I think the English translators mistranslated the Japanese rendition of the Ordo Templi Orientis as the Eastern Magic Society lmao
>VILE baphomet
A pun Crowley referring to himself as baphomet, and the baphomet of the Gnostic mass (which correlates to something akin to The Son in the Christian trinity but the Gnostic Mass isn’t just referring to how this idea appears in Christianity, the Vau of YHVH, and the world of Yetzirah)
>Mara
Another joke on the whole sex magic thing in the upper grades, calling OTO members sex addicts. Those who are imaginative are sure to be disappointed, the OTO doesn’t allow people into the sex magick degrees anymore and on the rare chance it does happen it’s without the sex.

I find it funny because I am a member, there is actually the OTO in Japan but it’s in Kyoto
