It is my conviction that Carl Kellner had as much to do with the O.T.O. as Rudolf Steiner (or Franz Hartmann or the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light): Of course, they both knew Theodor Reuss personally and shared a mutual interest in Yoga; however, to portray this common interest as the basis for identifying either Steiner or Kellner as ancestors of the O.T.O. is historically unsubstantiated. It was only after Kellner's death in 1905 that Reuss began to develop a study group that was later termed the O.T.O. Perhaps this group comprised yoga practitioners from Kellner's private circle, or it may have included members of the various para-Masonic organizations to which both Kellner and Reuss belonged. Nevertheless, all this is in no way evidence of Kellner being either the founder of the O.T.O. or the individual who inspired it. It was seven years after Kellner's death that Theodor Reuss published claims stating that Kellner was the co-founder of the O.T.O. |
