<<
The hidden 'sex' has been pointed out in:

but, reading the next downwards word, we find 'oto', or perhaps "O.T.O"
which was Aleister Crowley's temple cult thing, along with the golden
dawn. It stands for Ordero Templo Orentialis or something similar. It used
secrets 'stolen' from the masons.
Any kute korrespondences with the two n's?

To tie this string with the punctuation debate I would like to point people
to a lively philosophical essay by Crowley called "The Hunchback ( ? ) and
the Soldier ( ! )" which I believe is in some issue of The Equinox. They are
also the first characters in The Book of Lies. Crowley also makes much use of
the Tibetan "terma", the three dots arranged like a triangle. Plus, all this
excessive exegesis reminds me of the ol' Master Therion himself and his
quacky quabballism (oh boy another string!)
