What’s New on the O.T.O. Phenomenon site?

Alle Sitemaps optimiert, meiner Autobio mehrere neue Cover-Art-Bilder verpasst — durchaus adäquater Schund, wie manche wohl sagen würden —, und sowohl das MP3-Audio-Archiv als auch die Comments and Reviews optisch aus der digitalen Steinzeit ins neue Jahrtausend gezerrt, ergänzt um editorischen Meta-Kommentar für Leser mit höherem Aufmerksamkeitsbudget.

Mehrere Dutzend französische Seiten code-mässig entwirrt, technisch auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht und ihre Übersetzungen von den Schrulligkeiten und Schmerzensschreien deutsch- und englischgedachter Formulierungen befreit: stellenweise beinahe ein französischer Wiederaufbau nach Bombardement. Versions françaises révisées. Wo kein Image eines realen Dokuments vorhanden war, wurde ein allegorisches Bild mittels AI generiert.

Zurzeit grabe ich mich durch HTML-Ausgrabungsstätten, die nur noch durch Browser-Barmherzigkeit und dem Charme des Überlebens zusammengehalten werden. Seitenkadaver mit Java-Dinosauriern und Code, der eher wie ein technischer Hilferuf als wie HTML aussieht, werden nun Seite für Seite mit folgendem Prompt kuriert, ohne der alten Oberfläche sogleich die Maske vom Gesicht zu reissen: Der gegenwärtige Glamour dieser Website entsteht also diskret hinter den Kulissen; en passant fallen dabei bereits etliche AI-generierte Bilder an.

Walter Jantschik – Allzuständig rekonstruiert nicht einfach eine okkulte Karriere, sondern seziert eine Boulevard-Aktion. Im Zentrum steht Horst Knauts Kampagne und die Frage, wie sich die Journaille der 1970er Jahre auf die Fraternitas Saturni und den Schweizer O.T.O. stürzte, um aus Gerücht, Moralpanik und Halbwissen ein verkäufliches Monstrum zu montieren. Der Text setzt dem keine Gegen-Mythologie entgegen, sondern Daten, Zitate und überprüfbare Abläufe; deshalb stehen Dokumente, Quellenangaben und redaktionelle Hinweise direkt im Lesetext. Zugleich werden die beteiligten Stimmen – Knaut, Jantschik, Friedrich-Wilhelm Haack, Guido Wolther, Hermann Joseph Metzger, auch ich – nicht als unschuldige Berichterstatter behandelt, sondern als Parteien mit je eigener Rahmung und Agenda. So wird sichtbar, wie der Boulevard aus einem Fall ein Schema macht – und wie dieses Schema bis heute nachklingt.

Frohe Wei♄nachten 1963: Ein kleines Nachfolgegeschichtchen der Fraternitas Saturni, das Logengesetz und Erinnerungslust sorgfältig nebeneinander stellt.
Das Evangelium nach Johannes Maikowski. Das Feindbild Karl Wedler. Zwischen Lametta, Logenprotokoll und Archivnotizen verschränken sich sakrale Weihen und vereinsrechtliche Wirklichkeit zu einer ziemlich prosaischen Geschichte von Anspruch und Nachfolge.
Eine Abzugsmaschine, viel Papier und ein genauer Blick in die Quellen genügen, um zwanzig Jahre Grossmeistergeschichten zu produzieren.
Bis 1983.

Inhaltlich erweitert, redaktionell präzisiert und formal überarbeitet wurden zwei Texte, die die neuere Geschichte der Fraternitas Saturni chronologisch-biographisch und organisationsgeschichtlich nachzeichnen — und die älteren Beschreibungsversuche nun etwas weniger neblig erscheinen lassen. Die beiden seit vielen Jahren online stehenden Seiten wurden so aufeinander abgestimmt, dass sie sich nun ergänzen, statt einander in die Quere zu kommen.
Zum einen: ein Beispiel der Skandalisierung, Mythisierung und Dekonstruktion des Johannes Göggelmann (Saturnius). Im Zentrum steht die interne wie mediale Skandalisierung Göggelmanns durch logeninterne und externe Akteure. Zum anderen: Erweiterungen zur Geschichte der Fraternitas Saturni: Eugen Grosche, der Berg Ipf, der Putsch 1962, Wolf Rösler, E.P.H. Barth (?)/Amenophis, Karl Wedler, Margarete Berndt, Karl Spiesberger, Walter Englert, Guido Wolther, Walter Jantschik, Horst Kropp, Johannes Maikowski, Dieter Heikaus. Mit Dias von Logentreffen, Osterlogen und GAG-Zusammenkünften.

