Thelema

Thelema er en vestlig esoterisk og okkult social og spirituel filosofi, og en nyreligiøs bevægelse ^(sv). Den blev grundlagt i begyndelsen af ​​1900-tallet af Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), en engelsk forfatter, mystiker, okkultist og ceremoniel magiker. Centralt for Thelema er konceptet om at opdage og følge sin sande vilje, et guddommeligt og individuelt formål, der overskrider almindelige ønsker.
