Silverstar: AEV? Huh?

Who/ what is Ahmadiyya? I suggest there be a short explanation, as this is certainly not a well-known word.--[[User:Silverstar|Silverstar]] 08:20, 16 Jul 2005 (CDT)

Same sentence that has Ahmadiyya is constructed badly, I can't make out the intended meaning very easily. This should be attended to. Also, I notice that the article uses AEV many times, so apparently this is not a typo. I think this usage looks inelegant and unwieldy, besides which, I've never encountered this abbreviation. Maybe we can stick to the more common CE or latinized equivalent of EV popular with Thelemites?--[[User:Silverstar|Silverstar]] 08:33, 16 Jul 2005 (CDT)

{{Stub}}

A '''Thelemite''' is an adherent of [[Thelema]].
In Liber Legis, c. i, v. 40:
"Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover, and the man of Earth."

I am an English teacher in South Korea.
I have been reading Aleister Crowley (and related) for my entire adult life (for about 16 years or more).
I have been a practicing Thelemite for about as long.

I look forward to making this a kick butt site.

Silverstar: my first stab at an intro

Odysseus

2005-07-08T18:08:29Z

Silverstar: removed stray bracket

'''Odysseus Laërtiadês''' (descendant of Laertes), or simply '''Odysseus''' is a character in Greek mythology, known as '''Ulysses''' in Roman mythology. He is the hero of the ''Odyssey'', and a major player in the ''Iliad'', son of Laertes (or, much later, Sisyphus) and Anticlea.

Odysseus once used the name '''Noman''' or '''Nobody''' as an alias to fool Polyphemus in ''The Odyssey''. (Compare this to the <b>Nemo</b> which is the name of the Master of the Temple in [[The Vision and the Voice]].)

As a child, Odysseus was wet-nursed by Euryclea. Odysseus was the king of Ithaca, husband of Penelope and father of Telemachus, favorite of Athena, and wiliest of the Greeks involved in the Trojan War. Odysseus earns this title by, among other things, masterminding the Trojan Horse. According to some sources, Odysseus had four children besides Telemachus, the most famous: with Circe, Telegonus, Argius, and Latinus; with Calypso or Circe, Nausinous; with ??? he was father of Ardeas and Auson.

In Robert Fitzgerald's transliteration of The Odyssey, Odysseus refers to himself as '''Quarrelman''', due to the fact that he quarreled with the suitors.

== Before The Trojan War ==

Odysseus was one of the original suitors of Helen. He agreed to help Tyndareus, her father, settle the dispute for her hand in marriage, in return for which Tyndareus supported Odysseus in his quest to marry Penelope. Odysseus and all the other suitors pledged to defend Helen's marriage to the winning suitor, Menelaus.

Odysseus did not want to make good on his pledge to defend Menelaus' marriage. He pretended to be insane, ploughing his fields and sowing salt instead of seeds. Agamemnon (Menelaus' brother), however, sent Palamedes to retrieve Odysseus. Palamedes was very intelligent and placed Telemachus, Odysseus' son, in front of the plough. Odysseus could not kill his son and revealed his sanity, then left for the Trojan War.

On the way to Troy, Philoctetes was bitten by a snake on Chryse. Odysseus advised that he be left behind because the wound was festering and smelled bad. Ten years later, Helenus, under torture, revealed that Philoctetes' arrows (which he received from Heracles) would be necessary to win the war. Odysseus and Neoptolemus went to Lemnos to retrieve Philoctetes.

== Odysseus In The Trojan War ==

In the Trojan War, Odysseus and Diomedes stole the Palladium (and King Rhesus' horses) in a nocturnal raid.

Later, Odysseus, Phoenix and Ajax went to Scyros to persuade Achilles to join the battle.

With the aid of Athena, Ajax rescued the body of Achilles from the hands of the Trojans. In the competition between him and Odysseus for the armor of Achilles, Agamemnon, at the instigation of Athena, awarded the prize to Odysseus. This so enraged Ajax that it caused his death (Odyssey, xi. 541). According to a later and more detailed story, his disappointment drove him mad; he rushed out of his tent and fell upon the flocks of sheep in the camp under the impression that they were the Trojan enemy; on coming to his senses, in shame he killed himself with the sword which he had received as a present from Hector.

Odysseus never forgave Palamedes for sending him to the Trojan War (some sources date to approximately 1184 BC). When Palamedes advised the Trojans to return him, Odysseus accused him of being a traitor and forged false evidence and found a fake witness to testify against him. Palamedes was stoned to death.

