For a start: Carl Kellner never was member of the Ordo Templi Orientis

NATIONAL GRAND MASTERS X° O.T.O. 1923
X° at the time of Theodor Reuss' death 28 October 1923: Of slightly less or doubtful provenance: NOTES:
  • Crowley is not listed above as he was expelled by Reuss in 1921 (before Crowley declared himself OHO)!

PRETENDERS TO THE THRONE
after Crowley's death in 1947:

AND SOME DID NOT WANT IT
  • Karl Johannes Germer repeatedly asserted (in writing) that HE WAS NOT the OHO. He began to do this in 1948 and three months before he died in 1962 he was still writing "I have no group or organisation".
  • Hans Rudolf Hilfiker ('heir apparent' to Reuss: never claimed the OHO)
  • Arnoldo Krumm-Heller: only claimed the OHO of the F.R.A.
  • Friedrich Mellinger, did not realise he could (was also opposed to Germer).


THOSE WHO RELY ON GERMER FOR THEIR LINEAGE.

Excludes numerous Aleister Crowley reincarnations, other less serious claimants, and the insane. See also the discussion about the XI°.

ALEISTER CROWLEY'S EXECUTORS
  • John Symonds, Louis Wilkinson: The Literary Executors who, acting on verbal instructions from Crowley, were unable to prevent Germer destroying the O.T.O. in the USA as Crowley suspected he might.
  • Frieda Harris, Karl Germer: The two Executors, who together with Louis Wilkinson, acted in respect of the General property and effects in Crowley's Estate.



This is an outline from the German "Das OTO-Phaenomen" (1994) and the English "O.T.O. Rituals and Sexmagick" (1999).
