Manifest Thy Glory presents a selection of papers from the 2011 biennial National Ordo Templi Orientis Conference (NOTOCON) held in Detroit, Michigan. The topics explored include the Holy Guardian Angel, talismans in magick, spatial orientation in ritual, and various magical methods. It also delves into occult history and biography, featuring discussions on the Stele of Revealing and Ida Craddock, as well as the dissemination of Thelema through publishing and podcasts. Additionally, the collection includes textual analyses ranging from Catullus to Liber Trigrammaton, a heartfelt reminiscence by Lon Milo DuQuette, and even considerations of space as a frontier. Highlights comprise a street guide to Thelemic historical sites in Detroit and an address by U.S. National Grand Master Sabazius. These papers exemplify some of the finest modern practical and scholarly work on Ordo Templi Orientis, Thelema, and Aleister Crowley's magick. The inaugural NOTOCON took place in 1997 in Akron, Ohio, and has since been hosted biennially in various U.S. cities. This volume is the third collection of papers from the national conference, following the 2007 release Beauty & Strength. Ordo Templi Orientis is a global fraternal order dedicated to individual liberty, the study of magick, and the promotion of the Law of Thelema, shaped by figures such as Carl Kellner, Theodor Reuss, Aleister Crowley, Karl Germer, and Grady Louis McMurtry.
