Ordo Templi Orientis Phenomenon
XI° Jack and Jill Party in Tajikistan

XI° Jack and Jill Party in Tajikistan

In September 2004, I received the following emails from Tim Paigambar in Tajikistan:

Attached was his alleged XI° diploma. I was immediately cautious. William Breeze's signature seemed to be fake, and it was obvious to me that Tim had copied it from a previous posting on my site. As regular visitors to my site already know, I believe that all information must be free. I sent Tim a CD full of O.T.O. and A.·. A.·. material that I had picked up on the Net. I was well aware that he was not being entirely honest with me; nevertheless, information must be free. Out of curiosity, I asked him to send me an XI° charter. So far, Tim had sent:
- Charter for Peter-R. Koenig
- Alleged cover of a Crowley text
- Complimentary postcard from one of Tim's Moscow friends (from the alleged O.T.O. Oasis Pan’s Asylum)
- A word document on the XI°
and several other non-O.T.O.-related documents of a tantric nature.

I asked for further details, since his charter to me appeared to be another fake. What did Motta's O.T.O. lamen have to do with all this? And the images on this postcard also seemed to have been taken from my website. The teachings he sent were a crude mixture of Kenneth Grant's ideas and material picked up on the Net. In the meantime, I had asked Michael Staley about these XI° teachings, which mixed Grant's ideas with those of Bertiaux, and how they might fit in with the 'Caliphate' teachings. Confronted with Staley's reaction, Tim sent another email: I informed Tim that the then present head of the 'Caliphate' XI°, James Graeb, did not think that Breeze had a 'correct XI° lineage'. By email, I sent him several pages from my "Noch Mehr Materialien Zum O.T.O.", where I had published facsimile reproductions of several of Patrick King's instructions on his XI°. Amused by Tim's greed and persistence, I prepared a backdated XI° paper for him. I decided to use the date "11 November", the official start of the Carnival season in Germany and Switzerland. I did not send it yet. At that point, I sent off the backdated Carnival-XI° paper by snail mail. I never told Tim about the significance of the date on the XI° paper that I had sent him. I did not send him any XI°-rituals of the O.T.O.A. Of course, nor did I send him any books.
Tim had finally provided Breeze's alleged letter over email. It was an obvious forgery.
At this point, I confronted Tim with my findings.

Addendum 2018


Date: May 2018
From: D. ...

"I was looking for a copy of some of my friend Jim Martin's books when I stumbled across https://www.parareligion.ch/carn/carn.htm from 2004. I was amused to find "Tim" mentioning me in his posts in 2004. Frater NTz 950 was the name Jim gave me as a teenager.

I was born on the 1st of April 1976.
My older sister was a Wiccan and I had gotten into Thelema. Very few groups would correspond with me as I was a minor and it was during the "Satanic Panic". Jim Martin, contacted via the Ordo Templi Baphe-Metis (OTB), was an exception, and actually grew to be somewhat of a family friend.
My family and I never met Jim in person, but had corresponded for many years and my sister sometimes spoke on the phone with him.

Jim typically mentioned my motto whenever he felt moved to comment upon or mention Chapter VI, vs. 10-11 of his Book of Ba Neb Tet: "For Mars shall lie down with Venus, And in their union, a Childe of our Time." as one interpretation of those verses that he held regarded me as the spiritual product of a sex magickal operation. So NTz 950 was mentioned in quite a few places!

I am the one that digitally transcribed the Book of Ba Neb Tet years ago, sans commentary ... My Motto was also mentioned in the Way of the Warrior Magus and the later Baphomet Workbook (page 53, "the reference to 'a Childe of our Time,' is both to Horus and the Daeva's 'magickal son,' Fra. NTz, meaning 'flower' or 'hawk'.")

I do not know who your correspondent "Tim" was. I do not know how "Tim" knew the motto Frater NTz 950 in 2004 as I had not used it in many years. I just found it funny that he dug the name I used when I was 13 or 14 up somehow and then tried to "name drop" me (as they say).
At any rate, as an addendum to this story: in 2004, I had not been using that motto for over a decade, have no clue who "Tim" is/was (at least by that name), and was never a member of the Caliphate. I would not have been in a position to turn over any "secrets" of any group, and surely not authorized to do so in any way if I could. He likely lifted my motto from something Jim wrote."

James M. Martin renounced most of his spiritual organizations years before his death in 2015, becoming a rather militant atheist of the standard variety and focusing on his family.

Back to 2004

Tim never acknowledged receipt of the Carnival-XI° paper that was sent to him.

How to make your own McCarnival

Of course, my CD full of O.T.O. and A.·. A.·. material sent to Tim had by then become part of his capitalist exploitation of the cyber-hype, thereby contributing to the collective knowledge on O.T.O. and related organisations. I suspect that Tim, given his manufacturing skills, was going to use my CD as a kind of open source tool and would inspire occulture, or at least Thelema...

Several days after this webpage was posted, Tim became so angry that he manufactured another Carnival Piece, cleverly signed by a dead person: Grady McMurtry. The name "Pheredur" and the Lion Seal were taken from Gregory von Seewald's XI° Emblems.
I, of course, sent Andrey Chernov the same CD, without any remuneration.
After I commented, "thank you for having exposed yourself", Tim could not resist:

I did not react. Soon thereafter, Tim sent another item he had copied from another source.
Eventually, I asked Tim why he had stolen von Seewald's 'name' and seal, and why he continued to rob other people's work, such as the above emblems...
