Verse of the day

The order of the day
A suggested rhythm, not a rule. The hours of Resh follow the true motions of the Sun for your place; the rest is the aspirant's own to order. "Do that, and no other shall say nay."
Liber Resh vel Helios · sub figurâ CC

Adoration of the Sun

Four times daily the Thelemite salutes the Lord of Day in his stations, performing the Sign of the Enterer through the adoration and the Sign of Silence at its close. Times below are computed for the true solar positions at your location.

Showing illustrative times. Set your location for accurate solar stations.
These are the Sun’s true stations: Dawn = sunrise, Noon = the Sun on the meridian, Sunset, Midnight = the Sun at its nadir. Solar noon is usually not 12:00 — daylight saving and your longitude within the time zone shift it, often by an hour or more. Switch to clock hours if you keep Resh on the clock.
Feasts of the times · Liber AL III

The Thelemic Feasts

"There are rituals of the elements and feasts of the times." The Book of the Law ordains the feasts of the New Aeon — some upon fixed days, others kept upon the great passages of a life.

Counsel of the Aeon

Encouragement for hard hours, drawn from the words of the Law and the Master Therion — not to soften the path, but to remind you of its truth. Tap a theme. Each carries the framing of Thelemic first principles and the words of the source itself.

If you are in real distress or danger, these words are no substitute for the help of a trusted person or a professional. The strength of a Star includes knowing when to call upon another.

Orienting questions

The Great Questions

Otz Chiim · the Tree of Life of Liber 777

The Tree of Life

Ten Sephiroth and twenty-two paths compose the map of the Universe, crowned by the three Veils of the Negative. Tap a sphere to read its correspondences and light the paths that touch it; tap a path or a Veil for its own attributions. God-names are given in the King Scale, colours in the Queen Scale, after 777.

Select a sphere or path
The Sephiroth are the numbers of the Tree; the paths are the letters and Tarot Trumps that join them. Begin anywhere.
The ascent · the A∴A∴

The Path

The eleven grades of the A∴A∴ aligned upon the Sephiroth of the Tree of Life — from the profane world of Malkuth, through the central attainment of the Holy Guardian Angel at Tiphareth, across the Abyss, to union with the source in Kether. Tap a sphere for its oath, task, and work.

Select a grade
Begin in Malkuth with the Neophyte and ascend; the two crises are the Angel, at Tiphareth, and the Abyss, above it.
