Initiation comes in many forms. Mutual initiation is the ideal, as no karma accrues thereby. Local groups are free to charge dues, set up grand temples, or what- ever else they feel may benefit their work. For me, embodiment of the essence of the OTO does not imply preaching, nor does it even necessarily connote mentioning the Chthonic-Auranian OTO by name. Yet, this commitment to embody the essence of the OTO does not neces- sitate becoming a slave to consistency.
Sovereigns are just that.
We are beholden to no person or governing body beyond our own personal interpretation of Will. The only way I know to remove a sovereign from office is to slay him or her . A Sovereign cannot be put on bad-report, expelled, removed from active duty, or any other euphemism for hierarchal censure, censorship, or muzzling. I abhore the practice of Coventry, in any form. The other side of that coin is also incontestable.
