Building the Island Sustainability in an Era of Instability
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The world has been “ending” in people’s imaginations for as long as we’ve had imaginations, which is both comforting and annoying. The comforting part is that history is not a single fragile crystal goblet; it’s more...

Alethiology, Part 2 Utilizing a Thelemic Therapeutic Orientation
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. In Alethiology, Part 1, I laid the foundation for what I believe is the beginning framework for a potential theoretical orientation in mental health grounded in the Law of Thelema. Along with the underlying Thelemic...
The Cracked Mirror A Thelemic Reckoning with the Therapeutic Age
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The clinic has become a stage. Not the one with velvet curtains and orchestral swells—but the low-lit kind, where scripts are repetitive, feelings are monetized, and performance is mistaken for transformation. Trauma...
Swift as a trodden serpent In Response to Fascism
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I’ve written about my thoughts on fascism and Thelema in the past. It should be no shock to anyone that I fall squarely against any form of authoritarianism in our communities at all. A New Manifesto No one is neutral...
Love in the Time of Will Spiritual Development, Discipleship, and the Future of Thelema
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I’ve spent enough time being on the offensive against what I consider to be the termites in the framework of modern Thelema. It’s time to shift gears and begin to lay down a mature vision of Thelema that is both...
Realigning the Aeons, Part I An Integral Approach to Aeonic Theory
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The aeons are something many Thelemites take for granted without realizing just how unstable the foundation of our doctrine of the aeons really is throughout Crowley’s writings. He mentions them now and again, makes a...
The Institutes of Kingship Foundations in the Principles of Life
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I’m probably ahead of myself here because I haven’t released anything for you on Unified Kingdom Theology yet—I’m still working on that essay and find that it’s a bit more complicated than I originally thought to ensure...
Liturgy of the Sun A Celebration of the Company of Heaven
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I’ve always felt a deep pull toward the beauty and gravity of Eastern Orthodox liturgy, just as I’m moved by the raw simplicity of Quaker unprogrammed worship. And I’ve always loved the way food becomes sacred in...
In Defense of a Rule of Life A Thelemic Fidēs as Action
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. As a Thelemite, I can tell you that I am not all fond of rules. In fact, I dare say if you ask ten Thelemites if they like rules, you’ll get thirteen “hell, no’s” in response. Of course, the irony is that if you ask...
A Way of Spiritual Formation Maturity in the Aeon of the Child
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. If there is one thing that continues to plague my thinking about modern Thelema, it is something a mentor of mine once said—and I’m paraphrasing here—that just because Crowley was a magician doesn’t mean that everyone...

Thelema and Fascism An Open Letter to Those Who Fail to See

On the Nature of Death A Contemplative Letter to a Friend
I pulled a letter out of my archives and decided to share it with you this week. It was written in 2020, around the second anniversary of my dad’s death. I was in the middle of a summerlong experiment of “writing real (snail mail) letters” on various formal topics to...
Challenges of a Trans-Tunisian Foundation The Tunis Comment Reexamined
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. “But, but, but ... The Comment!,” you say to me. And, in some kind of faux-shock, I offer a sarcastic “Right?” in return. How many times have we...
Reading Plans for 2025 Diving Deeper into the Spiritual Mind
