Unraveling the Magical Year of Thelema
“Despite Aleister Crowley’s popularity, few have an understanding of the Thelemic Holy Days of the year spelled out in the central, sacred holy text the Book of the Law. Many people are familiar with the Wiccan wheel of the year, but have not heard of the yearly cycle of holy days in Thelema. This is unfortunate, because the holy days throughout the Thelemic year are rich with symbolism, meaning, and a joyous embrace of the natural cycles that are a part of us. You do not have to be Thelemite to find meaning and value in Thelemic traditions, rituals, and practices. From Equinoxes and Solstices to celebrations of birth and death, this talk explores Thelema throughout the year and offers a unique door into the magick, history, and living tradition of Thelema. Participants will learn practical tools and information to make yearly observances and Thelemic magick a meaningful part of their journey.
