What is Thelema?
A social or spiritual philosophy derived from Western esotericism. While it is often regarded as a religion – a new spiritual religious movement in particular- it is also referred to as a philosophy, “religious philosophy”, “spiritual philosophy” or “religious matrix”.
What is Western esotericism?
Western esotericism is a term under which scholars have categorised a wide range of loosely related ideas and movements which have developed within Western society.
One scholarly model adopts its definition of “esotericism” from certain esotericist schools of thought themselves, treating “esotericism” as a perennialist hidden, inner tradition. A second perspective sees esotericism as a category that encompasses world-views which seek to embrace an “enchanted” world-view in the face of increasing de-enchantment. A third views Western esotericism as a category encompassing all of Western culture’s “rejected knowledge” that is accepted neither by the scientific establishment nor by orthodox religious authorities.
What does it mean under Thelema that “Every man and every woman is a star.”?
This is usually taken to mean that each individual is unique and has their own path in a spacious universe wherein they can move freely without collision.
What does this mean under Thelema?
“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” and “thou hast no right but to do thy will.” Mean under Thelema?
Most Thelemites hold that every person possesses a True Will, a single overall motivation for their existence. The Law of Thelema mandates that each person follow their True Will to attain fulfilment in life and freedom from restriction of their nature. Because no two True Wills can be in real conflict (according to “Every man and every woman is a star”), this Law also prohibits one from interfering with the True Will of any other person.
What does this mean under Thelema?
“Love is the law, love under will.”
This is an important corollary to the above, indicating that the essential nature of the Law of Thelema is that of Love. Each individual unites with his or her True Self in Love, and so empowered, the entire universe of conscious beings unites with every other being in Love.
Of course, with the emphasis on freedom and individuality inherent in Thelema, the beliefs of any given Thelemite are likely to differ from those of any other. In the Comment appended to The Book of the Law it is stated that: “All questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal to my writings, each for himself.” Although Thelema is sometimes referred to as a “religion”, it accommodates the full range of individual beliefs, from atheism to polytheism. The important thing is that each person has the right to fulfil themselves through whatever beliefs and actions are best suited to them (so long as they do not interfere with the will of others), and only they themselves are qualified to determine what these are.
When was Thelema developed?
the early 1900s
Who developed Thelema?
Aleister Crowley
Who was Aleister Crowley?
An English writer, mystic, and ceremonial magician who developed Thelema
What did Aleister Crowley believe?
He believed himself to be the prophet of a new age, the Æon of Horus, based upon a spiritual experience that he and his wife, Rose Edith, had in Egypt in 1904.By his account, a possibly non-corporeal or “praeterhuman” being that called itself Aiwass contacted him and dictated a text known as The Book of the Law or Liber AL vel Legis, which outlined the principles of Thelema. An adherent of Thelema is a Thelemite.
What is an adherent of Thelema called?
a Thelemite

Transliteration is ________ primarily concerned with representing the sounds of the original but rather with representing the characters, ideally accurately and unambiguously. Thus, in the above example, λλ is transliterated as ‘ll’, but pronounced /l/; Δ is transliterated as ‘D’, but pronounced /ð/; and η is transliterated as ‘ē’, though it is pronounced /i/ (exactly like ι) and is not long.
Conversely, transcription notes the sounds but not necessarily the spelling. So “Ελληνική Δημοκρατία” could be transcribed as “elinikí ðimokratía”, which does not specify which of the /i/ sounds are written as η and which as ι.
