Thelemapedia:Projects

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.

• Glossary of Thelema
• Glossary of Magick
• Glossary of Astrology
• Glossary of Alchemy
• Glossary of Yoga
• Glossary of Tarot
• Glossary of Qabalah

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.)
