Dear All,

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

The religion known as Thelema was established with the writing of The Book of the Law. This year we celebrate the 117th anniversary of the writing of The Book of the Law, received by Aleister Crowley, with his wife Rose as the medium. Crowley claims that the author was an entity named Aiwass, whom he later identified as his own Holy Guardian Angel. The book contains three chapters, each of which were transcribed in an hour, beginning at noon, on April 8th, 9th, & 10th, in Cairo, Egypt, in the year 1904.

The teachings within this small book are clearly expressed in the Law of Thelema, expressed by these two phrases:
• “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)

Interpretation of this book is considered a matter for the individual, and openly promoting personal ideas about its meaning is strongly discouraged. Although, Crowley expressed the desire to see the Law of Thelema promulgated in all areas of society, success in this endeavor is to be based on others willfully following the good example of Thelemites rather than by evangelization or direct attempts to convert others. “Success is thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not over much!” (AL III:42)

The official holy days of Thelema are set forth in The Book of the Law, Chapter II, v. 36-41 and include the Feast for the Three Days of the Writing of the Book of the Law. Come celebrate with us and join Scarlet Woman Lodge’s community reading of the Book of the Law each day of the Three Days (April 8, 9th, & 10th) at 12pm CST. We will be reading a chapter a day! All are welcome to participate in reading and just listening. Please try to be online by 11:55am so we can start promptly at noon.

Time: Apr 8th, 9th, & 10th, 2021 12:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
