It is my conviction that Carl Kellner had as much to do with the O.T.O. as Rudolf Steiner or Franz Hartmann or the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light: Nothing. Of course, they knew Theodor Reuss personally and they shared a mutual interest in Yoga practises, but to render this common interest as the base for putting either Steiner or Kellner as ancestors into the O.T.O. gallery is historically unproven. It was only after Kellner's death in 1905 that Reuss started to develop a cell that was later called O.T.O. - Maybe this cell consisted of yoga practitioners of Kellner's private circle, maybe this cell was built by members of the many para-masonic organisations to which both Kellner and Reuss belonged: but all this is NOT evidence of Kellner being either the founder of the O.T.O. or the man who inspired it. It was 7 years after Kellner's death when Theodor Reuss published that Kellner was the co-founder of the O.T.O.
