If you are interested in linking to Thelemapedia from your website, here are some available banners you may choose from.

[edit]

Promotion stategies

Create links: If you come across a site that has a links page, and seems suitable for Thelemapedia, you can write a polite email to the webmaster telling them about this site, and requesting a link. You can direct them to this page, if you think they might like a banner. We are also willing to give reciprocal links to anyone who wants one. Remember, their site doesn't have to be strictly Thelemic...it can be Pagan, Gnostic, or about magick, mysticism, alchemy, astrology, etc.
Blog power: Promote the site in blogs. There are several ways to do this:
- Write an entry devoted to Thelemapedia (remember to provide a link).
- If you are writing on a topic that has an article on Thelemapedia, provide a simple link to that page in your post.
- If you have a LiveJournal account, you can put in a banner and a link back to Thelemapedia in your bio section. You can also include "Thelemapedia" in your "interests" list. As an editor you are also elegible for a "Thelemapedia Editor" banner (see below).
- If acceptable, put a footer in your posts that contains a link to Thelemapedia. For example:

<a href="http://www.thelemapedia.org">Thelemapedia: the open source encyclopedia of Thelema, magick, astrology, ritual, qabalah, and more.</a>

T-shirts: Buy a Thelemapedia t-shirt (http://www.cafepress.com/thelemapedia). There are several to choose from, and they are priced as cheaply as possible.
