* Note: There are many groups claiming to represent a continuation of the OTO line, many with some level of validity, and none without contest. Upon this merit I see these vehicles as outer frames for the great work and they can only be judged on their effectiveness in implementing the Law of Thelema and not upon exoteric lineages for an ultimately spiritual work.
