【↕️ ... ON THAT NOTE: I think a GOOD intro to #Thelema could include #Crowley 's #libri 𝘐𝘐 (The Message of the Master Therion), 𝘖𝘡, 𝘊𝘓 (De Lege Libellum), and 𝘋𝘊𝘊𝘊𝘟𝘟𝘟𝘝𝘐𝘐 (The Law of Liberty); as well as his essay "Duty". Also, Shoemaker's 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘢 and DuQuette's 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘭𝘦𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘺.】

Never underestimate AmeriKKKan stupidity, arrogance, fragility, emotional immaturity, and hypocrisy.

No offense meant, but this—your—Bluesky posts read like a mixture of actual quotes from Thelemic texts interspersed among what ChatGPT would claim are quotes from Thelemic texts when the A.I. is hallucinating, esp. based upon the idiosyncratic style of Thelemic texts. (Namely, Crowley's libri.)
