There are three accepted versions of Liber XV published by Aleister Crowley, each having some differences but
are all accepted as official for performances by EGC. There are also Saints added posthumously based on notes.
There are, additionally, Saints that were included by Theodor Reuss.

Women
There are no women on this list. Two references that may be of interest may help to explain this fact.
“The names of women members are never divulged.”—Liber LII Manifesto of the O.T.O.
In a note about The Saints collect of Liber XV, Helena and Tau Apiryon offer a quote from Hymenaeus Beta,
current OHO of OTO:
In his address to the Women’s Conference in 1996 (see The Magical Link, Fall 1997 e.v.), the Patriarch
Hymenaeus Beta described the Gnostic Mass as a ‘celebration of the sexual polarities and their cosmic and
natural interplay’ from a male perspective, having been written by a man. With regard to the list of Saints, he
said, ‘It is a list of the small handful of men and man-gods who, in the opinion of the author of the Mass,
understood the divinity of woman. […] Someday, perhaps not soon, but who knows, a woman adept of the
Sovereign Sanctuary will manifest the genius to compose a Mass in which the female takes the more active
role, and the male the more passive (as with siva and sakti in Hinduism) — in which the Deacon, speaking for
the Priestess, can claim communion with the women in history that have perceived the divinity of man.'”
