A community-maintained tertiary reference on Thelema, directly examined. Its strength is three precise dates for the reception of The Book of the Law and a named published liturgy, the Gnostic Mass; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Thelema studies monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.

Notes
Wikipedia's article on Thelema, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for the reception of The Book of the Law in Cairo during Aleister Crowley's honeymoon with Rose Kelly, written in exactly one hour on each of April 8, 9 and 10, 1904, dictated according to Crowley to a non-corporeal entity named Aiwass; Crowley's 1913 writing of Liber XV, the Gnostic Mass, in Moscow, structured similarly to the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Mass and serving as the central rite of Ordo Templi Orientis's ecclesiastical arm; and Liber Resh, four daily adorations to the sun. Deliberately not used for any oathbound Ordo Templi Orientis or A A degree ritual, which stays undescribed here.
