Dr Gabriel Montenegro Vargas was born on 8th January 1907 e.v. in Zapotlán, Mexico. During his youth and early adulthood he traveled back and forth from Mexico to the San Francisco Bay area, where he later trained in the healing arts and qualified to practice as a doctor of chiropractic.
During this time, he began to take an interest in mystical practices and fraternities. He studied with Toltic Indians, and he was also raised as a Freemason, being initiated to the 33rd Degree of the Scottish Rite in Mazatlan. He also was involved in the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), and was instrumental in its revival, although he died on 14th July before an organizational meeting could take place.
The funeral was overseen by the F. & A. M. Lodge # 434 in Daly City, and he was buried at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Colma. He was survived by his wife Marguerite (who died in 1999 e.v.) and a daughter, Sister Marie Angelica, now a Notre Dame nun.
Gabriel Montenegro's tombstone is inscribed "Gabriel Montenegro V. / A Thelemite / 1907 - 1969." Above the inscription, flanked by two crosses, is a stylized O.T.O. lamen, which contains inscriptions denoting his membership in the O.T.O., the A...A..., and the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
