polity esp.  Glad to meet an other :)

I prefer (m)OTO; Metzger OTO

> (T)OTO  Typhonian OTO

I have also heard of South African (sa)OTO, Brazilian (br)OTO -& that some 
un specicified amount have put themselves under (c)OTO jurisdiction so 
this group may no longer be extant or at least abit depleted of membership.
Frank Bennet Australian OTO (a)OTO this group is really more of an AA 
from my experiances with them, unclarified on this one.

Hi, 93,

>Actually, it's Cthonic-Auranian OTO, and if I remember correctly their 
>literature implied that they saw ALL claimants as legitimate to some 
>extent.

Gee, I remember it as the A-C OTO. It was/is organized into 3 grades, the
Hermit, the Lover, and, well, you get it.  Everyone currently incarnate is
a member of the Grade of Man of Earth.  Lovers get an initiation by asking 
for it, Hermits play what I like to call the Sovereign game. Meaning, that
once you know you are Sovereign, you proclaim yourself so. And if two other
Sovereigns affirm this, then it becomes a 'recognized' fact. This is simply
my interpretation - but then, that's kind of what the A-C OTO was/is all about.

>BTW anybody know what ever happened to Bill Seibert?  Last I heard he 
>was in New Orleans.  

I believe you can find him most days in Jackson Square in the French Quarter, 
doing tarot. His sign reads "Alobar and Raven". His hair is bright. Colors
vary.
