Dues

The members of Hyperion support the work of our Encampment through regular payment of dues. Dues pay for our temple rent and ritual/ceremonial materials, Mass supplies, equipment maintenance and upgrades, and our work of promulgating Thelema in West Michigan.  Membership at Hyperion is $10 per month.

Payments can be sent using Venmo (QR code below).  One may also use the Schedule feature in the app to make your payments recurring.

You may also give dues payments to the local master or secretary in person.

If you are financially unable to pay your local dues, but wish to maintain active membership, please contact the local master or secretary to discuss possible arrangements. 

USGL Dues

In addition to payment of local dues, it is also required for members of OTO to pay dues directly to the US Grand Lodge to remain in good standing. Initiation fees for Man of Earth degrees (Minerval through IV° and P.I.) include one year of USGL dues; if a member remains in a degree for longer than one year without taking another initiation, it is necessary to pay dues directly to USGL according to the degree they are presently in.

Annual dues for Man of Earth degrees are listed at http://oto-usa.org/oto/dues-fees/. Presently, USGL annual dues are $42 for Minerval and I°, $84 for II°, $126 for III°, and $168 for IV° and P.I. Members may inquire about their present USGL dues status and make payments at http://treasury.oto-usa.org/inquiry.html.

If a member is not dues current with US Grand Lodge, they may not participate in any members-only events, including initiations. If a member has become inactive with USGL and wishes to become current again, they must pay one year of back dues at their current degree, and one year of dues for either their current degree, or the degree to which they are being initiated, in which instance the current year’s dues would be part of the initiation fee. “Demitted” (inactive) Minervals may become current again only by taking I° initiation; no back dues are required of demitted Minervals.
