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...

True Will Some Ill-Advised Thoughts on the Matter
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The concept of the so-called True Will can be a tricky little beast. It’s thrown around by...
Yuletide Between Brethren Tis the Season!
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Yes, I know this is a day early (and there won’t be one tomorrow because of it), but I wanted to put this out on Yule. Because … reasons. I was originally going to write something deep and wordy for this Yuletide...
The Three Rivers of Thelema A Contemplative Refuge
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. My original release for this week isn’t finished, and I’m not happy with its progress. So, I decided to pull something from the archives, give it a quick spitshine, and throw it out here to fill in the gap. It’s from...

New Wine in Old Skins The Conundrum of Tradition and Innovation
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Part of the challenge with writing about Applied Thelema is the occult is rife with escapism. Even Thelema. Occultists want magical cosplay, spooks under the bed, shoulder goblins, and expensive shelf displays in faux...
Raise herself in pride! Thoughts on the Scarlet Woman
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The subject of the Scarlet Woman comes up enough to warrant its own discussion to get at the heart of the matter from a theological perspective. Much rubbish has...
