Ialdabaoth- the demiurge
-
Does Thelema have any concept of the Gnostic demiurge? I seem to remember reading something somewhere about the demiurge being associated with Chesed and so Adeptus Exemptus, but I'm not sure where this was and haven't read it anywhere else.

The Chesed attribution is a Qabalistic interpretation in general, not a distinctly Thelemic one.
Thelema doesn't use this terminology or theory set directly, but Thelemic writers (including Crowley) often draw on the Demiurge idea to represent certain ideas pertaining to the Ruach etc. Demiurge-like figures appear, for instance, in The Vision & the Voice.
