A preoccupation with sex, either as a facet of revelation or as a secret source of power, is encountered again and again in this sort of prophet. The orthodox Anthroposophical Society is free of it, but the Ordo Templi Orientis taught not merely a sexual mystique but definite sexual practices designed to induce unusual states of consciousness. Steiner was almost certainly connected with this Order, and very possibly head of it, in the early years of the century. It was later headed by Theodor Reuss, and later still by Aleister Crowley. A Rosicrucian organization, it was affiliated in the late 19th Century with the American Rosicrucian Order of which P. B. Randolph was the head. Randolph's writings are today sought after by those interested in the "magical power and experiences" type of Rosicrucianism.
