When I troll for comments, it never works and when I don’t look for comments… they pour in.
Having mixed the pot to confuse people.
IF is no longer coming. IF IS
Our local magickal group performed a dedication ritual to actually move toward being an OTO body. The first stage is to be acknowledged as a Camp in Formation.
Last night the 5 active initiates in our working group officially took this step.
IF is a reality.
While the website is temporary while we ramp up…
Introducing:
I was riding the Boston Light Rail today into downtown to meet a friend for lunch.
A youngish (c. 25y) guy gets on and looks at me. I am wearing: Black slacks, black shoes, a purple button down shirt and a leather vest. (Yes, I have a new one!!!) I am also wearing my new silver OTO lamen necklace.
After a minute he looks at me and asks, “Do you practice ceremonial magick?”
Amused, I say. Yup. The necklace was probably a giveaway. He looked but couldn’t figure out which group it was. I said, “O.T.O.” His eyes lit up and like a 10 year old demonstrating her new long word the guy said, “Right… Ordo Templi…. Orientis.” I smiled and like a game show host said, “That’s correct.”
We talked briefly about the OTO’s growth over the last few years, his interest in Crowley’s material, and the local Boston group. (I gave him KTO’s URL). He commented he was at his stop and thanked me. As he got off he turned back and said, “Oh… um… Nighty-Three!” and went on his way.
I looked at my riding companion and said, “Happens to me all the time.” She knew this was a blatant lie and we laughed about the experience.
None the less… you know….really cool!
