OCCULT
Full curriculum for those who pursue an Occult path, including initiation, self initiation, solitary and groups. Topics include all subjects of interest to the Occultist.

OTO, THELEMIC
At core, the Occult is dependent on personal efforts exerted to find and implement the True Will. As with other belief systems  and approaches to philosophy, the materials in this series of courses can supplement your other study material. The knowledge3 recorded by Aleister Crowley is a cornerstone of any post-Golden Dawn practice of magick. We recommend the Qabalah, Ritual and Meditation courses for your use.

OGDOADIC, AURUM SOLIS
The Neo-Platonic movement and the Aurum Solis updating of it is of great value in today’s magical world. Through it, many students are discovering alternatives to the Hebrew Qabalah borrowings of other Orders. These books and courses strive to integrate Neo-Platonic, Ogdoadic material into the overall study program. We recommend the Magical and Mystical Programs for your consideration.

GOLDEN DAWN AND RELATED GROUPS
Modern occult practice is heavily influenced by the teachings of the Golden Dawn. This is fully recognized in the courses, in which appropriate reference is always made to the books and heritage left by the Golden Dawn. We recommend particularly the Magical and Mystical Programs.

CHRISTIAN, CATHOLIC, PROTESTANT AND ISLAM
All course material and all books are designed to show no preference for one religious view over another. Mainstream religion is treated fairly. More important, the materials present a way to find out what the Pagan and Occult studies are all about, without requirement to do anything beyond reading with an open mind. Some courses in Mystical studies will enhance personal spiritual practice through exploration of the practices of other religions. Other courses can aid those who travel deep into the mystic realms without a formal church or monastery to support their spiritual path. For these, we have information and approaches that have been tried by others over the centuries. We especially suggest the Ministerial and Mystical Programs.

BUDDHIST, HINDU, AND OTHER EASTERN SPIRITUALITIES
We offer knowledge of what can be done with the psychic energies that are developed through inner growth and development of full human potential. Rather than dismissing these as a distraction, we use such abilities to aid us on our Path. The subjects covered integrate much that is from Far Eastern Philosophies, just as it brings to light many practices from around the world.  We especially suggest the Meditation courses and Mystical Program.

PAGAN
With a full range of subjects, we cover all the important magic using cultures and their magical skills. As a result, Pagans can explore specific philosophies, to whatever depth is of interest. In addition, specific magical skills are discussed from various culture groups, and modern adaptations or uses are explored. The course material focuses on the why and how, more than on the what. As a result, many questions about the why of magick are explored and explained.  We especially suggest the Magical Program.

ASATRU, ODINIST, RUNE BASED
Runes are an important part of the Magical Arts. As a result, you will find Runes and their associated magicks explored in depth. There is no one course that is devoted to the Runic system: rather, the entire philosophical structure of the Northern Forest Peoples is explored. In addition, other Magical Program courses will be of general use to the follower of the Northern traditions.

WICCAN
With a full Ministerial study program, subjects of interest to the Wiccan community can enhance the coven or temple teachings. With courses in many leadership and sacramental areas, as well as training guidance for non-trainers, the courses will supplement other training provided to coven members.

OCCULT, MASONIC, AND OTHER TEMPLE BASED GROUPS
Members of any magical Order will find our courses useful: they organize the entire of Hermetic, Occult, Magical knowledge into an orderly set of courses. Study is paired with practice. Our primary methods include ritual, ceremony, and meditation, along with alchemy, astrology, divination, life passage rituals, prayer, We work for better understanding of the inner worlds through study of the various occult sciences.

AGNOSTICS, ATHIESTS, HUMANIST
OCL material is oriented to a non-judgmental approach to all matters of spirituality. There is no need to filter out religion, it is already done. What remains are the skills and knowledge which, while rooted in various systems, are presented to offer new insights or skills that can be adapted to more universal purpose. This is surprisingly difficult to do: we are thoroughly based in the culture of our upbringing and surrounding culture. The quest is still important, because there is much of great value that can be learned through this type of comparative study.

SCHOLARS, STUDENTS IN MANY FIELDS
ANTHROPOLOGY, MYTHOLOGY, FOLK LORE, SOCIOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY, PSYCHOLOGY, AND OTHERS
The Occult includes people who are alive today, following traditions that span the entire history of the human race. We are living examples of those who work with a knowledge of the Other When, Other Where, and Other How. We can help you understand how magic is integrated with a scientific mindset, how myth can live side by side with technology, and combine rational with constructive non-rational methods. We have gone native: we believe what we do, and we do Magick. We recommend the courses in Traditions, Rituals, Initiation, and Divination.

LAW ENFORCEMENT, AUTHORITIES, THE ESTABLISHMENT
The OCL is committed to support of valid magical practice. If the skill is practiced, we are interested. Therefore, we are an excellent source of information on what is mainstream Occult and Magic, and what is aberrant according to our own standards of behavior.  We are a different type of spiritual community, and the OCL is happy to share expertise with any official who seeks information about our beliefs and practices. We especially suggest the Traditions, Ritual, and Meditation courses. we also invite your enquiries.
