Biography


Born in Long Beach, California and raised in Columbus, Nebraska, he was an aspiring studio musician and recording artist in the 1970s, releasing two singles and an album, Charley D. and Milo, on the Epic Records label.[2] He and his partner Charles Dennis Harris (now Charley Packard), opened for Hoyt Axton, Arlo Guthrie and performed with Sammy Davis Jr.[3] In 1972, he quit the music business and for the next 25 years he pursued his interest in mysticism, particularly the work of Aleister Crowley (1875–1947). DuQuette began writing professionally in 1988 and has since published 16 books (translated in 12 languages).[4]


A 2005 gift of a ukulele re-ignited his interest in music. Two self-released CD's and a new record contract followed. In 2012, DuQuette released I'm Baba Lon on Ninety Three Records, his first studio album in 40 years.[5] On September 3, 2012, Ninety Three released the follow-up, Baba Lon II.[6]


He is married to his high school sweetheart, Constance Jean Duquette. They live in Costa Mesa, California and have one son.[7]



Writings


DuQuette has written a number of successful books on topics in the Western mystical tradition including: Freemasonry, Tarot, Qabalah, ceremonial magick, the Enochian magick of Dr. John Dee, and Goetic spirit evocation. He is perhaps best known as "an author who injects humor into the serious subjects of magick and the occult." [8] His autobiography, My Life with the Spirits, is currently a required text for two classes at DePaul University, Chicago.[9]


Many of DuQuette's books have been dedicated to analyzing and exploring the works of Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), an English occultist, author, poet and philosopher.


DuQuette occasionally appears on radio and television as a guest expert on subjects involving the occult.


He is on the faculty of the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies[10] in Rhinebeck, New York where he teaches The Western Magical Tradition.



Ordo Templi Orientis


Since 1975 DuQuette has been a National and International governing officer of Ordo Templi Orientis, a religious and fraternal organization founded in the early part of the 20th century. Since 1996 he has been O.T.O.'s United States Deputy Grand Master.[11] He is also an Archbishop of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, the ecclesiastical arm of O.T.O [12] and the longest living member of the O.T.O after the death of Phyllis Seckler.

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
