The Order of Thelemic Knights

HOW WE GET THERE MATTERS

The Order of Thelemic Knights (OTK) is both a Gnostic and Thelemic organization founded in 1999 to serve the Thelemic community and the greater society. Known for the charitable deeds of its members, the Order of Thelemic Knights also serves individuals in the Gnostic Thelemic community through The Gnostic Thelemic Church of Alexandria.

Members of the Order of Thelemic Knights are invited to initiate into the system and participate in the mysteries of the Order through a careful screening process to identify their potential for making meaningful contributions to society. The Order of Thelemic Knights recognizes Eleven Virtues: Valor, Nobility, Discernment, Pride, Compassion, Fidelity, Passion, Strength, Discipline, Self Reliance, and Hospitality. Those virtues have an esoteric meaning known to its initiated members. Members are encouraged to develop these virtues and recognize them in others, regardless of race, creed, religion, gender, or sexuality.

The Eleven Virtues of Thelemic Knighthood

The Order’s ethical value system is reflected in eleven virtues.

Nobility: Poise and elegance in both word and deed.

Discernment: Piercing all glamour to see the Truth in one’s self and in others.

Pride: Having a true sense of one’s worth.

Compassion: The vice of Kings!

Fidelity: Loyalty to one’s self, one’s comrades and to one’s word.

Passion: To do all with love under will.

Strength: The body is the Temple of God.

Discipline: Perseverance, that the Work may be accomplished.

Self Reliance: Only a free man may walk our path.

Hospitality: To share what one has with others, especially those far from home.

Charity Work and Disaster Relief

The Order has been engaged in various charitable campaigns since its creation. Our first venture into disaster relief, however, began in 2005 with Hurricane Katrina. Members of the Order worked together with the Red Cross to provide security for refugees in the Portland, Oregon area. Since that time, our officers have spoken to community members about disaster preparedness and emergency relief work in the Northwest.
