Crowley and Evola: Comparisons and Parallels Thelemic Philosophy Thelemic Magick Thelemic Way of Life Thelemic Yoga December 22, 2021December 22, 20218 by Vincent St. Clare I enjoy “rambling” on comparisons and parallels between various thinkers; in particular I like to compare Aleister Crowley to his contemporaries, and compare their respective ideas—though I’ve never put these comparisons (and correlations) into text before now. In this essay I intend to do just those things,
3 Definitions of True Will in Thelema Thelemic Philosophy Thelemic Magick Thelemic Way of Life December 19, 2021December 19, 202114 by IAO131 Although there are many disagreements, virtually all Thelemites recognize the centrality of True Will to the system of Thelema. Doing your Will is the "whole of the Law", there is "no law beyond" it, and you have "no right but to do" it. What is "it"? What exactly is
Waiting for the New Aeon is Like Waiting for the Next Coming of Christ Thelemic Philosophy Thelemic Way of Life December 10, 2021December 10, 202114 by Whiskey Stevens I have been a practicing Thelemite for 11 months now as February was the month I first met my mentor and began taking an academic track. Each time I have begun to waiver on my journey I receive dreams, sometimes they are reoccurring with the same dream happening
A Woman of Color in Thelema Thelemic Magick Thelemic Philosophy Thelemic Way of Life November 24, 2021November 24, 202124 by Kelly N. AKA Keanu Tease Not guilty. I’m not shocked. I’m upset. I’m crying. But I’m not shocked. This trial was a joke from start to finish. Murder is legal in the United States apparently, but only if you have the correct skin tone.

AL and LA: Thelema and the Death of God Thelemic Philosophy Thelemic Way of Life November 3, 2021November 3, 20214 By Nic Laccetti Why was the Book of the Law renamed Liber AL vel Legis from Liber L vel Legis? More importantly, what is the meaning for us today of the interplay between AL and LA, “God” and “nothing,” as the key to the Thelemic holy book? It’s my contention that
What is Consensus Thelema? Thelemic Philosophy Ordo Templi Orientis Thelemic Magick Thelemic Way of Life October 16, 2021October 27, 202119 by Entelecheia Consensus Thelema is hard to define. It is nebulous by nature. But it also tends to disguise itself as its opposite: lack of consensus, radical individualism, creative self-expression, iconoclasm, and an uncompromising advocacy of non-conformity. It’s like a force field that permeates the Thelemic community. It’s conspicuous when you
If Aleister Crowley wants to be Priestess, he should write his own ritual Ordo Templi Orientis Thelemic Magick Thelemic Philosophy Thelemic Way of Life September 5, 2021October 10, 202114 by Soror Puella Dux This article is referring to OTO's decision to limit the Gnostic Mass roles to certain genders (Priest must be male, Priestess must be female), a gender essentialist position which also relegates non-binary individuals to the Deacon Sacerdote position. And yes, this article is satire. Thelema is all about
The Multiplicity of Thelemas Thelemic Philosophy Thelemic Magick Thelemic Way of Life September 1, 2021October 10, 202110 by Vincent St. Clare I’ve been accused a few times of trying to turn Thelema into something it’s not, of attempting to somehow create for myself a type of Thelema that fits my own version of how this philosophy and spiritual path should operate.

Aleister Crowley Cancelled? The Farce of “Post-Thelema” Thelemic Magick Thelemic Philosophy Thelemic Way of Life February 7, 2021October 10, 202118 by Brother Sol-Om-On A "Post-Thelema Manifesto" has been making the rounds lately in Thelemic social media circles. Some seem to be treating this as some kind of significant document, saying something new and exciting. I should state, first of all, that I welcome any new texts, articles, or "Manifestos" out of
Capitalism, Magick and the Law of Thelema Thelemic Philosophy Thelemic Way of Life January 24, 2021March 15, 202214 by Anonymous Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The Law of Thelema and Thelemic values stand diametrically opposed to Capitalism. Therefore, it also stands against all forces and tributaries that nourish and support Capitalism, whose deliberate fabrication, orchestration and execution saw to its inception and see to
