Why is every member obligated not to obscure or downplay his or her A.’.A.’. membership from family, employer, etc.? Surely, as Thelemites, we have a right to make these decisions for ourselves. The lesson applies to all Thelemic aspirants, A.'.A.'. members or not! #thelema #aleistercrowley #occult

NEW BOOK OF ARCHAI REVIEW @lpd217.substack.com
