The Tree of Life does not represent a single, cleanly definable system. It can be applied to the formation and existence of both the physical world and metaphysical worlds, as well as to one's own soul, state of being, or understanding. In addition, different schools of thought such as Kabbalistic Judaism and modern Western occultism, also offer different interpretations. Skinner, Stephen, ed. (1996).

James Eshelman states "Were we not otherwise informed, we might suspect that these initials refer to the Arcanum Arcanorum ('Secret of Secrets'), which is to be found within the Sanctum Sanctorum ('Holy of Holies'). In fact, the initials have a different meaning." [11] The Feast for Death, celebrated on the death of a Thelemite and on the anniversary of their death. Crowley's Death is celebrated on December 1.

Ancient alphabet used throughout North Europe and prominent in Scandinavia, used in modern times by various religious faiths, such as Asatru. Famous occultist and writer Aleister Crowley took these early findings and adopted it to his own system to find similarities with the Book of Revelation of the Bible. He was the one who gave the name Babalon to the strange woman riding the Beast of the Apocalypse and deemed it as an office that could be held by a living woman. Grant, Kenneth (1980).

D. Your Duty to All Other Beings and Things: States that the Law of Thelema should be applied to all problems and used to decide every ethical question. It is a violation of the Law of Thelema to use any animal or object for a purpose for which it is unfit, or to ruin things so that they are useless for their purpose. Natural resources can be used by man, but this should not be done wantonly, or the breach of the law will be avenged. Hadit has sometimes been said to represent a 'point-event,' and all individual point-events within the body of Nuit. [51] Hadit is said, in The Book of the Law, to be "perfect, being Not." [52] Additionally, it is written of Nuit in Liber AL that "men speak not of Thee [Nuit] as One but as None." [53]

Sir Francis Dashwood adopted some of the ideas of Rabelais and invoked the same rule in French, when he founded a group called the Monks of Medmenham (better known as the Hellfire Club). [12] An abbey was established at Medmenham, in a property which incorporated the ruins of a Cistercian abbey founded in 1201. The group was known as the Franciscans, not after Saint Francis of Assisi, but after its founder, Francis Dashwood, 11th Baron le Despencer. John Wilkes, George Dodington and other politicians were members. [12] There is little direct evidence of what Dashwood's Hellfire Club practiced or believed. [29] The one direct testimonial comes from John Wilkes, a member who never got into the chapter-room of the inner circle. [29] Thelema' is a rarely used word in Classical Greek. There are very few documents, the earliest being Antiphon the Sophist (5th century BCE). In antiquity it was beside the divine will which a man performs, just as much for the will of sexual desire. The intention of the individual was less understood as an overall, generalized, ontological place wherever it was arranged. [14] Crowley wrote several commentaries on The Book of the Law, the last of which he wrote in 1925. This brief statement called simply " The Comment" warns against discussing the book's contents, and states that all "questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal to my writings" and is signed Ankh-f-n-khonsu.
