Abbey of Thelema

The Abbey of Thelema was a commune founded by the occultist Aleister Crowley in the early 20th century in Sicily, Italy. Inspired by his philosophy of Thelema, which emphasizes individual will and self-discovery, the Abbey served as a space for followers to practice their beliefs and rituals. Crowley aimed to create an environment free from societal norms and restrictions, promoting personal spiritual exploration. The enduring legacy of the Abbey lies in its association with Crowley's controversial ideas and the broader modern occult movement, influencing various spiritual practices and communities today.
