Greetings! Crowley formulated his version of the OTO to express (and indulge?) his sexuality with degrees exploring masturbation, heterosexual sex and homosexual sex. Garner formulated Wicca to do likewise. Nudity, a bit of bondage, flagellation and heterosexual sex Grant in his version of the O.T.O., not being a fan of male gay sex, changed the 11th degree from homosexual to heterosexual sex when the woman is menstruating. Big similarity is using sexual desire as vehicle for religious and magical endeavour. The vehicles are different. Crowley drew upon the glamours of occult masonry and tantra, Gardner those of a clandestine folk religion.