The Greek siege of Troy had lasted for ten years. The Greeks devised a new ruse - a giant hollow wooden horse. (The Trojans were famous horse-breeders, and archaeology confirms this). It was built by Epeius and filled with Greek warriors led by Odysseus. The rest of the Greek army appeared to leave and the Trojans accepted the horse as a peace offering. A Greek spy, Sinon, convinced the Trojans the horse was a gift despite the warnings of Laocoon and Cassandra. The Trojans celebrated hugely and when the Greeks emerged from the horse the city was in a drunken stupor. The Greek warriors opened the city gates to allow the rest of the army access and the city was ruthlessly pillaged - all the men were killed and all the women taken into slavery. This was called the Trojan Horse.

== Odysseus' Return To Ithaca ==

Odysseus had one of the best helmsmen in ancient Greece, Baius. Poseidon delayed Odysseus' voyage for two reasons: his role in the defeat of Troy; and his actions against Poseidon's son, Polyphemus, described below.

Members of Odysseus' Crew
#Achaemenides
#Elpenor
#Eurylochus
#Macar
#Misenus
#Mnestheus
#Polites

=== The Lotus Eaters ===

When Odysseus and his men landed on the island of the Lotus-Eaters, they began doing as the natives did, eating the lotus flowers. This caused them to sleep and stop caring about ever going home. Finally, Odysseus managed to rescue himself from the apathy and set sail.

=== Polyphemus ===

A scouting party led by Odysseus (and his friend, Misenus), lands in the land of the Cyclopes and ventures upon a large cave. They enter into the cave and proceed to feast on some food they find there. Unknown to them, this cave is the home of Polyphemus who soon comes upon the trespassers and traps them in his cave. He proceeds to eat several crew members, but Odysseus devised a cunning plan for escape.

To make Polyphemus unwary, Odysseus gave him a barrel of very strong, unwatered wine. When Polyphemus asked for Odysseus' name, he told him that it was "Noman" or "Nobody". Once the giant fell asleep, Odysseus and his men took a hardened spear and destroyed Polyphemus' only eye. In the morning, Odysseus tied his men and himself to the undersides of Polyphemus' sheep. When the Cyclops let the sheep out to graze, the men were carried out. Since Polyphemus was blind, he didn't see the men, but felt the tops of his sheep to make sure the men weren't riding them.

Once the sheep (and men) were safely out, Polyphemus realized that the men weren't in his cave. He yelled out to his fellow Cyclopes that "Noman"/"Nobody" hurt him, so they ignored him. As Odysseus and his men were sailing away, he told Polyphemus that "Noman/Nobody didn't hurt you, Odysseus did!" Odysseus didn't realize that Polyphemus was the son of Poseidon, and that telling him his name would have severe repercussions.

(According to Virgil's Aeneid, Achaemenides was one of Odysseus' crew who stayed on Sicily with Polyphemus until Aeneas arrived and took him with him.)

=== Aeolus ===

Odysseus stopped at Aiolia, home of Aeolus, the god of the winds. He gave them hospitality for a month and provided for a west wind to carry them home. Unfortunately he also provided a gift of a bag containing each of the four winds, which Odysseus' crew members opened just before their home was reached. They were blown back to Aiolia, where Aeolus refused to provide any further help.

=== The Laestrygonians ===

They came to Telepylos, the stronghold of Lamos, king of the Laestrygonians. These people attacked the fleet with boulders, sinking all but one of the ships and killing hundreds of Odysseus' men.

=== Circe ===

The next stop was the island of Circe (Aeaea), where Odysseus sent a scouting party ahead of the rest of the group. She invited the scouting party to a feast, the food laced with one of her magical potions, and she then changed all the men into pigs with a wand after they gorged themselves on it. Only Eurylochus, suspecting treachery from the outset, escaped to warn Odysseus and the others who had stayed behind at the ships. Odysseus set out to rescue his men, but was intercepted and told by Hermes to procure some of the herb moly to protect him from the same fate. When her magic failed he was able to force her to return his men to human form. She later fell in love with Odysseus and assisted him in his quest to reach his home after he and his crew spent a year with her on her island. Circe and Odysseus had three children: Telegonus, Argius, and Latinus.

On Circe's island, one member of Odysseus' crew, his good friend Elpenor, got drunk and fell off Circe's roof, dying.