Hallo! Hier spricht die Skorpionfrau! – Guido und Miriam Wolther inszenieren die optische Ästhetik der Trivialunterhaltung der frühen 1960er-Jahre so auffällig, dass Edgar-Wallace-Filme, Science-Fiction- und Gruselheftchen wie Vorlage und Bedienungsanleitung zugleich wirken. Wolthers sogenannte "Pluto-Evokation" ist ein Ritual aus Chemie, Popkultur-Bildwelten und interner Logenpolitik.
Der Text verfolgt, wie sich Ehekrise, gesundheitlicher Zerfall, die Instrumentalisierung von Miriam als Medium, Mikropolitik in der Loge und das Wegorganisieren von Kritik zu einem Herrschaftsdesign verschränken, das auf Kontrolle von Deutung, Archiv und "Erfahrung" zielt. Eingebettet ist dies in ökonomische Abhängigkeiten und nicht aufgearbeitete NS-Biografien innerhalb der F.S., die – trotz Grosches antifaschistischer Haltung – aus finanziellen und machtpolitischen Gründen geduldet werden.

Arnoldo Krumm-Heller's No Fornicarás is less a sermon than a compact manual for occultists, recasting “Thou shalt not fornicate” as a practical rule of continence designed to conserve and convert sexual force.
He prescribes retention, Karezza, and disciplined arousal so that the “light-seed/Logos” is not spent but sublimated. He imagines this as an “astral” seminal current that ought to rise towards the brain and pineal gland, nourishing vitality, clarity of mind, and magnetic potency.
The programme is gnostic-ascetic: liberation requires redeeming the light from the world of the Demiurge through measure, storage, and transformation rather than indulgence. He stresses moderation and technique — “arousal yes, discharge no” — thereby distinguishing his approach from later libertine or sacramental sexual magic.
All told, the text functions less as moral exhortation than as a small technology of transmutation, directed towards health, will, and spiritual development.

A newly written introduction to a cluster of texts by and about Arnoldo Krumm-Heller. German-born physician, revolutionary, and esoteric entrepreneur, he founded the Fraternitas Rosicruciana Antiqua in order to promote a sacramental, Christ-centred form of Gnosis. His teaching combined Rosicrucian and theosophical materials with astrology, runes, and Kabbalah, while borrowing selectively from Thelema yet retaining an ascetic and therapeutic temper. The Gnostic Masses he composed emphasised healing, forgiveness, and miraculous signs, standing at some distance from Crowley’s more libertine liturgy even where Baphomet and Thelemic slogans were eclectically retained. Rooted in Latin American experience, medical practice, and revolutionary episodes in Mexico, his vision was as biographical as it was doctrinal. Charismatic yet polemical, Krumm-Heller appears here both as an innovator who translated lived experience into a healing Gnosis, and as a compiler whose ideological borrowings and antisemitic dogmas rather compromised the coherence of the whole.

Consecration In Transit.
How, precisely, was the 'Caliphate' Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica constructed rather than inherited — and why?
In the back seat of a car, as William Heidrick described it: a pragmatic manoeuvre performed on the way to a notary. Not a rite of transmission, but a bureaucratic sleight of hand — sacral authority improvised to satisfy tax-exempt requirements. Grady McMurtry, facing collapse and solitude, later admitted to having activated the ‘Caliphate’ in “an afternoon of despair”, armed with little more than Crowley’s ambiguous paperwork.

A freshly revamped introductory page to the texts of the Fraternitas Saturni.

New introduction to the collection of texts on Kenneth Grant's Typhonian Order. Some of the LAM-related articles there are now adorned with AI-generated images.

Theodor Reuss’ Büchlein Lingam-Yoni oder die Mysterien des Geschlechts-Kultus von 1906 stützt sich angeblich auf „alte und geheime Dokumente eines Ordens“, ist aber im Wesentlichen eine Bearbeitung der Schriften des viktorianischen Phallusforschers Hargrave Jennings.
Der Text entfaltet sich in einer einzigen Tonlage: Alles – von indischen Tempeltürmen über christliche Kuppeln bis hin zu den Kreuzen von Palenque oder den Haingöttern der Hebräer – wird auf die dyadische Einheit von Lingam und Yoni zurückgeführt. Jeglicher Interpretationsspielraum wird zur Sexualallegorie verengt. So entsteht eine „Universalgeschichte des Phallus“, deren suggestive Kraft aus radikaler Gleichmacherei resultiert, die quellenkritisch jedoch auf tönernen Füßen steht.

Deutsche Vollversion: Theodor Reuss: Lingam-Yoni oder Die Mysterien des Geschlechts-Kultus (1906).

