This is a feature length documentary on the rites, ceremonies and meditative practices of America's oldest continually operating Magical tradition: The Order of the Temple of Astarte in Southern California. The O.T.A. is the religious-fraternal order of The Church of the Hermetic Sciences, incorporated in 1971. This production was filmed and video-recorded in temples, outdoor henges, and retreats. It is divided into six chapters: Hermetic Yoga, Pathworkings, Seasonal Ceremonies, The Magical Eucharist, Enochian Watchtowers, and includes a surrealist Alchemical Fantasy from Eric Bossick.
