The Aeon arises from 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 individual efforts of each person. 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 O.T.O.
