The Caliphate

Compilation by Peter-R. Koenig







In 1977, a new American branch of the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), known as the Caliphate, proclaimed itself to be the worldwide “Grand Lodge” when its central figure, Grady Louis McMurtry (1918–1985), issued a formal declaration. The document read: “Let all Thelemites know that I, Hymenaeus Alpha, 777 IX° O.T.O., 9°=2□, Caliph of the Ordo Templi Orientis of Aleister Crowley, Baphomet, 666, do hereby Charter Thelema Lodge as Grand Lodge of O.T.O.”

Its History is a Song of the Whitewash.

Background of the birth of this new American O.T.O. is the History of the Solar Lodge of the O.T.O. — Charles Manson and the Occult.

The Tabby of Thelema — Aleister Crowley and events in Sicily





An e-mail correspondence between Peter-R. Koenig, Tyagi Nagasiva (known as Fr. Nigris) and William Heidrick, Grand Treasurer General of the Caliphate, on the subject of O.T.O. disputes.
The correspondence:  
      Preview of initiations, Constitution and later revisions / amendments, The E.G.U., The Caliphate E.G.C, The office of the Caliph, The McMurtry "succession", The Caliphate letters, Crowley's pun.
This three-way exchange which took place between August 19 and September 17, 1996 is valuable because it involves William Heidrick, who in seniority may be reckoned third in the Caliphate hierarchy after William Breeze (Hymenaeus Beta) and David Scriven (otherwise known as Frater Sabazius X°). Heidrick is regarded as the Caliphate press secretary. Some say his job is to 'spin' the facts in way that is favorable to the interests of Breeze and his "O.T.O.".

This correspondence, September 01, 1996 — November 29, 1996, was prompted by the posting of an earlier official history of the founding of the Caliphate O.T.O. by David Scriven, "Sabazius", their Grand Master for North America — who as William Breeze [Hymenaeus Beta]'s "X°" is effectively second in command in the hierarchy. This differed significantly in some respects from P.-R. Koenig's chronology "Song of the Whitewash".

Heidrick about the Koenig-Scriven-correspondence; "In particular, I will not read or discuss material stolen by Koenig in the case of letters of the US Xth degree, made public in violation of copyright."
