Thelema is an internationally recognised religion, with many solitary followers as well as active practitioners.

Thelema has 3 active Organisations:

- The OTO: (Social and Political Thelemic Thought) 4000+ active members worldwide

- The EGC: (Religious Gnostic Catholic Church of Thelema) membership I don't know... but The Gnostic Mass is held many times a week worldwide as is open to the public

- The A.'.A.'. (The Mystical Solitary Thelemic system) (membership numbers unknown due to the nature of the Order)

We have
- a Holy Book - Liber Al vel Legis (The Book of the Law)
- A prophet (of sorts)
- Many formal rites and rituals.
- 1 single dogma.
- Active bodies in 21 different countries in the world

Thelema has is foundations in Gnosticism, Mysticism, Hermetic Qabala, Western Esotericism, Eastern Mysticism/Tantra/Yoga and the Occult.

Thelema is also the foundation for many modern relgions such as Wicca, Satanism, Setianism, Scientology (tangential off shoot that bares no relation but was started by a Thelemite).

If you have an opinion either way woud you mind sharing your thoughts on the subject.
Also - if you know a little about Thelema - which sub-forum would it be best placed in do you think?

Thanks so much RF members.
I'm really trying to find a home here... am currently 'sofa surfing' the DIRs and getting into trouble:help:

If we do get a Thelema DIR i'll be popping a cork here::cloud9: and toasting you all :blowkiss::hugkiss::foryou:

Yes possibly this would be a good place.

Or Other Revealed Religions

Or Non-Theistic/Non-religions beliefs

Or New Religious movements

Or Other religious movements and Practises..

Its HARD to place it.

LHP-ers do not see us as LHP........:confused:

We have a Satanism and a Setian DIR, we should also have a Thelemic DIR as it is also a lagit metaphysical philosophy studied and practiced by many. Perhaps best suited for the Magic or Esotericism DIR.

Xeper.

Oops, I meant to say Other Religious Movements and Practices DIR would be a good place for Thelema DIR.

I think so. Though Thelema can certainly be LHP or at least compatible I would rather it not be in that DIR.

Of course a DIR on top of organizations, dogma, community, and preaching completely destroy everything the Law stands for, but hey...

Thanks Odion... any idea how many votes I need to get the DIR made??

Is there anything else I should be doing?

I'd say you're there already, Octavia. 18 yeas, no nays, should be more than good enough.

Now it's just a matter of where to put it.
