Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

For general information about OTO visit https://oto-usa.org 

The typical path to becoming a local initiate member is as follows.

  1. Read Liber CCXX - The Book of the Law

    1. Available online at https://lib.oto-usa.org/libri/liber0220.html

  2. Attend an Event

    1. See our calendar of events. Read the event description as there may be an attendance fee, required attire, required rehearsal, virtual only attendance or other qualifying factors. Whether virtual or in-person, events are:

      1. Public - Anyone is welcome. 

      2. Private - Invited guests are welcome. 

      3. Tyled - Initiate members of the specified degree are welcome.

    2. While attending the event try to get to know some members. To take the Minerval Initiation or be Baptized you must have two 1st degree sponsors (Members in good standing that attest you should be made a member or be baptized.)

  3. Minerval Initiation

    1. You must be 18 years of age, not incarcerated or on Parole. Felons have an additional application.

    2. Minerval Dues are $40 per month locally and $42 per year to U.S. Grand Lodge (the national organization.)

    3. After attending several events and having made some connections ask for a Minerval Application (It comes with a Signed Infromed Consent Release).

    4. Fill out the application. Have your sponsors sign it. Have a witness(not an Agent of OTO) sign the Informed Consent Release

    5. Submit your Minerval Application

    6. Submit the Signed Informed Consent Release and Indemnity form which comes with your application

    7. Initiation fees (currently $93) must be turned in with the application before the application deadline which will be posted on the calendar.

    8. The paperwork deadline will be not less than 40 days prior to the date of the initiation. During this time period there may be a background check. 

    9. Further instructions pertaining to the initiation will be given. 

    10. The adventure begins.
