The following Thelemapedia projects are in special need of attention. If you are looking for something specific to work on, look no further than this page. If you add a full article from the list, please come back to this page and delete the listing. If you begin one, or add something small, then come back and list what is still needed.

Everyone is welcome to add to this page. If you think there are some pages that need attention, by all means add them.

Glossaries

I thought it would be useful to begin some glossaries of the major site topics. They are designed to be single pages with a list of common terms and jargon with brief definitions. Please consider adding to them. Also, there could be many other glossaries, especially for astrology, alchemy, and yoga.

Thoth Tarot

This is off to a good start, so help see it through.

Thoth Tarot (needs history and general description and theory)
Lady Frieda Harris (still a stub)
All the Major Arcana need help: The Fool (tarot), The Magus (tarot), The Priestess (tarot), The Empress (tarot), The Emperor (tarot), The Hierophant (tarot), The Lovers (tarot), The Chariot (tarot), Adjustment (tarot), The Hermit (tarot), Fortune (tarot), Lust (tarot), The Hanged Man (tarot), Death (tarot), Art (tarot), The Devil (tarot), The Tower (tarot), The Star (tarot), The Moon (tarot), The Sun (tarot), The Aeon (tarot), The Universe (tarot)

Project: Scarlet Women

The women of Thelema need a voice...give it to them!

Mary Butts (1892-1937) author, acquaintance of Aleister Crowley, resident at Cefalù
Rose Edith Crowley (1874-1932) (still needs lots of work)
Leah Hirsig (1883–1951) (more! more!)
Regina Kahl (1891-1945) member of Agape Lodge #2 O.T.O., first priestess in a public Gnostic Mass
Maria de Miramar (1894-196?) The second wife of Aleister Crowley
Dorothy Olsen Sr. Astrid, a Scarlet Woman; student and companion of Crowley
Phyllis Seckler (1917-2004) Sr. Meral IXº O.T.O., 5=6 A.'.A.'., founder College of Thelema.
Leila Waddell (1880–1932) LAYLAH, companion of Crowley, inspiration for The Book of Lies, accomplished violinist
Jane Wolfe (1875-1958) Sr. Estai, acquaintance of Aleister Crowley, resident at Cefalù, actress in silent films

Project: Sex!

C'mon now, are we "evil black sex magicians" or not?? Let's hear about that Good Stuff:

Project: Crowley's Major Operations

Please try to keep technical jargon down to a minimum, or explain it when necessary. Remember, the object is to educate—do not assume knowledge.

Project: Astrology

Natal chart
Qualities (astrology) (i.e. cardinal, fixed, & mutable...please make one page for all three)
Motion (astrology) (e.g. retrograde, returns, transits, etc)
Orb (astrology)
Heavenly bodies (e.g. asteroids, fixed stars, & moons, etc.)
All of the signs could use some help: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces
All of the planets could use some help: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Luna, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
Feel free to add items that are missing
A lot of the entries in this project could use some information from Thelema. The General Principles of Astrology by Crowley may be a good source to use.

Works of Crowley

For the truly insane:

Works of Aleister Crowley (Books) (each book needs a description)
Works of Aleister Crowley (Poetry) (needs a far more complete list, preferrably broken up by some catagorical system, such as by theme or period. Also, we could certainly host some of him poems, many of which are in the public domain (pre-1924 I believe).
Works of Aleister Crowley (Other) (Other stuff, like essays, magazine articles, newspaper columns, etc.)
The Desk Reference (http://www.redflame93.com/DeskReference.html) is a great reference