Reuss konstruiert eine Traditionslinie, die seinen im selben Jahr noch embryonalen O.T.O., ohne ihn zu nennen, als Erben eines angeblich uralten, weltumspannenden Geschlechtskultes ausweist. Lingam-Yoni gibt sich als religionswissenschaftliche Aufklärung, wirkt bei näherem Hinsehen jedoch wie ein Manifest über die Ursprünge des eigenen Vereinslebens. Die „Mysterien des Geschlechts-Kultus“ erklären weniger die alten Religionen, als dass sie die Selbststilisierung des O.T.O. vorbereiten.

New introduction to the rituals of Theodor Reuss.

In the meantime, a remarkable amount of new context has managed to insinuate itself into the individual article links on the introductory page.

Revised: Gabriel Montenegro y Vargas (1907–1969) was closely connected to figures like Karl Germer, Jane Wolfe, and Helen Parsons Smith. During the 'Caliphate' succession crisis, he challenged Grady Louis McMurtry’s claims and declined Hermann Joseph Metzger’s offer of leadership. For a brief time, he became entangled in the convoluted politics surrounding Walter Englert’s Frankfurt-based Illuminaten-Orden.

As usual, a few AI-generated images have crept in — duly labelled, of course — along with expanded takes on familiar controversies: for example, the Introduction to the development of the Ordo Templi Orientis in Canada, and the ‘Caliphate’ Inquisition and the Ordo Templi Orientis Foundation. Friedrich Lekve’s Weisse und Schwarze Messe now also arrives with a somewhat more elaborate introduction.

Ulla von Bernus (1913–1998).
Als selbsternannte „Satanspriesterin“ mit anthroposophischem Hintergrund, medialem Spektakel und juristischen Kontroversen avancierte Bernus zur umstrittenen Figur der westdeutschen Okkultszene. Außerdem mit von der Partie: Jürgen Gisselmann, Dieter Heikaus, Horst Kropp, Walter Krappatsch, Hermann Joseph Metzger – sowie ein irritierter prä-Alien Hansruedi Giger.

This website was launched in the spring of 1996, when bandwidth was scarce and the internet moved rather less briskly than it does now. Consequently, images were small and often in GIF format. Today, global connections are faster, and many of those earlier images no longer offer adequate resolution. Most visits to the site now come from mobile devices, followed by computers and then tablets, as the graph below shows: For that reason, many of the images are being rephotographed or rescanned so they may appear in a form less beholden to the technological austerities of the 1990s.
Further documents are also in preparation, as available web-hosting storage has increased significantly.

As most visitors now reach my website by mobile phone, I have spent the past few days making my article 'The Laughing Gnostic David Bowie' rather less hostile to small screens. This involved incorporating numerous new documents and tidying a number of smaller details.
For instance, there is now an update on the present condition of Boleskine, the former abode of Aleister Crowley and Jimmy Page. According to Angie Bowie, it was Page (alongside Ken Pitt) who ignited Bowie's interest in the occult.
Several further nuances concerning Bowie's occasionally unconventional activities in the 1980s, in an occult context, have likewise been added.
Incidentally, have I conveyed the fact that 'Station to Station' was a gay pornographic film produced in 1974?
Finally, my thanks go to fellow Bowie enthusiasts whose valuable insights helped sharpen the accuracy of the text throughout.

Johannes Goeggelmann / Frater Saturnius: Beispiel einer Skandalisierung durch den Boulevard. Adolf Hemberger, Horst Knaut, Friedrich–Wilhelm Haack.
Skandalisierung, Mythos und Dekonstruktion des Johannes Göggelmann (Saturnius) in der Fraternitas Saturni.
Im Fokus steht die interne wie mediale Skandalisierung Johannes Göggelmanns durch sowohl externe als auch logeninterne Akteure des esoterischen Feldes – namentlich Horst Knaut, Adolf Hemberger und Friedrich-Wilhelm Haack. Göggelmann erscheint dabei als randständige, zugleich jedoch paradigmatische Figur innerhalb der Fraternitas Saturni: ein marginalisierter Außenseiter, dessen Briefe, Zeichnungen und ikonographischen Notate zwar in diversen Nachlässen kursieren, jedoch weder systematisch aufgearbeitet noch eindeutig in den kanonischen Bestand der Loge integriert worden sind.
Als Ursprung dieser Rezeption fungieren insbesondere die pseudowissenschaftlich aufgeladenen Veröffentlichungen Adolf Hembergers. Die darin enthaltenen, häufig entstellenden Zuschreibungen erfahren rasch Anschluss in konservativen Presseorganen, wo sie zur medienwirksamen Konstruktion eines Narrativs vom „okkulten Wahnsinn“ stilisiert werden. Die daraufhin einsetzende Medienspirale entzieht sich jeglicher kritischen Kontrolle und kulminiert in den eskalierenden Skandalisierungsdiskursen der Sensationspublizistik der 1980er Jahre.
In deren Sog geraten auch andere Akteure der esoterischen Szene – etwa Walter Jantschik, Guido Wolther oder Ulla von Bernus – und werden in ein assoziatives Netz aus Skandalrhetorik, Satanismusimaginarien und innerlogistischer Machtpolitik eingespannt. Die Biographien und Rollen von Johannes Maikowski, Horst Kropp und Dieter Heikaus illustrieren exemplarisch die instabilen Konstellationen zwischen charismatischer Selbstinszenierung, ritueller Autorität und medial vermittelter Resonanz innerhalb eines zunehmend fragmentierten und ideologisch übercodierten okkulten Milieus.
Die vorliegende Analyse unternimmt daher den Versuch, Göggelmanns schriftliche und bildliche Äußerungen von der sie überlagernden Skandalisierungssemantik zu lösen und sie stattdessen als Ausdruck einer subjektiv motivierten, symbolisch überdeterminierten Form der Selbstsuche und transgressiven Sinnproduktion zu rekontextualisieren.

