Order of Thelemic Knights
The Order of Thelemic Knightsis an independent Thelemic order of chivalry, based in the United States, which accepts members of all sexes. It considers itself the first Chivalric Order to embrace the religious and philosophical view of Thelema, and its members engage in a variety of activities. The organization is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and although it was technically founded earlier under a different name, was finally incorporated  under the current name on August 23, 1999. The Order considers itself to have a military structure, a Thelemic theology, and a gnostic view of spirituality. The primary focus of the Order is to cater to the spiritual needs of Thelemites by administering various sacraments, and is in affiliation with the North American College of Gnostic Bishops: it is from a similar body that the Order received its fons honorum. The Order also engages in charitable work, including the Red Cross and Locks of Love. Membership is by invitation only and members pay dues.
