I've been doing a bit of research on the Memphis-Mizraim Rite, with regards to its origins in freemasonry and mesmerism, and came across this site, compiled by Mr Peter Koenig:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://user.cyberlink.ch/~koenig/hallo.htm">user.cyberlink.ch/~koenig/hallo.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>It seems to be quite a dense accumulation of resources on the history of the OTO and as such is probably a good data bank for some of the RI community that wishes to explore this area further. <br><br>However, Mr. Koenig is not without his detractors who seem to find in his work a misguided emphasis on what is percieved as the somewhat <br>sexually perverse nature of this organization. A relevent dismissal of his assertaions can be found here, coming as they are from a rival associate:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.geocities.com/athens/parthenon/7069/koenig.html">www.geocities.com/athens/...oenig.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>That link itself comes from a rather esoteric aggregation of occult reviews found here from the Sword of Horus column of The Newaeon Newsletter:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.geocities.com/athens/parthenon/7069/swordhor.html">www.geocities.com/athens/...rdhor.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Hope this can be of some use/interest. I, myself, am rather impressed by these collections of esoterica and the insights to the philosophies and practices such adherants ( and certainly many other kindred mystical orders) share. <p></p><i></i>
