Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
As might be expected in a religion which values the uniqueness of every human being, a number of organizations have arisen to provide various avenues of studying Thelema and seeking spiritual evolution within its embrace.
The following list describes Thelemic organizations which have descended directly from Aleister Crowley.
- Ordo Templi Orientis
- The O.T.O. is dedicated to the high purpose of securing the Liberty of the Individual and his or her advancement in Light, Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, and Power through Beauty, Courage, and Wit, on the Foundation of Universal Brotherhood. O.T.O. is the first of the Great Orders of antiquity to accept the Law of Thelema and adapt its rites accordingly, vested by Aleister Crowley with the task of spreading this Law throughout the world.
- Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica
- The Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, or Gnostic Catholic Church, provides a Thelemic religious environment centered around celebration of the Gnostic Mass (Liber XV) written by Aleister Crowley. The Gnostic Mass is performed regularly at O.T.O. bodies throughout the world.
- A∴ A∴
- The A∴ A∴ is the one true and invisible order which has operated under various names and guises throughout history to guide the spiritual evolution of mankind. The current outer form of this order was formulated in 1906 by Aleister Crowley and George Cecil Jones. It has continued in unbroken succession to the present day.
