ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS

RESEARCH

SUBMISSIONS

Ora Et Labora began as a simple idea, the best and liveliest essays on the mysteries, histories, and practices of OTO, and was initiated by a private call out to potential contributors from the Supreme and Holy King of Australia, Shiva X°. The response to the first three volumes has been phenomenal and we are currently accepting contributions for Volume 4.

The guidelines for submission are:

  • The work will significantly contribute to the OTO universe of discourse and/or Thelemic studies
  • Optimum length is between 1000-3000 words, with special consideration given to longer or shorter works based on the above criteria.
  • The final document should be delivered in a rich text format, with footnotes & bibliography as required. You can grab the preferred example document from our site, and it contains some additional technical information regarding images and layout.

Please send your submission to submissions@otoaustralia.org.au

Submissions will be reviewed by the Ora Et Labora Editorial Board.

All successful contributions will be notified.
