Ash, nice edit on "Different Views." Thanks. Adityanath

Disambiguation

I think this should be split into several different articles to disambiguate usage. I'd suggest:

Thelema - overview article
Thelema (formula)
Thelema (system) (the practical system)
Thelema (religion) (the religious aspect)

I would add Thelema (history), but that should simply redirect to History.

I don't think it needs to be a full disambiguation page...a section on "See Also" should suffice if someone wants to write more detailed articles. —Ash

Done, wrt Religion. I'm unconvinced that Thelema has a single "practical system": the systems of A.'.A.'. and OTO differ in important respects, and other systems are possible (and extant) under the general aegis of Thelema. To the extent that an overview of Thelemic practices (systematized or not) is useful and possible, the "Practices" subsection of the current article goes a long way in that direction. --Paradoxosalpha 16:36, 22 Feb 2005 (CST)

Other Personalities in Liber Legis, edits

I edited the Hrumachis summary, because it reflected an inaccurate reading of Liber AL. Hrumachis is RHK, who will "arise" (i.e. vacate the Throne of the Aeon) at the future Equinox of the Gods. "The double-wanded one" is Thmaist (Maat), who is not Hrumachis. But see how quickly this sort of thing gets pestilential?

Also, how did Chaos get into this list? Where does that name appear in Liber Legis? --Paradoxosalpha 16:36, 22 Feb 2005 (CST)
