THE EQUINOX 15. The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry (33 degrees). 16. The Swedenborgian Rite of Masonry. 17. The Order of the Martinists. 18. The Order of the Sat Bhai, and many other orders of equal merit, if of less fame. It does not include the A..A.., with which august body it is, however, in close alliance. It does not in any way infringe the just privileges of duly authorized Masonic Bodies. 2. The dispersion of the original secret wisdom having led to confusion, it was determined by the Chiefs of all these Orders to recombine and centralize their activities, even as white light, divided in a prism, may be recomposed. It embodies the whole of the secret knowledge of all Orien- tal Orders; and its chiefs are initiates of the highest rank, and recognized as such by all capable of such recognition in every country in the world. In more remote times, the constituent originating assem- blies of the O.T.O. included such men as: Fohi Hippolytus Laotze Merlin Siddartha Arthur Krishna Titurel Tahuti Amfortas Ankh-f-n-khonsu Percivale Herakles Mosheh Orpheus Odysseus 198
