Membership in Leaping Laughter Lodge is available to members in good standing of the U.S Grand Lodge of O.T.O. Our Grand Master Sabazius encourages every member of the Order to affiliate with a local body of O.T.O, such as Leaping Laughter Lodge, in order to support the crucial activities of our Order. We think you will find membership in Leaping Laughter Lodge rewarding and unique, and one of the best opportunites available perhaps in the world to fully participate in an active Lodge of Ordo Templi Orientis. All members of U. S. Grand Lodge O.T.O. who wish to learn more about the benefits of affiliation with our local body are invited to contact the Lodge. Membership in our Lodge requires the consent of the Master of the Lodge, signing the Rolls of the Lodge and committing to a financial commitment of $15 or more a month.

An easy way to pay your local membership dues is through Paypal, just type the amount of dues that you would like to automatically pay per month in the box below and click "Subscribe".

We like to encourage people to consider subscribing at a higher level then the minimum amount. A monthly donation of $30 or more will go along way toward allowing our current activity levels to work. Please be generous and consider your ability to pay when making a subscription, we need and appreciate your support.

Membership in Leaping Laughter Lodge entites you to certain privileges, including;

  1. Members of the Lodge are eligible to become Officers of the Lodge.  They also are eligible to be considered to take on significant roles in Leaping Laughter events.  This includes taking on the role of Priest, Priestess, Deacon, Initiation Officers, and organizational roles in rituals and other events.  Certain exceptions to this policy are made with the consent of the Master of the Lodge, for example for travelling Clergy and U. S. Grand Lodge Officers are encouraged to visit the Lodge and participate.
  2. Candidates for initiation into the Minerval or First degrees will always be charged only the standard fees as listed on the O.T.O. U. S. Grand Lodge website.  Beyond this, however, non Lodge members applying for initiation into Degrees above First who have not been a local member for at least six months are charged an additional fee equivalent to six months local dues, or $90.  This fee is discounted to our Lodge Membership, as well as to any Candidates travelling more than 100 miles.  In addition those with hardships, such as full time students, may apply to be discounted from this additional fee at the discretion of the Lodge Master.
  3. Except as noted above for travelling and Grand Lodge members, we ask a donation of $15 for O.T.O. members in good standing to attend Initiation events that their Degree permits. Local members are except from this request.  This donation is also waived for members of other O.T.O. bodies who pay dues to their home Lodge or Oasis.

 You can also make one-time donations whenever you like:

$10.00

$30.00

$60.00

$120.00



* Note that donations alone do not grant membership in the Lodge or in O.T.O. Full membership in the Lodge depends on your O.T.O. membership status and is at the discretion of the Lodge Master. You must be a Minerval in good standing to be an official Associate Member of the Lodge, or of the First Degree or higher to be considered a Full Member of the Lodge. Your O.T.O. membership status can be determined by contacting the Lodge or the Grand Treasurer General.
