+
The '''Hymn of One''' (Ho0), originally believed to be [[Thelema|Thelemic]] in nature, is now known to be the [[Losing My Religion|religious front]] for a mysterious organization called [[The Order]].  Many argue that the HoO is not truly a religion, but [[It's A Cult|a cult]].  They note the HoO's brainwashing techniques, such as having members recite "[[It's A Cult|The Hymn of One is fun]]" repeatedly, as highly characteristic of cultish behavior.  They also [[Lying Bastards|allegedly advocate]] [[free will]], but, like most cults, do not truly believe in it.  This is evidenced in the way they pursued [[Bree]] and tried to [[Miss Me?|manipulate her]] into doing [[the Ceremony (ritual)|the Ceremony]], even after she had [[I Listened To Daniel|decided against it]].
+
 
+
The religion uses a variety of recruitment methods, such as [[Sing With Me|promotional videos]], [[Spreading the Song|fliers]], and [[It's A Cult|seminars]].  They promote the idea that one can find eternal happiness by [[Sing Until The End|singing one's eternal song]].  They also revere [[Aleister Crowley]] as an important figure in their system of beliefs, and quote him on their official website (http://www.hymnofone.org).
+
 
+
Most members of the Hymn of One are very naïve, and don't know anything about the Order whatsoever.  Many members live in controlled [[commune|communities]], made up entirely of Hymn of One members.  They are told that their duty is to protect [[trait positive]] girls from [[Spreading the Song|the time they are born until the time they complete the Ceremony]], but have no knowledge of what the Ceremony actually is.

+
==Role of Women==
+
Bree [[Losing My Religion|says]] that her [[Bree's parents#Mother|mother]] was introduced to The Hymn of One by a university professor when she was studying at [[Scotland|Edinburgh]].  She mentions that her mother had been "looking for answers", and believed that she found them with the Hymn of One.  Bree's father, however, noted some changes in his wife after she joined.  He said that while she used to be introverted, after joining she was the "first to pick an argument."  ([[Losing My Religion]] (Apr. 3, 2007)). 
+
 
+
From this, we can deduce that the Hymn of One strongly values their [[Feminist themes|female members]] and encourages them to stand up for themselves, and more importantly, their religious beliefs.
+
 
+
==Service==
+
Several Hymn of One members believe in doing service around the world.  A fine example of this would be the [[Lullaby Project]], comprised of several volunteers who beleive to be helping low-income mothers-to-be during their pregnancies.
+
 
+
==Publicated Works==
+
To date, only one book based on the beliefs of the Hymn of One have ever been placed in the spotlight.  The book, ''[[Finding the One]]'', by [[Rupert Van Helden]] is apparently a popular text to give to new members of the Hymn of One, as witnessed by [[Steve]] giving a copy to [[Kate]] for [[War is Over|Christmas]] and [[Carl]] giving a copy to [[Sarah]] during her [[Party Crashers|initiation]].
+
 
+
==Hymn of One logo==
+
The Hymn of One's logo is an upside-down musical symbol known as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermata fermata]. A fermata is used either over or, in the case of the upside-down fermata, under a note. It signifies that a note will be held out for longer than its true value. The actual value of a note with which a fermata is used is up to the conductor of the performer. However, the idea of using the symbol is that the note is held indefinitely. This alludes to the Hymn of One's mantra of "finding your eternal song".
