Originally hailing from the wild mountains of Montana, where he began his 20-year study of the occult arts, he is now Master of Sekhet-Maat Lodge, Ordo Templi Orientis (http://www.sekhetmaat.com).

Joseph's writing and editing work has contributed to the development of O.T.O. in Portland and to the promulgation of the Law of Thelema worldwide. He is a principal contributor to [http://www.thelemapedia.org|Thelemapedia], as well as former editor of Agapé (http://www.oto-usa.org/agape.html) and of Lion & Serpent (http://www.sekhetmaat.com/journal).
