About the Founder
An initiate in both the O.T.O and A∴A∴ and with experience in the work of a few traditions, Frater Hiliel has been on the esoteric path for many years. Central to their calling is the service of humankind and the work they do tries to foster that calling, with this website being one iteration of that service. Their goal is to help bring humanity to a greater understanding of the mysteries while continuing to learn and grow with the community.
Thelema
Fundamentally, Thelema is a spiritual tradition that focuses on empowering the individual in pursuit of their highest potential. It is pan-spiritual in that it does not exclude other systems of belief. This means it is perfectly possible to be, say, a Christian Thelimite. Thelema incorporates a variety of practices to achieve the aim of individual enlightenment but its strongest influences include Qabbalah, Buddhism, and the teaching and practices of various mystery schools, such as the Golden Dawn.
