Hi everyone, I have an anxiety disorder (which sucks) Chaos Magick has helped in the past, I guess because its easy-ish to apply - but the more I read Thelemic writing, the more I want to apply Thelema.
Im reading as much as I can, but trying to navigate the big blue brick for anything specific is a bit tricky. Wondered if anyone has any favoured parts of Crowley's writing for strengthening their mental health or self confidence?

(P.s. I'm aware that saying 'EVERYTHING' is a valid response to this question 😅 )

Just curious, is Thelema considered non-dualistic or dualistic?

I would like to share something I've been working on. I thought it would a fun project to try and create a sort of "musical tarot deck," with a song for each major arcanum. I have three albums planned, and I've just completed the first of the three, covering The Fool through The Chariot. I would love for you to give it a listen.

Arcanum Associated: Stop Me If You've Heard This

My main Tarot influences are the Rider Waite deck, the Tabula Mundi deck, Meditations on the Tarot, the Thoth deck with Crowley's (and Duquette's) commentaries, and the BOTA curriculum. Below I've linked a document that details some of my thoughts on how these songs correspond with the trumps (in some cases, the references are obvious, in others the relationship is more oblique). I've also linked a document containing the lyrics, for those like me that find it helpful to see the lyrics while listening.

I very much appreciate the chance to share this project, which has been a real labor of love. I see posts every now and then on this sub, asking if anybody out there is really doing their "True Will." Usually I see at least one answer that runs something like: people really doing their True Will probably aren't taking time to post about it on Reddit. Perhaps this post splits the difference. After four years or so studying Thelema in earnest, I can't say I know exactly what my True Will might be. But I find myself reflecting more and more that, one way or another, so many roads in my life seem to lead back to music, and it seems to be growing more and more clear to me that music is somehow at the heart of whatever my True Will is.

I randomly stumbled across this figure while linkjumping on Wikipedia. Seems like this has some potential for talismanic/sigil work, no?

Does anybody know of documented and published cases of abuse within modern present day Thelema orders or offshoots? Many thanks for your reply and insight!

I read here that some tattoos are required? Is that true?

Does it 180 your internal life? How is it different than saying joining Christianity or Judaism?

I've dabbled chaos magick. I was thinking about exploring thelema and would like to hear about the power of its magick. Thanks

Heres some of what I have in my library of Crowley. Can you list what things are missing so I can start looking for them. Fell free to take whatever youre missing!

So I got this today at a second hand bookstore. What should I expect from it.

Cool find, interesting background too.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law…

Hi everyone, I’m looking to start working with/on my natal chart.

Any recommendations on resources from the Thelemic or Western Esoteric Tradition?

Thanks in advance!

Love is the Law, Law under Will…

Found out about Tattwa (or Tattva) cards being useful as an aid to skrying, but I was wondering if that extends to Astral Projection and what else they're good for?

I'd also appreciate a little guidance on how to use them properly (I have a set on order from some custom card-printing place in China with very mixed reviews, so hope they turn up!!)

I tried using the Tattwa images printed in Israel Regardies "The Golden Dawn" and had some really weird experiences when contemplating/meditating with them (one being a vision of a Pyramid being battered by a large amount of water - I know visions are very subjective things, but I don't tend to get them so this caused me a definite raised eyebrow)

Does anyone know if there’s a reconstructed (or source) Greek text for Liber Samekh invocations?

I was looking into it as I was wondering about pronunciation conventions. Just very finicky about it—I want to pronounce everything in a standardized way, whichever way I pronounce the text.

Nut

Ra

Grandmother

Grandfather

Holy spirit

Spirit true

Spirit for me

Spirit for you

The truth:

If you don’t lose what makes you, you

You can never know the truth

The trick:

Calculate your orbit

Don’t sail into the Sun

I am, but I am not the one

The event horizon

I have become

Heru-Ra-Ha

I am in a certain regimen performing star ruby, saphire and samekh.

It is strange to me to finish SS in which a certain unity is promulgoted, and start samekh in which the duality is pronounced in the beiginning

What is your opinion?

I’m reaching out here with a deeply personal question and hoping for your guidance. My father, who recently passed away, was deeply devoted to Thelema. He held titles and names within the tradition that I didn’t fully understand, but I have fond childhood memories of witnessing group rituals and his passion for the philosophy. While I explored Thelema briefly in my younger years, it never really "stuck" with me, and I admit my understanding of it today is limited.

My father was cremated, and I plan to spread his ashes in places that were meaningful to us. However, I feel there might be something more I could do to honor his spiritual beliefs and connect with him on a deeper level through this shared act. Are there any Thelemic rites, invocations, or symbolic gestures you would recommend for someone in my position? Something that would respect and reflect his devotion while also allowing me to pay tribute to his memory and spirit?

I would appreciate any advice or insight you can share, whether it’s specific rituals, readings, or even just principles I could follow. Thank you for taking the time to help.

Look what my partner bought me for a gift, has collected works of his poetry for his Equinox[s]. Illuminated Poems; so far, some absolutely beautiful works of writing

Does anybody have 777 on a spreadsheet?

Just a quick recommendation for Living Thelema by David Shoemaker - it's a really good book with tonnes of guidance, exercises and general info for those new to their Thelemic path! Supposedly it's Class B literature (although unsure if that's for Thelemic orders in general or just TOTSS/OSIS)

I see this in the Vision and the Voice but I am unsure what is being said? Thanks

I Am Sorta versed in Thelemic Magick and knowledge I'm simply rusty and forgot a whole lot. I'm curious for people who left and came back after a while how you re made your Routines again.

Also before I had come back to thelema I started to go back to Christianity and My love and faith in Jesus has grown. But I Wonder if Thelema is Compatible with Christianity or at least my faith in Jesus.

I apologize if you have had to answer these Questions Before, have a good day.

Does anyone got a pdf for gems from the equinox ? i’d greatly appreciate it, thank you.

I find thelema fascinating and might convert. So what's your true will? How did you discover it? Was it with your HGA?
