What is Thelemapedia?

Thelemapedia is an encyclopedia written collaboratively by a group of volunteer editors. The topics revolve around the philosophy/religion of Thelema and the practice of magick as generally taught by Aleister Crowley. The technology of Thelemapedia is called a Wiki, which allows pages to be quickly and easily edited by anyone using an ordinary web browser. Generally, very little code is needed for formatting, most of which is easy to learn and use. Everyone is welcome to become an editor and add to the encyclopedia.

Features

The main features of Thelemapedia are:

Articles—any editor can create and/or edit an article. Every page includes a:
