    I cannot identify the provenance of a pdf I found at the following site:
    www.occultresource.com/thelema.shtml

    The Order of the GBG: Its Origins and Beginnings (in the pdf column)

    The GBG is the Gnostic Body of God, an order started by CF Russell in the US. The book claims to present order documents. However, I cannot locate it as a print book anywhere, nor identify any other information about the book, so I can't make any judgements about its authenticity. Not that I have any reason to doubt it. But I would like to the know the origins of the book and its relationship with the GBG.

    Anyone know anything about the book?

      Yes, that looks like Louis Culling's book, The Complete Magical Curriculum of the Secret Order G.'.B.'.G.'. - Great Brotherhood of God - very well-known and exceedingly popular during the 1970s.

        What you think about the book? Is it worth reading it?
