	Grady McMurtry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grady Louis McMurtry (October 18, 1918-July 12, 1985) was a student of Aleister Crowley and an adherent of Thelema.
		McMurtry planned to start a lodge in Northern California, but his deteriorating relationship with Karl Germer (based on Germer's refusal to initiate new members) put an end to his plans.
		McMurtry was unaware of any of these developments until 1968, when he received a letter from Phyllis Seckler, a fellow Agape Lodge O.T.O. initiate who had also been a personal student of Karl Germer.

	O.T.O. under McMurtry
		When McMurtry became aware of the critical condition into which the Order had fallen after Germer's death, he was impelled to invoke his documents of emergency authorization from Crowley, and assume the title "Caliph of O.T.O.," as specified in Crowley's letters to McMurtry from the 1940s.
		O.T.O. under McMurtry was recognized by the Court to be the continuation of the O.T.O. of Aleister Crowley, and the exclusive owner of the names, trademarks, copyrights and other assets of O.T.O. McMurtry was found to be the legitimate head of O.T.O. within the United States.
		Grady McMurtry died on July 12, 1985, following the original decision of the 9th District Court, but the process of appeal established that O.T.O. continued as a corporation.

	King
		On December 28, 1971, Grady McMurtry registered with the State of California to form a legal entity for the establishment of the OTO on solid ground.
		The bottom line is that years ago, by Grady's lack of immediate action, he implied consent and agreed with the book, or at least with Regardie's views that it didn't matter that it was published because it's just pearls before the swine.
		However, after Grady 'reactivated' the OTO and established the Grand Lodge in October of 1977 initiations on both coasts were beginning to bring in many new members.

		HYMENAEUS ALPHA 777 was born as Grady Louis McMurtry on October 18, 1918 EV in Big Cabin, Oklahoma to Grady and Bee Ivery Puckett McMurtry.
		Karl Germer died in 1962 and did indeed fail of an heir-- McMurtry therefore returned to California and used his emergency powers from 666 as Caliph and de facto head of the O.T.O., presiding over the rebirth of the O.T.O. In his last years he did battle once again--in a courtroom rather than a beachhead.
		But the final victory of Grady McMurtry is yet coming--it lies in the freedom of all to do and love as they will.

	O.T.O. under Crowley (2)
		Crowley's use of the term as applied to Germer and McMurtry was parallel for O.T.O. In 1946, Crowley entrusted McMurtry with documents of emergency authorization to take charge of the entire work of the Order in California, which included the only functional O.T.O. Body at the time.
		Germer was well informed of McMurtry's charters from Crowley, as he had attended the Agapé Lodge meeting at which McMurtry had presented them.
		On June 17, 1947, six months before his death, Crowley wrote to McMurtry and informed him that while Germer was to be Crowley's successor as Head of O.T.O., McMurtry should hold himself prepared to succeed Germer.

	O.T.O. News from The Oriflamme Vol. VI, No. 2
		Grady could not stand the fact that Karl Germer had made Marcelo Motta the follower and not him.
		Grady L. McMurtry is a fully paid-up member of the IX O.T.O. and owner of 25% of the copyright of "Aleister Explains Everything" (or "Magick Without Tears") with first priority on royalties.
		This document, also, was sent to Donald Weiser as evidence of McMurtry's "importance" in the O.T.O. However, two years later Crowley wrote his Last Will and Testament, revoking all previous bequests and literary grants (as one of my lawyers commented, he was not totally stupid), and McMurtry's name is conspicuously absent from it.

	Remembering Aleister Crowley - Kenneth Grant, Part 5
		Since Crowley's death, fellows like Grant and McMurtry have continually dropped the name of the Beast and capitalized upon their brief and for the most part superficial contact with him.
		This must have irked the old Beast as the choice of ones magical name is a very important and personal matter, and that choice should reflect an individual's understanding of himself and his purpose in life as well as he knows them at any given time in his magical career.
		Now 400 is the numeration of the Hebrew letter Tau, a letter Crowley used in his diaries to represent the "fundament", and the meaning of the word Tau, like stauros, is "cross", the Cross of Suffering being to Crowley the symbol of the natural adversaries of Thelema.

		It seems Regardie, after seeing McMurtry's full file and all AC's letters to him and the extent of their relationship, accepted McMurtry almost immediately as having the authority to re-establish the OTO in California.
		Most important for our concern, in these early years McMurtry publishes the Thoth Deck out of Lllewellyn which has McMurtry's address on a printed card, which in one letter to Regardie he states, "the Message of the Caliph card in every deck sold is a gold mine for us" as far as recruitment.
		Obviously McMurtry must have changed his view as Metzger was not invited to the electoral body of the IX°.

	History of the OTO
		Using these letters, a very little thing or nothing, McMurtry invented that his OTO was the authentic OTO successor of Crowley, although his argument rised of documents that do not named his successor and of a lodge of 1969, and he began a famous judicial dispute.
		The result was favourable to Grady McMurtry, although he died July, 12ve, 1985, the same day Agape Lodge of his OTO was legally recognized as an American organization with OTO copyright in USA.
		Responsible and members of OTO of McMurtry would be only 'aerials', conscious or unconscious, of North American intelligence service, CIA, widespread on the whole world, as well as activities of organization a way of infiltration in countries or hostile regimes, with the aim of information.

		In all fairness Grady did laugh again, continuing by saying, 'who knows, it was so long ago it might have happened' and that he just didn't remember it, but he rather doubted it.
		We know for a fact that the last time Grady McMurtry saw Aleister Crowley was in June of 1945, well over a year before the above incident occurred.
		Finally, and most important, Grady McMurtry was already back in the United States when the incident in question occurred, arriving in New York in November 1945 after his army discharge. He wasn't even in England in 1946 when the incident occurred.

		Several Christian churches consider O.T.O. to be Satanic (although the tenets of Thelema do not include Satan or his worship) despite a dearth of evidence to support the claim.
		There are even members of the O.T.O. as revived by McMurtry who refer to the organization as the "Caliphate", though this is discouraged.
