Ordo Templi Orientis has been gifted with many great writers throughout its century-long history, and much of their work is freely available for download. The following is a selection of these early works by those founders. Do bear in mind that these are very much a product of their times (some written before O.T.O. even existed as such), and may not reflect the views of O.T.O. currently.
For more information on the early members of O.T.O. please see Forgotten Templars by Bro. Richard Kaczynski, which is the definitive work on the subject.
