Black magic, referenced as magic that causes harm to others is not the principal goal or aim of the M.O.ON. However, due to the nature of Reality and the power inherent within, our teachings may be used for good or evil, as all mystical or scientific teachings may be.

We use the numeric "99" when greeting and departing from our brothers and sisters online and off.  "99" is the Simple Gematric number of the phrase "I see you."  This short form is similar to Thelemites use of "93" but is not an attempt to associate or give the appearance of any formal affiliation or association with the A.A., O.T.O. or its associated bodies. The deeper meanings of "99" are revealed to Members as they ascend within the organization.
