'''[[Ordo Templi Orientis]]''' is an [[occult]] initiatory organization founded at the beginning of the 20th century. The origins of the O.T.O. can be traced back to the German-speaking [[occultist]]s Carl Kellner, Heinrich Klein, Franz Hartmann, and Theodor Reuss. Later, the O.T.O. was significantly shaped by the English author and occultist [[Aleister Crowley]].
'''[[Quimbanda]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion|Afro-Brazilian religion]] practiced primarily in the urban city centers of Brazil. The religion borrowed many aspects of other traditions, especially [[Umbanda]] and [[Candomblé]]. Quimbanda's practices are often focused on worldly success regarding money and sex. The religion shares much of the philosophy of [[LaVeyan Satanism]], although it is more focused on the invocation of spirits.


After Crowley's death in 1947, four main branches of the O.T.O. have claimed exclusive descent from the original organization and primacy over the other ones. The most important and visible of these is the Caliphate O.T.O., incorporated by Crowley's student Grady McMurtry in 1979. Originally it was intended to be modeled after and associated with European Freemasonry, such as Masonic Templar organizations, but under the leadership of Aleister Crowley, O.T.O. was reorganized around Crowley's [[Thelema]] as its central religious principle.
