What is a Thelemite?

Thelemite is a follower of Thelema, a religious and philosophical movement founded by Aleister Crowley in the early 20th century. Thelema is based on the idea that the individual’s True Will is the highest law, and that the goal of life is to achieve self-realization through the fulfillment of one’s Will. Thelema is a complex and diverse movement, and there is no single set of beliefs or practices that all Thelemites adhere to. However, some of the core tenets of Thelema include:

• The Law of Thelema: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.”
• Thelema is the religion of the New Aeon, which is a time of great change and upheaval.
• Thelema is based on the belief in the divinity of the individual.
• Thelema is a religion of love, freedom, and self-expression.
• Thelema is a path of personal development and spiritual growth.

Thelema has been criticized for its emphasis on individualism and its lack of a traditional moral code. However, Thelemites argue that their religion is a force for good in the world, and that it can help individuals to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives.
