Two important personages in Thelema are the 'Beast' and the 'Scarlet Woman' (or Babalon), and they are both straight out of Revelations, and are definitely identified there with Satan. I've never seen a convincing explanation of this from those Thelemites who claim that Thelema has nothing to do with Satanism. Oh well, get out your quill pen! :-) 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Bobby Meizer Area: Thelema To: Grendel 10 May 92 11:08:18 Subject: RE: OTO or other Thelemic groups in the Seattle areaUpdReq Someone from Toronto already gave you two addresses, but the latest Link also lists Horizon Oasis at P.O.
