| abstract | - There are many deities that appear in the religion, however the main three known are from ancient Egyptian polytheism. These three are Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
- The Thelemic pantheon includes a number of deities focusing primarily on a trinity of deities adapted from ancient Egyptian religion, who are the three speakers of The Book of the Law: Nuit, Hadit and Ra-Hoor-Khuit. The religion is founded upon the idea that the 20th century marked the beginning of the Aeon of Horus, in which a new ethical code would be followed; "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law". This statement indicates that adherents, who are known as Thelemites, should seek out and follow their own true path in life, known as their True Will rather than their egoic desires. The philosophy also emphasizes the ritual practice of Magick. The word "Thelema" itself is the English transliteration of the Koine Greek noun θέλημα: "will", from the verb θέλω: to will, wish, purpose. In the New Testament as well as the works of Plato, Thelema includes the ideas of will, choice, inclination, desire, including sexual desire, and pleasure. As Crowley developed the religion he wrote widely on the topic, producing what are collectively termed the Holy Books of Thelema. He also included ideas from occultism, Yoga and both Eastern and Western mysticism, especially the Qabalah.

The word is the English transliteration of the Koine Greek noun θέλημα: "will", from the verb θέλω: to will, wish, purpose. Aleister Crowley developed the belief system of Thelema following a strange series of experiences in 1904. He claimed to have arrived at the central credo of his religion primarily via a non-corporeal being, Aiwass, which dictated Book of the Law to him during this time, although he acknowledged that earlier writers had influenced his system. This book contains both the phrase "Do what thou wilt" and the word Thelema in Greek, which Crowley took for the name of the philosophical, mystical and religious system which he subsequently developed. This system includes ideas from occultism, Yoga, and both Eastern and Western mysticism (especially the Qabalah). The Book of the Law formed part of the official syllabus of the A∴A∴, a magical order led by Crowley. Crowley referred to Thelema as the Word of the Law. He believed it formed the spiritual principle for a new aeon of humanity. Despite the frequent assumption that "Do what thou Wilt" is solely an exhortation to hedonism or licentiousness, Thelema as it was formulated by Crowley is a path of spiritual development based on seeking and putting into practice one's True Will, or destiny, the soul's Will rather than the ego's desires. People have interpreted and applied Crowley’s work in widely different ways, sometimes leading to harsh disagreements.

De acordo com a filosofia thelêmica, o ser humano está afastado de sua condição divina não pela encarnação, conforme pregava, por exemplo, o gnosticismo, e sim pela simples não-conscientização desta natureza. Essa falta de consciência seria mantida por uma série de fatores, dentre os quais podem-se citar o conceito de pecado (enquanto restrição artificial dos impulsos naturais), o egocentrismmo e a entrega à vontade alheia ou aos vícios -- que no conceito thelêmico referem-se a qualquer atitude que controle a vontade ao invés de ser controlada por ela. Assim, cabia ao ser humano buscar uma profunda auto-consciência, chegando assim ao conhecimento do que foi chamado de Verdadeira Vontade (Thelema, do grego vontade), o objetivo primal da encarnação de um espírito individual.