=== Journey to the Underworld ===

Odysseus wanted to speak with Tiresias, so he and his men journeyed to the River Acheron where they performed sacrifices which allowed then to speak to the dead, including his mother, Elpenor, Tiresias and Achilles. They all gave him valuable advice on how to pass the rest of his journey. Odysseus sacrificed a ram and the dead spirits were attracted to the blood. He held them at bay and demanded to speak with Tiresias who told him how to pass by Helios' cattle. He also told Odysseus that after he returned to Ithaca, that he must take a well-made oar and walk inland with it until someone asked him why he carried a winnowing-fan on his back. At that place, he was to make a sacrifice to Poseidon. He also told Odysseus that after all that was done, that he would die an old man, "full of years and peace of mind," that his death would come from the sea and that his life would ebb away very gently. (Some read this as meaning that his death would come away from the sea.)

=== The Sirens ===

Odysseus escaped the Sirens by having all his sailors plug their ears with wax and tie him to the mast. He was curious as to what the Sirens sounded like. When he heard their beautiful music, he ordered the sailors to untie him but they ignored him. When they had passed out of earshot, Odysseus stopped thrashing about and calmed down, and was released.

=== Scylla and Charybdis ===

When Odysseus had to sail between Scylla and Charybdis, he chose to lose some of his crew to the monster Scylla rather than his whole ship to Charybdis, a whirlpool.

=== Helios' Cattle ===

Finally, Odysseus and his surviving crew landed on an island, Thrinacia, sacred to Helios, where he kept sacred cattle. Though Odysseus warned his men not to (as Tiresias had told him), they killed and ate some of the cattle. The guardians of the island, Helios' daughters, Lampetia and Phaethusa, told their father. Helios destroyed the ship and all the men save Odysseus. Sometimes, Apollo replaced Helios.

=== Calypso ===

Odysseus was washed ashore on Ogygia, where the nymph Calypso lived. She made him her lover for seven years and wouldn't let him leave, promising him immortality if he stayed. On behalf of Athena, Zeus intervened and sent Hermes to tell Calypso to let Odysseus go. Odysseus left on a small raft furnished with provisions of water, wine and food by Calypso, only to be hit by a storm and washed up on the island of Scheria and was found by Nausicaa, daughter of King Alcinous and Queen Arete of the Phaeacians, who entertained him well and escorted him to Ithaca. On the twentieth day of sailing he arrived Phaeacia, and from there he got a "ride" to his home in Ithaca.

== Odysseus Reaches Ithaca ==

In Ithaca, Penelope was fending off countless suitors while Odysseus' mother, Anticlea, had died of grief. Odysseus disguised himself as an old man or a beggar. The first one to recognize him was his old wet-nurse, Euryclea. Odysseus saw that Penelope was faithful to him, pretending to knit a burial shroud (for they claimed he must be dead) and claiming she would choose one suitor when she finished. Every night she undid part of the shroud, until one day, a maid of hers betrayed this secret to the suitors. They demanded that she finally choose someone. Luckily, this is just before Odysseus showed up. Odysseus watched the suitors drink and take advantage of his family's hospitality. Meanwhile, Penelope announces that she will marry whoever can string Odysseus' bow and send an arrow through twelve axes. Of course, only Odysseus was capable of stringing the bow. Odysseus then took off his disguise and, with Telemachus, Laertes and a local prophet named Halitherses, killed them all save Medon, who had been polite to Penelope, and Phemius, a local singer who had been forced to help the suitors against Penelope. (This event can be dated to April 16,1178 BC, by a total solar eclipse during midday meal. Total eclipses are visible from the same place once in 410 years in average, claim the astronomers. See more details under Penelope.) As another alternate version, Odysseus tested his wife's loyalty by claiming she had moved their bed (which had a tree as a bedpost). She denied doing so and Odysseus knew she was loyal. According to a rarely heard version of this story, Odysseus was sent into exile by Neoptolemus for killing the suitors. In another version, Odysseus was welcomed by his old swineherd, Eumaeus, who didn't recognize him in disguise, but still treated him well. Eumaeus then helped him kill the suitors.
Another story goes that only Odysseus' faithful dog recognized him in his rags upon his return. He had waited thirty years to see the traveller. Aged and decrepit, he hobbled up to his master at the city gates, licked his hand once, and then happily lay down to die.

One of the suitors' (Antinous) father, Eupeithes, tried to overthrow Odysseus after the death of his son. Laertes killed him.

== Other Stories ==

Odysseus figures in the end of the story of King Telephus of Mysia. It is he who deciphers the oracle's riddle regarding Telephus' wound and then heals him.

