It is my considered conviction that Carl Kellner had as much to do with the O.T.O. as Rudolf Steiner, Franz Hartmann, or the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light: While it is true that both Kellner and Steiner knew Theodor Reuss personally and shared a mutual interest in yoga, attempting to elevate this shared interest into evidence identifying either Steiner or Kellner as progenitors of the O.T.O. is a leap unsupported by historical fact. It was only after Kellner’s death in 1905 that Reuss began developing a study group that would eventually be named the O.T.O. Whether this group included yoga practitioners from Kellner’s private circle or members of the numerous para-Masonic organizations with which both Kellner and Reuss were affiliated is ultimately immaterial. None of this constitutes evidence that Kellner was the founder or even the inspiration for the O.T.O. In fact, it was seven years after Kellner’s death that Theodor Reuss first published claims crediting him as co-founder of the O.T.O. |
