	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Thelema
		This "Law of Thelema", as it is called, is not to be interpreted as a license to indulge every passing whim, but rather as the divine mandate to discover one's True Will or true purpose in life, and to accomplish it; leaving others to do the same in their own unique ways.
		Thelema has no direct parallel to the Judaeo-Christian concept of the devil or Satan; however, a pseudo-personification of confusion, distraction, illusion and egotistical ignorance is referred to by the name "Choronzon".
		Thelema also does not recognize any personified source of "evil", such as the Judeo-Christian Satan (although a personification named Choronzon is used to represent malicious confusion, egotism, and illusion).

	Thelema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thelema is the name of a philosophical/religious system established in 1904 through Aleister Crowley and his wife, Rose Edith Kelly, with the writing of Liber AL vel Legis, or The Book of the Law.
		Thelema stresses personal liberty (balanced by responsibility and discipline), the inherent perfection of every person, regardless of gender ("Every man and every woman is a star" AL I:3), and the battle against superstition and tyranny.
		Living Thelema usually, but not necessarily, is intertwined with the practice of magick, spelled thus to denote the concepts and techniques explored and developed by Crowley.

		Thelema is the name of the philosophical school and religious matrix established in 1904 with the writing of Liber AL vel Legis (The Book of the Law) by Aleister Crowley (1875-1947).
		Although there are communal ceremonies informed by Thelema, and organizations to support them (of which Ordo Templi Orientis is the most visible and extensive), Thelemic "religious" practice is a mainly individual affair.
		Thelema appears in the Holy Bible referring to divine will, human will, and even the will of the Devil.

	Thelema
		The word "Thelema" was used by FranÃ§ois Rabelais, a Franciscan and later a Benedictine monk of the 16th century.
		This movement combines Crowley's essential elements of Thelema with Nema's system based on the Egyptian goddesses Ma'at, as established in her received work, "Liber Pennae Praenumbra." HML aims to combine the current Aeon of Horus with the future Aeon of Ma'at, where the combined mind of humanity will awaken and mankind will achieve balance.
		For Tolli, Thelema is to be regarded as the dialectical consequence of Christianity.

		One episode of this epic adventure tells of the founding of an "Abbey of Thelema" as an institution for the cultivation of human virtues, which Rabelais identified as being squarely opposite the prevailing Christian proprieties of the time.
		Virtually all of this writing bears the influence of Thelema as interpreted and understood by Crowley in his capacity as prophet of the New Aeon.
		This philosophy also recognizes that the main task of an individual setting out on the path of Thelema is to first discover his or her True Will, giving methods of self-exploration such as magick great importance.

		The Law of Thelema itself eschews orthodoxy, forbids intellectual dogmatizing concerning the "proper" interpretation of the Law, and demands that those who do so be anathematized.
		While Thelema has not yet attracted much attention in the field of comparative religion, a somewhat unusual attempt was made by the Mariavite catholic bishop Federico Tolli, in his German book "Thelema- Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Christentum, Logentradition und New Aeon" (Leipzig, 2004.) For Tolli, Thelema is to be regarded as the dialectical consequence of Christianity.
