Thelema and Freemasonry

Thelema is a spiritual philosophy founded by Aleister Crowley emphasizing individual will, personal freedom, and the pursuit of one’s true purpose. It advocates for self-discovery and divine will through spiritual practices. Freemasonry is a fraternal organization rooted in medieval stonemason guilds, focusing on moral development, brotherhood, and ethical living. Both traditions value personal growth, symbolism, and esoteric knowledge, but Thelema is primarily a spiritual path with a focus on individual will, while Freemasonry emphasizes moral virtues and community responsibility through allegorical rituals.