Transgender and the Secrets of the O.T.O.

Johannes Maikowski, a member since 1950/1955, was appointed as Eugen Grosche's successor and Grand Master of the Fraternitas Saturni in December 1963. He was re-elected by his own adherents in 1964/65. In 1983, there was an election of a new Grand Master by a competing F.S. group, which forced him to abandon the name of the lodge in the same year. In 1993, he founded several lodges, including the Communitas Saturni and the Grossloge Gregor A. Gregorius der FS in Kaiserslautern (GAG), with some members holding dual memberships with the Ordo Templi Orientis and regular Freemasonry. However, Maikowski declared his own lodge foundations to be null and void. Despite this, some of these lodges continue to exist. In 2003, the GAG merged with the formerly competing Fraternitas Saturni in Berlin. Maikowski still considers himself the only legitimate Grand Master.

Eugen Grosche hat nie über seine Emigration in die Schweiz und Italien gesprochen. Er hat sich auch nie über seine politischen Ansichten geäussert. Grosche lebte von seiner Buchhandlung und den Mitgliederbeiträgen. Warum hat Grosche Nazis in der Fraternitas Saturni geduldet? Es fiel niemals ein antisemitisches Wort. Miriam Wolther, eine ehemalige jüdische KZ–Insassin, hat sich ebenfalls nie geäussert.

Bis vor seinem Tode war Eugen Grosche (1888–1964), der Gründer der Fraternitas Saturni, völlig gesund. Es gab keinen Logenraum. Wilhelm Reichs ORGANON–Kasten. Was hat Grosche am meisten interessiert? Was wusste Johannes Maikowski / Immanuel von Grosche? Ria Grosche war immer alleine. Gregorius war der Über–Papa. Eugen Grosche war Mitglied der Evangelischen Kirche.

Johannes Maikowski erinnert sich an Walter Englert, Margarete Berndt, Karl Spiesberger, Herman Wagner, Walter Jantschik, Horst Kropp, Guido Wolther und an den Putsch 1962, angezettelt von Karl Wedler und Wolf Rösler

Myth: The central concept in F.S. lodges is that of the lodge Egregore (group spirit). GOTOS by name and created as a bust. This is also the highest rank in the F.S. (from 'Gradus Ordo Templi Orientis Saturni'). Truth: Johannes Maikowski, Grandmaster of the Fraternitas Saturni, appointed as successor by Eugen Grosche in December 1963, speaks with Peter–R. Koenig in August 2011.

In the 1960s, Hermann Medinger was active in Walter Englert's "Illuminaten Orden"/Ordo Templi Orientis in Frankfurt/Germany for a short time but soon was considered "something of a simple quality" by its founders. The "Notes on Astral Traveling" first appeared in Englert's periodical: “Der Illuminat” – in December 1969. Imprimatur Ordo Militiae Caelestis.

During the live interpretation of the Song 'TVC15' with Klaus Nomi Bowie performed a Golden Dawn Posture, called "The Enterer" — In the Golden Dawn through stages of ceremonial initiation they wore semi–Egyptian costumes — like the one Bowie wore for a photo session with Brian Ward in 1969.
When I asked Angie whether her ex-husband ever claimed to believe in magic, she responded: “No! Just when he was trying to scare or impress people. He said that to me once: Oh come on, I’ll show you how to astral travel... yeah, right! I saw some weird shit, but that comes from fxation and visualization, not because there was any magic involved.”
Me: “Do you have any reason to think he ever abandoned occultism or similar practices?”
Angie Bowie: “I don’t think he was ever involved; he’s too egotistical to put his fate in the hands of someone else.”
