Looking for information on Thelema and Temple of Set

[Lord Draconova]

I used to consider myself a LaVeyian Satanist but then I came to realize that this system of beliefs no longer works for me & have been considering looking into Thelema & the Temple of Set. Aside from the ToS website and Uncle Setnak's (or however his name is spelled) books what can I read for a more detailed explanation of the Setian religion? As for Thelema; what books are good for a person who is new to Crowley's writings? Thanks.

What made you leave the LaVeyian type of thing? (I'm not part of it, just curious)

[Lord Draconova]

The atheistic ideology that drives it. An experience of mine directly disproved the notion that there isn't a such thing as supernatural entities (whatever you choose to call them). That and I see it more as a philosophy than as a religion.

You won't get disagreement from me that other beings exist in the universe.

I'm always happy to see somebody open their eyes.

Know anyone with orange-ish eyes bald head and an Asian looking dude with short-ish emo hair?

[Belial]

Well if you're new start with the book of law.


Stukov , those are just weather balloons , pay them no mind.

Well I had the sense they was associated with this thread, perhaps watching the OP. Was curious if they were like members of what he used to belong to.

For Crowley's writings I highly recommend Book 4, it has everything you could need in it. It has the Book of the Law, Magick in Theory and Practice -basically the theory of magick, and rituals, how to practice and the rituals themselves, and a part on meditation.
