College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

Frater Superior of the OTO has today published a very substantial third paper and extensive appendices explaining the decision to implement a change to Liber CCXX.

As mentioned above by Phila111, much of Thelemapedia remains - enhanced and updated - at LAShTAL.COM as the Encyclopedia Thelemica.

"This articledetails my search for the Thelemic deity "Hadit"; that is the origin of the name, and how it came to be popularly (but falsely) understood to be on the Stele of Revealing."

Just for the benefit of other members of this excellent Forum, it's worth noting that you've done this one to death already on three Forum threads on LAShTAL.COM. I can do no better than refer readers to www.lashtal.com/nuke/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=26506#26506

"Welcome to the site Paul. I enjoy perusing lashtal.com very much and have been doing so for a little while now. Thanks for what you do - running that site. This site has a bit different of a focus "

Thanks kuniggety... A "different focus" indeed, but with a rather intriguing overlap...

Aum418,

This really isn't the place. Your anger at LAShTAL.COM has nothing to do with this rather excellent site.

Paul

"Paul, a belated welcome to this forum. It's an honor to have you here.

PS - I have no idea what the above controversy is about, but will pause to say that I've also never banned anyone because I disagreed with them - but have banned a very few people with whom I disagree for other reasons - primarily that they couldn't, or wouldn't, abide by a few minimal rules of respect."
The honour really is all mine. I admire and respect what you have achieved and written.

Regarding the comments of young Aum418, there really is no controversy. In the ten years of LAShTAL.COM's online existence I've had to ban only a dozen usernames or so; the fact that five of those usernames belonged to Aum418 probably tells you all you need to know!

Anyway, this isn't the place to boast about how long-suffering my little web site is. As I think I mentioned, I'm here to read, learn and maybe, on occasions, throw in an observation or two. And I promise to do my best to refrain from responding to the heckling of disgruntled ex-members of other sites!

"
And to ban those whom with you disagree?"

Thanks for the totally ambiguous welcome... And, just for clarification, I've never banned anyone from LAShTAL.COM just because I disagreed with them.

Not really the place for discussions like this, though, eh?

I encourage such courtesies (the posting of Introductions) from the new members of sites I manage, so it's only right that I demonstrate them here.

My mundane name is Paul Feazey and I'm the owner and editor of LAShTAL.COM which, among other things, is the home of The Aleister Crowley Society.

Declared myself to be a Thelemite when a precocious 13-year old but that was almost 32 years ago and I've learnt a lot since then - mostly I've learnt how much there is to learn. Still consider myself a Thelemite, although...

Not much more to declare here: I consider the five essential books to be the current edition of The Holy Books of Thelema, the big-blue-brick Magick, The Mystical and Magical System of the A .'. A .'., Kaczynski's Perdurabo and, of course, Crowley's Confessions. BUT... The most essential thing of all is to actually read the things. Study and self-discipline are such forgotten qualities amongst modern Thelemites, don't you think?

I'm here, by the way, to shut up and learn. 'Nuff said.
