Date: Wed, 21 Jan 1998 13:01:10 +0000 In article <19980121014700.UAA06474@ladder01.news.aol.com>, LudvigPrin writes >Which brings me to an interesting conclusion: If the various Thelemic Orders >are *only* interested in Thelema, not money, why is there the occasional >protest over who owns the Crowley copyrights? 93 Ludvig There is an element of truth in your idea that reunification might entail favouring one OTO claimant over the others (accepting that not all Thelemic Orders are OTO type bodies). That the 'Caliphate' OTO has obtained a pre-eminent position makes it a strong contender, and it certainly has its virtues. However one need not be an 'enemy' of the OTO to criticise it, and such a pre-eminent position does attract and even require criticism - the trouble being most of that criticism to date has been merely sectarian. It is quite possible to like and applaud the OTO and still criticise it, indeed some of its members do just that. The really clever trick will be a re-unification that does not threaten diversity, but promotes and defends it. 93 93/93 Jake Stratton-Kent. http://members.aol.com/kiblah1/index.html All events and institutions other than those portrayed in this Journal are fictitious
