Welcome to the website of Shemesh Lodge.

Shemesh Lodge is a chartered body of Ordo Templi Orientis, located in the town of Hastings on the south coast of England. We are a body of men and women united in the pursuit of the knowledge and accomplishment of the “True Will”, defined as the one perfect and unique path for each individual.

The letters O.T.O. stand for Ordo Templi Orientis, the Order of Oriental Templars, or Order of the Temple of the East. The structure of O.T.O., like that of Freemasonry and the ancient mystery schools, is based on a series of initiations or degrees. In these degrees the O.T.O. seeks to instruct the individual by allegory and symbol in the profound mysteries of existence, thereby assisting each to discover his or her own true nature.

Every man and woman of full age, free, and of good report, has an indefeasible right to the introductory degrees of the O.T.O. If you are interested in becoming a member of Ordo Templi Orientis, please contact us here for more information.

We hope you find our website of interest.
