Fire of Motion offers a selection of papers from the tenth biennial National Ordo Templi Orientis Conference (NOTOCON) of the United States Grand Lodge of O.T.O., held in the Valley of Austin, Texas, in 2015 EV. The papers in this volume cover a wide range of esoteric traditions including: practical matters such as developing a life-long magical practice, the magick of food and feasts, working with the goddess Hekate, and exercises to better understand and cope with death; mundane matters like what to do and how to prepare when approached by the media; historical papers on Rosicrucian orders, the notion of Secret Chiefs, and Deputy Grand Master Lon Milo DuQuette's reflections on his forty years in the Order; and, of course, Saturday evening's keynote address by the United States National Grand Master Sabazius. Together these papers represent some of best modern practical and scholarly work available on Ordo Templi Orientis, Thelema, and the magick of Aleister Crowley.The first NOTOCON conference took place in 1997 EV in Akron, Ohio, and has since been held on alternate years in different cities around the United States. Fire of Motion is the fifth collection of papers from the national conference to be made available, following the inaugural volume Beauty & Strength for the 2007 EV conference.Ordo Templi Orientis is an international fraternal order of men and women devoted to the pursuit of individual liberty, the study of magick, and the promulgation of the Law of Thelema. Founded in the early twentieth century, it has been shaped by such leading lights as Carl Kellner, Theodor Reuss, Aleister Crowley, Karl Germer and Grady Louis McMurtry.… (altro)

This most recent of the U.S. Grand Lodge National O.T.O. Conference proceedings volumes contains some worthwhile and timely offerings. As usual, the book includes an apparatus that documents the biennial event at which the included papers were originally delivered. The program of events shows that fewer than half of the presentations were ultimately published in the book, and my understanding is that the authors did not submit them for inclusion, rather than that they were in any way disqualified. (At least one was restricted to initiated members, and thus not for publication.)

The papers "The Torchbearer in the Underworld," "The 20th-Century Rosicrucian Conflict," and "Aleister Crowley on Death" are all valuable contributions to Thelemic scholarship, as I hope my own "Secret Chiefs and the Interior Church" to be. The wine tasting event "Whores, Amazons, Witches, and the Grand Dames of Wine" appears to have been themed with a nod to Scarlet Woman Lodge in Austin, local to the conference site, and its documentation is an interesting glimpse of the weekend's doings.

The most important part of this book, though, is the Grand Master's address, which is concerned with the relationship of Thelema and O.T.O. to exoteric politics. It points out that "racism and classism are both rooted in fear," and that "Opposing racial and sexual prejudice is a Thelemic value" (68-69). Two years after this address, we now see some anecdotal cases of attempts to identify Thelema with "alt-right" bigotries, and it is satisfying to have in print this authoritative statement to the contrary. It is also available online.
