    Is the word Thelemite is preferred over Theleman? In BOTL on the front page of the original manuscript is a man with his arms wrapped over his body and the letters "i", "t" and "e" scribbled out. There is a man with his arm raised as if waving with an N next to him.

    It makes sense also of the part where it says there are three degrees to the word "Thelema". If you add an "n", you get:
    . The hermit (the (a)llay man)
    . The lover (the lay man) and
    . The man of the earth (the layman)

    Is it for gematria reasons?

    "Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong"

    I think that's plain enough. I have no clue where you see this picture of a man with his arms wrapped over his body.

    Oh, OK. I read it as "they are not correct, but it's OK...)

    I got the original manuscript from the a PDF of BOTL from the Holy Thelemic Church. Here's a screenshot.

    What does Thelewoman fit in to this scheme?

    I-T-E is a far more powerful ending than You or Me.
    There comes with it a sense of unity, moving forward.
    Where Man or Woman are an infinitely slow vibration to the point of almost no movement
    [EDIT: Relative to one another, that is. Beyond this I keep to my earlier comment :p]

    There is more I could say, but I feel it more fruitful for you to contemplate further on your own. 😄
