Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Greetings! My name is Frater Ash, the founder of Thelemapedia, which started in early 2004 and finally came online on September 18 of that year. I worked as its Managing Director until Oct. 26, 2005.

By the time of my "retirement", I had been a proud member of Scarlet Woman Lodge, a chartered local body of O.T.O., since 1995. By 2005 I had earned a charter to initiate members into the degrees 0 through III, and taken Orders of Ordination into the Priesthood of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica.

In 2007 I officially retired from active membership in OTO.

Love is the law, love under will.

-Not necessarily. I was under the impression that a lot of stuff had been moved around and changed, and I didn't have a chance to go through it in depth, and there was no documentation of what was changed or why. I was under the impression that when we make chances, we should include a little note about them so that editors can get a glimpse of what has been changed. Given the amount of effort I put into collating all that material for the religion page, I would have appreciated being able to understand at a glance what was being done.
-That page by the way is much more than a simple overview of religion. It also includes substantial text relating Thelema to the concept of religion, and this is why I felt it should be so titled. Regardless, when I have time I'll examine all the changes you made and offer my thoughts after that. I won't just rearrange everything the way I like it with no notice or explanation.
