	===~~[[Thelema]]~~===		=== Calendar ===

	~~'''Thelema''', Θελημα in Greek, means ''will''.~~		==== Days and Dates ====

	~~=====A brief summary~~ of ~~Thelema=====~~		Dates and times are recorded using the typical notation of [[Astrology]], indicating the positions of the [[Sun]] and [[Moon]] in the [[tropical zodiac]]. The day of the week is recorded in Latin.

	'''Thelema''' is the name of the philosophical school and religious matrix established in 1904 with the writing of [[Liber AL vel Legis]] ([[The Book of the Law]]) by [[Aleister Crowley]] (1875-1947). The Law is summed up in two phrases from the Book:		===== Precision =====
	*“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law” (AL I:40) and
	*“Love is the law, love under will” (AL I:57).
	The central goal of a Thelemite (as adherents refer to themselves) is to discover and perform his or her [[True Will]], which is generally defined as the innermost Nature or proper life course of the individual. The techniques used to achieve this goal fall under the heading of [[Magick]].

	~~There~~ are ~~also strong political, ethical, aesthetic~~, and ~~cultural aspects~~ to ~~Thelema~~. ~~Although there is no strict literal doctrine concerning these matters, Aleister Crowley wrote many articles~~ and ~~essays regarding his ideas~~ about the ~~proper behavior of individual Thelemites and for an ideal Thelemic society. These ideas have continued~~ to ~~develop into modern times~~. ~~However~~, the ~~primary themes involve personal freedom~~, ~~a recognition that men and women have an inherent divine nature~~, and ~~that Love is~~ the ~~basis~~ of the [[~~Great Work~~]].		The more precisely the solar and lunar positions are noted, the more precisely the date and time will be known. The [[Moon]] takes about 2.3 days to move through a [[zodiac\|zodiacal sign]]. Simply recording the signs that the [[Sun]] and [[Moon]] are in will therefore only describe a period of slightly more than two standard days. Recording the day of the week eliminates the possibility of uncertainty about the day referred to. In addition, more precision can be had by indicating the degrees, minutes, and seconds of the position of the [[Sun]] and [[Moon]].

	*See the article on [[Religion]] for an examination of the "religiosity" of Thelema.		===== Symbolism =====

	'''[[~~Thelema~~\|Read more...]]'''		The planetary assignment of days of the week and the tracking of the sun and moon through the zodiac all tap into a great wealth of symbolism. Events may be scheduled according to their symbolic relevance: for example, the installation of a lodgemaster on ''Dies Jovii'' (the day of Jupiter).

			===== Examples =====

			The following are examples of accepted ways to record the same Thelemic date, beginning with the most precise.

			*Sol 22°13'5" Taurus, Luna 29°6'19" Pisces, ''dies Saturnii''
			*Sol 22°13' Taurus, Luna 29°6' Pisces, ''dies Saturnii''
			*Sol 22° Taurus, Luna 29° Pisces, ''dies Saturnii''
			*Sol in Taurus, Luna in Pisces, ''dies Saturnii''
			*Sol in Taurus, Luna in Pisces

	~~===[[Aleister Crowley]]===~~

	'''Aleister Crowley''' (Oct. 12, 1876-Dec. 1, 1947) — however one judges him — was a fascinating man who lived an amazing life. He is best known as being an infamous [[occult]]ist and the scribe of [[The Book of the Law]], which introduced [[Thelema]] to the world. Crowley was an influential member in several occult organizations, including the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn\|Golden Dawn]], the [[A.'.A.'.]], and [[Ordo Templi Orientis]]. He was a prolific writer and poet, a world traveler, mountaineer, chess master, artist, yogi, social provocateur, drug addict and sexual libertine. The press loved to demonize him and dubbed Crowley “The wickedest man in the world.”		===[[Thelema]]===

	~~=====A brief summary of major events=====~~		'''Thelema''', Θελημα in Greek, means ''will''.

	~~'''Edward Alexander Crowley''' was born in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire on October 12, 1875. His parents were members~~ of the [[Plymouth Brethren]], an extremely devout Christian sect. It was in this Christian childhood that he came to refer to himself as The Beast [[666]]. He was also fortunate to be heir to a small brewing fortune, which he largely used for travel and publishing his works over his lifetime.		=====A brief summary of Thelema=====

	~~He entered Trinity College at Cambridge in 1895, and left just before finishing his degree. He was initiated into~~ the ~~Hermetic Order~~ of the ~~Golden Dawn~~ in ~~1898.~~ The ~~next year he purchased~~ [[~~Boleskine\|Boleskine House~~]] ~~at Loch Ness~~ in ~~order~~ to perform the ~~ritual known as~~ the [[~~Abramelin\|Abra-Melin Operation~~]].		'''Thelema''' is the name of the philosophical school and religious matrix established in 1904 with the writing of [[Liber AL vel Legis]] ([[The Book of the Law]]) by [[Aleister Crowley]] (1875-1947). The Law is summed up in two phrases from the Book:
			*“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law” (AL I:40) and
			*“Love is the law, love under will” (AL I:57).
			The central goal of a Thelemite (as adherents refer to themselves) is to discover and perform his or her [[True Will]], which is generally defined as the innermost Nature or proper life course of the individual. The techniques used to achieve this goal fall under the heading of [[Magick]].

	~~In 1900~~ Crowley ~~travels~~ to ~~Mexico where he~~ is ~~initiated as a 33°~~ [[~~Freemasonry\|Mason~~]].		There are also strong political, ethical, aesthetic, and cultural aspects to Thelema. Although there is no strict literal doctrine concerning these matters, Aleister Crowley wrote many articles and essays regarding his ideas about the proper behavior of individual Thelemites and for an ideal Thelemic society. These ideas have continued to develop into modern times. However, the primary themes involve personal freedom, a recognition that men and women have an inherent divine nature, and that Love is the basis of the [[Great Work]].

	~~In 1902 he begins~~ the ~~practice of~~ [[~~yoga~~]] ~~in Caylon with [[Allan Bennett]],~~ an ~~associate from the Golden Dawn. He returns to Boleskine in 1903 and marries [[Edith Rose Kelly]], the sister~~ of the ~~painter, Sir Gerald Kelly. On their honeymoon, they visit Cairo, Egypt in 1904. It is here that he comes to write [[The Book~~ of ~~the Law]] on April 8, 9, and 10~~.		*See the article on [[Religion]] for an examination of the "religiosity" of Thelema.
