The Camp of the Golden Lotus
Description
The Camp of the Golden Lotus is an official body of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), located in Laguna Hills, California, USA. Soror Lutea, Master of the Camp was granted the right to organize the Degrees of the MMM by the National Grand Master General, Sabazius X on the 24th of April 1999.
The Camp of the Golden Lotus is also the home of The Sanctuary of the Holy Grail, whose Priestess and Priest are Soror Lutea and Frater S.L.Q. They operate under the auspices of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, the ecclesiastical branch of the O.T.O., and hold regular performances of Liber XV, the Gnostic Catholic Mass. The purpose of the Mass is to "administer the virtues to the bretheren," to its Camp members and interested members of the public. The Sanctuary also performs the Rites of Baptism, Confirmation, and Ordination to those that meet the EGC requirements.
The Camp recognizes and honors the Rituals of the Elements and Feasts of the Times throughout the year, as well as participates in The Rites of Eleusis as set forth and written by its esteemed creator, Aleister Crowley. Additionally, many classes on Thelemic thought and rite are presented, as well as classes and workshops on magic in general. The Camp of the Golden Lotus specializes in the history, art, literature, philosophies and magic of Ancient Egypt, which have so greatly influenced Thelemic thought and ritual. The Camp also possesses an extensive library of Thelemic, Egyptian and Occult literature for the viewing of its members.
