Typhonian Ordo Templi
Orientis
From: http://www.cyberlink.ch/~koenig/staley.htm
Golden Dawn oriented organization.
Beliefs
Transmissions and communications from
'outerspace'
for the purpose of opening Gateways. The Typhonian 'deities' denote
specific operations of psycho-physical alchemy which involve essences
or elixirs secreted (thrown out and/or considered unclean) by the
human organism. Its formula is that of the XI° involving kalas
that are entirely absent from the masculine organism.
There is no comparison to other O.T.O. versions, essentially because
there are no group rituals or ceremonies of initiation at any stage
of the degree structure. The basis of initiation is the assimilation
of direct magical and mystical working. It follows that all initiation
is in effect self-initiation. There is a small amount of set gradework
in the Typhonian O.T.O. However, the emphasis is on the initiate
charting his or her own course. There is of course the experience
of others to draw upon.
