Skull and Bones: According to the File and Claw breakin crew, "Bones is a chapter of corps of a German university. It should properly be called the Skull and Bones chapter. General Russell, its founder, was in Germany before his senior year and formed a warm friendship with a leading member of a German society. The meaning of the permanent number 322 in all Bones literature is that it was founded in '32 as the second chapter of the German society.

Brother Kwesi (Shades of Afrika)

Initiation rites are held on Russell Trust owned, Deer Island, believed to be somewhere off the coast of New York. The rituals have been said to be strenuous and traumatic. The so-called highlight of the initiation is having the initiation immersed NAKED in mud and inside a coffin. This ritual is know to be almost identical to the rituals Masons perform. The naked initiate is then confronted with a physical confrontation which ends up with the initiate being a voluntary 'victim' (for lack of a better word) of anal sex. This dates back to the Greeks where older men sexed the younger initiates implying they were 'injecting' manhood into them(?!). This ritual is know the Masons as "riding the hump".

Oto / Carl Kellner / Aleister Crowley:

http://oto-usa.org/history.html
The Spiritual Father of Ordo Templi Orientis was Carl Kellner (Renatus, Sept. 1, 1851 - June 7, 1905), a wealthy Austrian paper chemist. Kellner was a student of Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism and Eastern mysticism, and traveled extensively in Europe, America and Asia Minor. During his travels, he claims to have come into contact with three Adepts (a Sufi, Soliman ben Aifa, and two Hindu Tantrics, Bhima Sena Pratapa of Lahore and Sri Mahatma Agamya Paramahamsa), and an organization called the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light.

Also in 1912, Crowley published the Manifesto of the Mysteria Mystica Maxima in which Mysteria Mystica Maxima was identified as the British Section of the O.T.O., which "includes all countries where English is generally spoken." O.T.O. was described in this document as ...a body of initiates in whose hands are concentrated the wisdom and knowledge of the following bodies: 1. The Gnostic Catholic Church. 2. The Order of the Knights of the Holy Ghost. 3. The Order of the Illuminati. 4. The Order of the Temple. 5. The Order of the Knights of St. John. 6. The Order of the Knights of Malta. 7. The Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. 8. The Hidden Church of the Holy Grail. 9. The Rosicrucian Order. 10. The Holy Order of Rose Croix of Heredom. 11. The Order of the Holy Royal Arch of Enoch. 12. The Antient and Primitive Rite of Masonry (33 degrees). 13. The Rite of Memphis (97 degrees). 14. The Rite of Mizraim (90 degrees). 15. The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry (33 degrees). 16. The Swedenborgian Rite of Masonry. 17. The Order of the Martinists. 18. The Order of the Sat Bhai. 19. The Hermetic Brotherhood of Light. 20. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and many other orders of equal merit, if of less fame. It does not include the Mysteria Mystica Maxima with which august Body it is, however, in close alliance.

Greek Culture: Pederasty in ancient Greece was a socially acknowledged relationship between an
adult and a younger male usually in his teens.

___________ Homoeroticism in the Biblical World: A Historical Perspective by Martti Nissinen Page 57

It is common knowledge that a particular form of homoerotic relations between men was a custom maintained for centuries in ancient Greece. Conventionally these relations have been known as pederasty (Greek, paiderastia, love for boys), because their basic form was erotic social interaction between adult men and boys. For centuries it was accepted behavior in Greek culture, with some variations depending on the time and the place. Pederasty flourished during the classical age before and after Plato (428-347 B.C..E), but it can be traced already to an earlier time, and it was still practiced at the beginning of the Common Era. ________________

Thomas Hubbard, "Pindar's Tenth Olympian and Athlete-Trainer Pederasty," in SameSex Desire and Love in Greco-Roman Antiquity, pp. 143 and 163 (note 37), with cautions about the term "homosocial" from Percy, p. 49, note 5. Paiderastia seems to have developed in the late 7th century BC as an aspect of Greek homosocial culture which was characterized also by athletic and artistic nudity, delayed marriage for aristocrats, symposia, and the social seclusion of women. _________________

See also George Boys-Stones, "Eros in Government: Zeno and the Virtuous City," Classical Quarterly 48 (1998), 168174: "there is a certain kind of sexual relationship which was considered by many Greeks to be very important for the cohesion of the city: sexual relations between men and youths. Such relationships were taken to play such an important role in fostering cohesion where it mattered among the male population that Lycurgus even gave them official recognition in his constitution for Sparta" (p. 169).

The influence of pederasty was so pervasive that it has been called "the principal cultural model for free relationships between citizens. _____________________ Henry George Liddell and Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1940 9th ed., with 1968 supplement in 1985 reprinting), p. 1286.

Paiderastia is defined by Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon as "the love of boys," and the verb paiderasteuein as "to be a lover of boys."

(1986) 99110, with a survey of the relevant scholarship including that of Arthur Evans (p. 100) and others such as H. Jeanmaire and R.F. Willetts (pp. 104105); Deborah Kamen, "The Life Cycle in Archaic Greece," in The Cambridge Companion to Archaic Greece (Cambridge University Press, 2007), pp. 9192. Kenneth Dover, a pioneer in the study of Greek homosexuality, rejects the initiation theory of origin; see "Greek Homosexuality and Initiation," in Que(e)rying Religion: A Critical Anthology (Continuum, 1997), pp. 1938.

For Dover, it seems, the argument that Greek paiderastia as a social custom was related to rites of passage constitutes a denial of homosexuality as natural or innate; this may be to overstate or misrepresent what the initiatory theorists have said. The initiatory theory does not claim to account for the existence of homosexuality, but for formal paiderastia.
