It has been evident for some time now that the different OTO lineages
interpret this degree in different ways -
some deny or reinterpret the homosexual component,
whilst others, such as the Motta Lineage, seem to celebrate it -
Are you able to say more about how your lineage interprets it as beyond
gender -
would that be as a form of androgyny??
For many of us, even those who are not temperamentally into
homosexuality - its inclusion
within a magical system of degrees was seen as a very liberated thing and a
corrective to much homophobia and bigotry - its what made Crowley and
Neuberg
'gay icons' and indeed it is a restating of an important and ancient
magical thread
that had been marginalized and forgotten by many so-called occult
experts. ??
