| | Scarlet Woman Lodge, O.T.O. | About Thelema (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | The “acceptance” of the Law of Thelema is what defines a Thelemite; and the discovery and accomplishment of the True Will is the fundamental concern of all Thelemites. |
 | | As a religion, Thelema tends to inspire free thinking over faith, which Crowley defined as “acceptance of any statement as true without criticism, examination, verification, or any other method of test.” We embrace the emperical methods of modern science, although many Thelemites often denounce certain dogmatic aspects of pure empiricism. |
 | | Also, Thelema utterly rejects the notion of original sin, and states, rather, that we are all divine creatures—“Every man and every woman is a star.” –AL I:5. |
