I think that Wilson took a lot of inspiration from both Crowley and Thelema.
 At least he seemed to quote Crowley fairly frequently. ;)

 I agree that Wilson painted with a very rich and diverse pallete and it would probably be unfair to pigeonhole him in *any* way.

 Just trying to connect the dots in this thread, you know?

He described himself as a "model agnostic" and Thelema was just one of the many schools/tools that he used to express/explain his ideas. If you have to categorise him then Discordian would do but "follower of Thelema" misses the mark by quite a way.

I just figured that there were some folks on the list that didn't know about the "black magical" side of Hubbard.
He's been stealing money from important people for a loooooong time.  

Usually any time Crowley gets brought up on this list it's the usual "did he *really* eat babies and drink cat's blood?" nonsense, and I figured that we could use that bit of vilification aimed elsewhere for a change. ;)

   " Hubbard and. RAW don't belong in the same sentence! "
 
  Au Contraire!
 Both were followers of Crowley's philosophy of Thelema.
 
  Hubbard was even a member of the Ordo Templi Orientis for awhile. 
 
 Google "Hubbard + O.T.O." for a laugh.
 
  Don't forget to read between the "Black Magick" bullshit lines. ;)
