Solar Lodge was a magical organization in California that was established in 1965, and withdrew from initiatory activity in 1972.
[2] The lodge presented itself as a body of Ordo Templi Orientis, but predated the revival of O.T.O.
By 1969, the Lodge ran a bookstore in Blythe, California; it operated Solar Ranch near Vidal, California; and it owned a gas station in Vidal with a cafe, motel, bar, house, gas station and grocery store.
[5] Brayton, her husband, and other officers of the lodge engaged in "interstate flight to avoid prosecution",[6] traveled to Mexico and Canada, and eventually engaged in a publicity campaign that alleged a conspiracy against them by law enforcement officers and the courts.
When Brayton and her husband were arrested, she pleaded no contest and was sentenced to three years of probation along with a $500 fine.
