Glad to have you here. I've never heard of the Law of Thelema.

This is what the OTO (ordo templi orientis) will tell you about thelema:
The religion known as Thelema was founded in 1904 by the English poet and mystic Aleister Crowley (1875 - 1947), who is regarded as its prophet. Those who follow the path of Thelema are called Thelemites. Thelema emphasizes individualism, and the uniqueness of each person's Will. As a result, it is very difficult to make blanket statements about its nature or (still more so) the natures of its adherents. Even the label "religion" fits Thelema awkwardly in some contexts — it is in other senses a philosophy and a way of life, while also overlapping with the set of practices and symbols commonly called "Magick". In this section of the US Grand Lodge OTO site we offer what can only be a bare introduction to Thelema, covering Thelema's founder Aleister Crowley, Thelemic theology, our calendar and customs, and a brief description of the O.T.O.'s sister Order, the A∴A∴. We strongly encourage you to use these resources as a gateway to your own explorations. "There is joy in the setting out; there is joy in the journey; there is joy in the goal." There are several differences between that definition and the definition that I give it. I read the Book of the Law and it shook me in a way that nothing (not even the bible and at one time I was trying out christianity) ever had. The magick portions of it I feel are outdated and not very useful in this day and age. While I believe it is very real and very powerful, I personally do not practice Magick. My purpose in joining here was to hopefully find other thelemites and also to debate about the parts that crowley misinterpreted within the book of the law. He spent his entire life attempting to decrypt the hidden meanings of the book but never did. In fact, many people have taken his words wrongly because of these misinterpretations and it has lead to people being misguided as to what I feel is the true path of thelema as described by the powers Nuit, Hadit, and Horus. My god is Nuit, praise be to her! The fire of my soul is Hadit! Horus and The Church of the Sun are the rewards for those who follow the path of thelema all the way through the end times.
