Current Work
Rodney Orpheus was appointed Deputy National Grand Master General for UK Grand Lodge of O.T.O.. at the Spring equinox 2009, and appeared on the O.T.O. podcast Thelema NOW! in September of that year; where he would make a second appearance in the August 2011 edition.
He appeared with Nick Margerrison on Kerrang Radio representing O.T.O. in May 2009:
We're chatting to a bloke, Rodney Orpheus, who is part of the religion which Crowley left behind after he died, it's called O.T.O. I'm asking him what would happen if we were to play out Crowley's magical spell ritual designed to call out demons. He tells me probably nothing, "if demons were to come out of the radio I'd be very surprised, if they're going to come out of anywhere, they'll come out of people's heads". Awesome. Great bit of radio. Hit play on the song. Two minutes in the station has a major technical glitch. The consoles in all three studios stop working. The mic won't turn on and then won't turn off. We play three songs in a row as we try to sort it out. Chaos as broadcast assistants and producers run about like headless chickens trying to sort it out. Technical response team on the phone. Finally we're back on air. Not the most impressive bit of radio ever. An example of Crowley's curse?
His most recent book on magick, Grimoire of Aleister Crowley, was published by Abrahadabra Press in August 2011. It has been described as "a truly exceptional modern grimoire" by magical scholar and editor Colin Campbell.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or work:
“For the purpose of knowledge, one must know how to use that inner current that draws us to a thing, and then the one that, after a time, draws us away from it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The moralist and the revolutionary are constantly undermining one another. Marx exploded a hundred tons of dynamite beneath the moralist position, and we are still living in the echo of that tremendous crash. But already, somewhere or other, the sappers are at work and fresh dynamite is being tamped in place to blow Marx at the moon. Then Marx, or somebody like him, will come back with yet more dynamite, and so the process continues, to an end we cannot foresee.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
