17th August 1996

 Hi Peter,

 I hope you have NOT (well, who cares) been in contact with Gianfranco 
 Perilli (aka Francgiano Ripel) he wrote some books and he thought he was 
 (of course) a reincarnation of Crowley..... I met this creep personally, 
 he was actually [...] like a beast :-)

 But I know stories like an OTO member trying to awaken his Kundalini with 
 a broom in his ass! His father came in and found him - they were fighting 
 for the broom ! :-)

 Nevio kept this contact. I had contacts with Bertiaux since Nevio,
 though being officially in charge of the Order, was mostly drunk all
 the time. This is why I took the reins of the Order myself unofficially
 and pursued the contact with MB.



>Can you tell me who TODAY is heading all those OTO-groups in Italy?

 This must be (was in 1990) Roberto N*** (Fr. Moloch) who I can tell
 you did something I've never tried (as I AM a gentleman...) made some
 papers and asked N*** to sign them when he was completely drunk,
 to get the authority from him of OTO chief. Disgusting. But later in
 the years I met him and he is not a bad guy. Just a bit too Nazi for my
 taste ;-) He lives in ***. I may have his old phone number
 somewhere. He should have some videos they made for the Italian TV, at
 Cefalu', with rituals and stuff, also they showed on TV an invocation
 of the Forgotten Ones, which was quite hilarious and disappointing....
 a "priest" masturbating on a piece of meat (I guess you have that
 ritual, by NEMA - Cincinnati OTO) but he was largely ridiculized by the
 media I'm afraid...

 I believe Nevio disliked quite deeply N***, the latter being a
 businessman and apparently mainly interested in gaining titles... I've
 never known about this early transition between them. It seems that
 Nevio was already a bit ill/crazy by 1983 (or at least considered so by
 "serious" occultists I've met later). I never understood completely the
 relation between V** and N***, to me it was clear that Viola
 repented that he had given any title to N*** and despised him for
 his Nazi feelings...

 la Fraternite Hermetique du Dragon Lunaire, This was the one I
 remembered V*** had the charters with.



>Der vom Dalai-Lama anerkannte buddhistische Meister Namkhai Norbu
 verkehrt ebenfalls in Fogagnolos Gruppe.

 That is not true, I met personally Norbu. I had been indeed introduced
 to him by F*** at a workshop of the former in ***. Most members
 of F***'s group were followers of Norbu, but Norbu was not
 reciprocally busy with them.

 By the Way, it is so ironically sad... to read those papers, it seems
 that there were a lot of people involved in this stuff.. but the
 Italian OTO NEVER had more than 12 members..... I am dreadfully sure
 about this. I know the names and the figures... there were only
 isolated individuals with very little magical experience! The only
 persons which were active were those you mention in your script, plus
 me and two others in Trieste. At N***'s time I guess it may have a
 bit busier, but not much... he may ha ve attracted only guys interested
 in "sexual magic" or NeoNazi magicians .....

 ... F*** was the kind of person you expect would throw bombes on
 behalf of some crazied guru.... I met only a few men who were in the
 "original" Italian OTO, and they were rather quiet.... those were maybe
 "too quiet" :-)


 Oh yes, can you imagine, in Italy MOST esoterics are on the "right
 side", I knew all of them assholes from the Fascist party who dabbled
 in magic, satanism and the like. They look like Turks, they speak
 Italian with a southern accent and still they write books about "the
 purity of esotericism" "the roman hierophants" "Thelemic integrity", ...