There may have been a sequel to the Odyssey.

Silverstar: the 'history lection' is liber lxi not liber x? or am i wrong?

The A&there4;A&there4;, or "Great White Brotherhood," is an organized fraternity of men and women dedicated to the spiritual advancement of humanity. The current structure of the organization was designed by [[Aleister Crowley]] and [[George Cecil Jones]] in 1906 from the ashes of the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]]. The A&there4;A&there4; revealed ''[[The Book of the Law|Liber AL vel Legis]]'' to the world through the Prophet Aleister Crowley, as well as the other [[The Holy Books of Thelema|Holy Books of Thelema]].

In ''An Account of A&there4;A&there4;'', Aleister Crowley writes,
:This community possesses a School, in which all who thirst for knowledge are instructed by the Spirit of Wisdom itself; and all the mysteries of nature are preserved in this school for the children of light. Perfect knowledge of nature and of humanity is taught in this school. It is from her that all truths penetrate into the world; she is the school of all who search for wisdom, and it is in this community alone that truth and the explantation of all mystery are to be found.

In "The System of the O.T.O", which originally appeared in ''Magick Without Tears'', Crowley says,

:The A&there4;A&there4; concerns the individual, his development, his intitiation, his passage from "Student" to "Ipsissimus"; he has no contact of any kind with any other person except the Neophyte who introduces him, and any Student or Students whom he may, after becoming a Neophyte, introduce.

==Membership==
A&there4;A&there4; is unique in that members officially only know their superior and any inferiors they themselves are responsible for. There are no regular group rituals (measures are taken to hide the identity of the Officers during the few Temple initiation rituals), and members are expected to work alone, consulting as needed with their superior in the Order. In this way the founders of the system hoped to avoid the many social complications and ego problems that led to the downfall of the predecessor organization, the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]]. The A&there4;A&there4; is a spiritual organization focused on enlightenment of the individual, with a strong emphasis on maintaining the chain of initiates from teacher to student, and devoting all of ones attainments to those that follow.

In general, a member of A&there4;A&there4; will do the following:

*Discover for himself his own true will, and then do it, and do nothing else
*Accept the ''Book of the Law'' as the sole Rule of Life
*Acknowledge that "The word of the Law is Θελημα" and that "Love is the law, love under will."
*Acknowledge the authority of the offices of the Beast 666 and the Scarlet Woman
*Accept Ra-Hoor-Khuit as the Lord of the Aeon, and work to establish His reign upon Earth
*Work to attain the Knowledge and Conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel
*After the K&C of the HGA, to enter into the Abyss, and to emerge again therefrom

==Initiatory structure==
The A&there4;A&there4; consists of eleven grades devided into a preparatory stage, and three initiatory "Orders":

''Without all Orders''

:'''Student''': His business is to acquire a general intellectual knowledge of all systems of attainment, as declared in the prescribed books. At the end of a fixed period, the Student sits an open-book examination to test his reading, after which he passes through a small ritual involving the reading of the History Lection (Liber LXI), and passes to the grade of Probationer.

:'''Probationer''' (0°=0#): This grade exists primarily for the candidate to prove himself capable of executing the Great Work, and to prepare him for his initiation into the A&there4;A&there4; proper. His principal business is to begin such practices as he my prefer, and to write a careful record of the same for one year. In this, he is charged with the tasks of attaining a "scientific knowledge of the nature and powers of his own being". Crowley elsewhere mentions that the Probationer must demonstrate a reasonable level of proficiency in the core practices of the Order (as laid out in Libers ''E'', and ''O''). This is primarily to ensure that when advancement comes, the newly created Neophyte will have the necessary experience to guide his own Probationers in their work. Initiation into the following grade of Neophyte is conferred after at least one year, through an unpublished ritual titled ''Liber Throa''.

''The Order of the G&there4;D&there4; (Golden Dawn)''

:'''Neophyte''' (1°=10#): The title of the grade is derived from the Greek ''neophutos'', meaning ''newly planted''. The Neophyte grade is the first grade in which true initiation takes place, and the candidate set in fertile spiritual soil in which to grow. The Neophyte is charged with the task of attaining "control of the nature and powers of [his] own being." This is prosecuted through the acquisition and use of the technique of [[Rising on the Planes]], i.e. by acquiring perfect control of the Astral Plane. Initiation into the grade of Zelator is conferred a minimum of eight months, through a second unpublished ritual, titled ''The Passing through the Duat''.

