  Thelema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although the modern Thelemic movements trace their origins to the works of Francois Rabelais and Aleister Crowley, the latter pointed to important antecedents to his use of the term, and other instances are apparent from research.
For example, Nu and Had are thought to correspond with the Tao and Teh of Taoism, Shakti and Shiva of the Hindu Tantras, Shunyata and Bodhicitta of Buddhism, Ain Soph and Kether in the Qabalah.
However, the merit and contribution of bishop Tolli to Thelemic studies lies in the fact that it was he who first expresses that the genuine meaning and idea of Thelema does not necessarily contradict the teachings of Jesus, as Crowley himself affirms.

 Thelemic Initiation by David Cherubim
From the Thelemic point of view, initiation is the birth of the golden flower of the True Will; it is the realization of one’s true path in the cosmos, thus making for the manifestation of the knowledge and power of one’s True Self.
Thelemic initiation is a threefold process, having three principal grades of attainment, called the Hermit, the Lover, and the Man of Earth.
Thelemic initiation is the awakening of the development of efficiency with regard to the active execution and fulfillment of one’s True Will.

The modern Aeon of Horus is considered to be dominated by the Principle of the Child, the sovereign individual; and its formula is that of growth, in consciousness and love, toward self-realization.
Thelemic doctrine holds that the disharmony and imbalance created by such actions results in a compensatory, equilibrating response from the universe; a doctrine similar to that of the Eastern conception of "Karma".

 Thelemic mysticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Within the modern system of Thelema, developed by Aleister Crowley in the first half of the 20th century, Thelemic mysticism is a complex mystical path designed to do two interrelated things: to learn one's unique True Will and to achieve union with the All.
Another key element to Thelemic mysticism is the ability to concentrate.
This skill has two modalities: the first is the rapid, accurate, and efficient movement of thought (which is the realm of magick) and the other is the stopping of thought altogether (which is accomplished in Yoga).

 BastSet - Thelemic Symbols
In Thelemic Magick, the Kiblah is the Stele of Revealing and the Kaaba is Boleskine, the House or Temple of the Prophet, located on Loch Ness in Scotland.
The Thelemic Magician gives the Sign of Horus at the location of the Stele of Revealing in the East while performing Ritual Circumambulations in the Temple, to project the Magical Force that radiates therefrom.
This is the symbol of the Ascended Masters for this new Aeon of Horus which was given to Mankind by Ankh-af-na-khonsu, (Priest of Princes and the Thelemic Prophet of the new Aeon).

 Thelemic Calendar and Holidays   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The Thelemic Calendar begins in 1904, the year in which Aleister Crowley received The Book of the Law and inaugurated the New Aeon of Horus.
Furthermore, the Thelemic year is often written as a pair of numbers, such as III:21.
Writing the Thelemic year in this manner allows a correlation to be drawn between the year and the trumps of the Tarot, which are numbered from 0 through 21.

She is on record as having stated "...this [Thelemic material] was not really suitable for the Old Craft of the Wise, however beautiful the words might be, or how much one might agree with what they said..." ("The Witches Bible", by Janet and Stewart Farrar, p.42, footnote 8).
When we compare those systems with Golden Dawn and Thelemic practices, there is only one major notable difference: the older systems were based upon the tides of nature (mainly related to the cycles of the crops or live-stock).
It does not discuss the Thelemic connection in any depth, but it does highlight much of the Crowley material to be found in the Book of Shadows.

 What Is Thelema? :: lashtal.com :: Thelemic News and Culture
The book The Holy Books of Thelema includes most of the books which Thelemites consider to be Crowley's "inspired" texts, and which form the canon of Thelemic Holy Scripture.
Another book which forms an important part of the Thelemic canon, but which is not included in The Holy Books of Thelema for technical reasons, is Liber XXX Aerum vel Saeculi, sub figura CDXVIII, commonly called The Vision and the Voice.
Sometimes these phrases are abbreviated by the simple statement of the number "ninety-three", which number signifies both "Will" and "Love" through a particular form of numerology of significance within Thelema.

 The Thelemic Origins of Wicca
The seasons, the motions of the sun and moon, the harvest, the hunt, fertility, all of this was not only the main focus of the older systems, but the very origins of the symbolism used by the modern systems.
This, of course, is hardly a philosophy removed from Thelema itself; which largely stresses the recognition of the true nature of the human animal, and celebration of the Divine through acts of pleasure and joy.
Where this kind of miscommunication and misinterpretation of the Rede is concerned, the Thelemic philosophy is correct.

Therefore, it is not of critical importance for a bishop of the Thelemic E.G.C. to hold a valid "apostolic succession" as defined by the Canon Law of exoteric Christianity.
The E.G.C. thus serves as the social focal point of the Thelemic community, and its clergy are responsible for fostering harmony and fellowship.

As Thelemic contacts are few and far between, it becomes productive to take the insights of one and share these with others.
The first problem and perhaps the only real problem in handling religious riddles, is that once they are established as such, people tend to want them to remain as a permanent part of the established dogma.
The former is the Thelemic approach while the latter also has roots in Tantric tradition.
