OTO/EGC
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:
