Thelema Glossary Index


The following links lead to definitions or comments regarding certain terms or concepts found within Thelema. While the majority of the sources come from Crowley (online sources) it should be mentioned that while some people feel that CROWLEY=THELEMA (or the other way around) there are those who feel Crowley is marginal to what Thelema is. However, to find the roots of Thelema or its modern form, Crolwey's works are, in my opinion, the best place to start. I would encourage any Thelemite to comment on the posts as well as ask anyone interested or confused to post observations, comments, or criticisms. Lets make this a great Thelemic resource.

SACRED TEXTS

Class "A" consists of books of which may be changed not so much as the style of a letter: that is, they represent the utterance of an Adept entirely beyond the criticism of even the Visible Head of the Organization.

CLASS "A" PUBLICATIONS

LIBER I. - Liber B Vel Magi. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib1.html)

This is an account of the Grade of Magus, the highest grade which it is ever possible to manifest in any way whatever upon this plane. Or so it is said by the Masters of the Temple.

LIBER VII. - Liber Liberi Vel Lapidis Lazvli, Advmbratio Kabbalae Ægyptiorvm Svb Figvrâ VII. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib7.html), being the Voluntary Emancipation of a certain Exempt Adept from his Adeptship. These are the Birth Words of a Master of the Temple.

The nature of this book is sufficiently explained by its title. Its seven chapters are referred to the seven planets in the following order: Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Sol, Mercury, Luna, Venus.

LIBER X -Liber Porta Lucis. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib10.html)

This book is an account of the sending forth of the Master by the A.·. A.·. and an explanation of his mission.

LIBER XXVII. - Liber Trigrammaton, (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib27.html) being a book of Trigrams of the Mutations of the TAO with the YIN and the YANG.

An account of the cosmic process: corresponding to the stanzas of DZYAN in another system.

LIBER LXV. - Liber Cordis cincti serpente. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib65.html)

An account of the relations of the Aspirant with his Holy Guardian Angel. This book is given to Probationers, as the attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel is the Crown of the Outer College. Similarly Liber VII is given to Neophytes, as the grade of Master of the Temple is the next resting-place, and Liber CCXX to Zelator, since that carries him to the highest of all possible grades. Liber XXVII is given to the Practicus, as in this book is the ultimate foundation of the highest theoretical Qabalah, and Liber DCCCXIII to the Philosophus, as it is the foundation of the highest practical Qabalah.

LIBER LXVI. - Liber Stellae Rubeae. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib66.html) A secret ritual, the Heart of IAO- OAI, delivered unto V.V.V.V.V. for his use in a certain matter of Liber Legis, and written down under the figure LXVI.

This book is sufficiently described by the title.

LIBER XC. - Liber TZADDI Vel Hamus Hermeticus Sub Figurâ XC. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib90.html)

An account of Initiation, and an indication as to those who are suitable for the same.

LIBER CLVI. - Liber Cheth Vel Vallum Abiegni Sub Figurâ CLVI. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib156.html)

This book is a perfect account of the task of the Exempt Adept, considered under the symbols of a particular plane, not the intellectual.

LIBER CCXX (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/engccxx.html). - Liber L Vel Legis Sub Figurâ CCXX as delivered by LXXVIII unto DCLXVI. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/engccxx.html)

This book is the foundation of the New Æon, and thus of the whole of our Work.

LIBER CCXXXI. - Liber Arcanorum http://tim.maroney.org/CrowleyIntro/Images/ton.JPGATV http://tim.maroney.org/CrowleyIntro/Images/tou.jpg TAHVTI QUAS VIDIT ASAR IN AMENNTI Sub Figurâ CCXXXI Liber Carcerorum http://tim.maroney.org/CrowleyIntro/Images/ton.JPGQLIPHOTH cum suis Geniis. Adduntur Sigilla et Nomina Eorum. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib231.html)

This is an account of the cosmic process so far as it is indicated by the Tarot Trumps.

LIBER CCCLXX. - Liber A'ASH Vel Capricorni Pneumatici Sub Figurâ CCCLXX. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib370.html)

Contains the true secret of all practical magick.

LIBER CD. - Liber TAV Vel Kabbalae Trium Literarum Sub Figurâ CD. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib400.html)

A graphic interpretation of the Tarot on the plane of initiation.

LIBER DCCCXIII. - Vel Ararita Sub Figurâ DLXX. (http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib813.html)

This book is an account of the Hexagram and the method of reducing it to the Unity, and Beyond.