:'''Zelator''' (2°=9#): His main work is to achieve complete success in Asana and Pranayama. He also begins to study the formula of the Rosy Cross. The word "Zelator" probably stems from the Greek ''zealos'', zeal. This is in reference to the energy-building asanas and pranayamas that characterise the main work of the grade. The Oath of the grade states the Zelator is to "obtain control of the foundations of [his] own being", a reference to the Sephirah [[Yesod]], to which the grade is attributed. Advancement to Practicus is administrative only, requiring no initiatory ritual as such, and may be conferred at any time.

:'''Practicus''' (3°=8#): Is expected to complete his intellectual training, and in particular to study the Qabalah. The grade title suggests the "practical" use of the skills acquired through the previous grades. The Practicus is prosecuted to "obtain control of the vacillations of [his] own being", which is to say that he must learn to control his own mind, and become one-pointed in thought, and so in word and action. Advancement to Philosophus, like the advancement to Practicus, is also a purely administrative process, and again may be conferred at any time.

:'''Philosophus''' (4°=7#): Is expected to complete his moral training. He is tested in Devotion to the Order. In particular, this grade stresses the application of adorations to various deities, such as are outlined in ''Liber Astarte''. The oath of the grade characterises this; the Philosophus resolves to "obtain control of the attractions and repulsions of my own being." This effort is the primarily directed toward transcending the likes and dislikes, deliberately defying one's morality, and so on. The aim is to break out of one's predefined idea of self, and reach a perfectly equanimous perspective. Advancement to Dominus Liminis is made at the perfection of this process, and may take place at any time, with no prescribed ritual.

:'''Dominus Liminis'''—the link: The grade of Dominus Liminis is a "bridge" that connects the outer Order of the G&there4;D&there4;, centred in [[Yesod]], with the Order of the R&there4;C&there4;, centred in [[Tiphareth]]. The work of the Dominus Liminis extends and refines the work of the previous grades, synthesising it into a coherent whole. The self-control of the Neophyte, the energy of the Zelator, the one-pointedness of the Practicus and the indifference of the Philosophus are fused together, and turned to the work of strengthening and refining the faculty of aspiration. Indeed, the oath of this grade is precisely this, to "obtain control of the aspirations of [one's] own being". The title "Dominus Liminis" is another reflection of this aspiration: it means "the threshold of the Lord", a reference to the fact that in the next grade, that aspiration will be turned to the attainment of Communion with the [[Holy Guardian Angel]].

''The Order of the R&there4;C&there4; (Rose-Cross)''

:'''Adeptus Minor''' (5°=6#): The Grade of Adeptus Minor is the main theme of the instructions of the A&there4; A&there4; It is characterised by the Attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. His work is to manifest the Beauty of the Order to the world, in the way that his superiors enjoin, and his genius dictates.

:'''Adeptus Major''' (6°=5#): His work is to use Magical Powers to support the authority of the Exempt Adept his superior. He achieves self-reliance, the proper use of Force, and the authority to govern the lower grades.

:'''Adeptus Exemptus''' (7°=4#): The Adept must prepare and publish a thesis setting forth His knowledge of the Universe, and his proposals for its welfare and progress. He will thus be known as the leader of a school of thought. He will have attained all but the supreme summits of meditation, and should be already prepared to perceive that the only possible course for him is to devote himself utterly to helping his fellow creatures.

:'''(Babe of the Abyss)'''—the link: The Grade of the Babe of the Abyss is not a Grade in the proper sense, being rather a passage between the two Orders. It is an annihilation of all the bonds that compose the self or constitute the Cosmos, a resolution of all complexities into their elements, and these thereby cease to manifest, since things are only knowable in respect of their relation to, and reaction on, other things.

''The Order of the S. S.''

:'''Magister Templi, or Master of the Temple''' (8°=3#): His principal business is to obtain a perfect understanding of the Universe. The essential Attainment is the perfect annihilation of that personality which limits and oppresses his true self. The Magister Templi is pre-eminently the Master of Mysticism, that is, His Understanding is entirely free from internal contradiction or external obscurity; His word is to comprehend the existing Universe in accordance with His own Mind.

:'''Magus''' (9°=2#): Attains to wisdom, declares his law and is a Master of all Magick in its greatest and highest sense. His will is entirely free from internal diversion or external opposition; His work is to create a new Universe in accordance with his Will.

:'''Ipsissimus''' (10°=1#): Beyond the comprehension of the lower degrees. An Ipsissimus is free from limitations and necessity and lives in perfect balance with Nature. Essentially, the highest mode of attainment.
