Hide Profile

Theodor Reuss was an Anglo-German singer, impresario, journalist, and author, whose life is inextricably tied up with his occult activities. Born in Germany, he met Wagner and participated in the first performance of Parsifal; he also performed in England and became a journalist there. His interest in the occult and in secret societies led him to try and revive the Bavarian Illuminati, to join Masonic orders, and to co-found the Ordo Templi Orientis. He wrote or translated several mystical works, and remained active in the O.T.O. until his death.
