Builders of the Adytum
The Builders of the Adytum (B.O.T.A) is a school of the Western mystery tradition based in Los Angeles which is registered as a non-profit tax-exempt religious organization. It was founded by Paul Foster Case and has its roots in both the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn〔Barrett, David V. ("Builders of the Adytum" ) in Clarke, Peter Bernard (ed.). ''Encyclopedia of New Religious Movements''. Psychology Press, 2006. ISBN 0-415-26707-2〕 and the Masonic blue lodge system.〔Hulse: Western Mysteries;p.148〕 It was later extended by Ann Davies.〔
The B.O.T.A. teaches by correspondence, covering esoteric psychology, occult tarot, Hermetic Qabalah, astrology, and meditation techniques. It also holds a variety of ritual services and study groups, some open to the public.〔(l Official BOTA website )〕
Worldwide membership is around 5,000.〔
==Origins of the name==
“Adytum” is Latin for “Inner Shrine” or “Holy of Holies” and “Builders” refer to the emulation of the Carpenter from Nazareth, Jesus, who some members of the B.O.T.A.〔B.O.T.A. (What is B.O.T.A.? )〕 believe was adept in the mysteries of building a living temple without hands ().
