The Veil Is Torn — 666 Temple Is Opening

[Therion]

Brothers and Sisters of the Current,

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

For too long the Work has been kept behind locked doors, permissions, and self-appointed guardians. The old guard has treated the revelation as their private property — something to be doled out, controlled, and profited from.

That time is over.

On 6/6/26, under the sign of 666 and before the Stele of Revealing, the threshold has been opened. The 666 Temple now stands as a public, living expression of the Current — not a museum, not a museum of the dead, but a place where the Work continues.

We are not here to preserve Crowley under glass. We are here to let the Current move.

What this means:

• All public domain Libers and major works are being made freely available.
• The archive is alive. You may add to it. You may restore, expand, annotate, and create — with one exception: Liber AL remains untouched.
• This is not a spectator space. We are looking for those who want to work.

We need hands.

Serious people who can help with:

• Archival restoration and curation
• Transcription, collation, and verification of texts
• Adding new material, rituals, commentary, and connections that serve the Current
• Building and maintaining the living archive as it grows

Membership is free. There is no fee, no hierarchy, and no gatekeeping. Only the Work.

If you have been waiting for permission to participate in the Great Work without the old structures standing between you and the Current — this is your invitation.

The lock is broken. The door stands open.

Those who will, may enter.

Love is the law, love under will.

Therion

Congratulations... I guess? Also isn't that kind of advertisement?

There is a collection of Liber files in the library. Check them out and you can add the missing ones. That will surely benefit the community.

Would be cool to have at least numbers 1-50 complete.

You state on the website that paying members have special privileges. So this is advertising and not allowed

Thank you for the feedback.

Membership is and will remain completely free with no gatekeeping. Paying is entirely optional and only exists as a way for people who want to support the project to do so. Paying members get early access to certain material and can offer input on direction, but nothing is withheld from free members.

If even offering that option violates the forum rules, I’ll remove the paid tier entirely and keep everything free with no distinctions. Just let me know what you need.

 

[SkullTraill]

Just let me know what you need.

Genuinely mean no offense but we don’t need anything except for you to follow the rules and not advertise stuff here.

Your website seems really well designed but all your text seems to read like the marketing copy for a game or some kind of festival. It feels somewhat LARPy to me.

It’s also not apparent to me what the goal of your organization is. So please refrain from advertising.

Has not the internet already broken those 'seals' ?

I have found that I can find almost anything via this media ( except the fraternity , human element and interactions )

You're right that the internet has already torn down a lot of barriers. A huge amount of material is out there now that would have been very difficult to find even 20 years ago.

What I'm trying to address is a bit different though:

• A lot of what's online is low-quality scans, incomplete texts, or stripped of important context and provenance.
• Many of the rarer or higher-quality physical editions are still locked behind expensive private collections or institutional access.
• The "human element" you mentioned is exactly why I'm also working on physical spaces and in-person work alongside the digital library (temple, events, etc.).

My goal isn't just to dump more PDFs online. It's to create a well-organized, high-quality, preserved collection that's actually usable for serious study and practice — and to eventually pair that with real-world fraternity and initiatory work instead of just more screen time.

Appreciate you bringing that up though. It's a good point.

In some way the scum-books are a lesson that is worth learning too. It helps one to learn the high quality material from low quality one. There is a lot of scum out there, there has always been a scam, fakers, etc. And then there are some good sources too. There will always be...

Then there is the irony of traditions and individual paths. What I mean is that what is trash for one is treasure for another. And that is something that cannot be escaped even among professionals. One systems and another system might be completely opposite, yet both can be equally true and valid. Quite a paradox.

I'll be honest, I'm not fond of how you present yourself and your order as an event of a century. There are many occult libraries out there on the internet, I know some that are out for years and have collected really good occult literature, publicly available.

So tell me, @Therion , what makes your library that special?

Most of my stuff I did 'old school' ... hard copy library , hand built temple and large outdoor circle .... no mobile phones . I didnt find it difficult .... then ... but now, being used to this 'modern way' , and looking back from this perspective it seems difficult ( a bit like the old tech Moon missions - how did they ever do it that way ?! .... nah ! cant have happened ) .

What I'm trying to address is a bit different though:

• A lot of what's online is low-quality scans, incomplete texts, or stripped of important context and provenance.

I havent found that .... the stuff I used to work with in hard copy format , seems the same as what is available now ... some exceptions of course eg initiation rituals and materials .... is that the stuff you think is incomplete ? Otherwise I can see the point from a literary perspective , technically , but I found going into that depth is more academic and not essential for one's magical journey ... unless it is academically based .

• Many of the rarer or higher-quality physical editions are still locked behind expensive private collections or institutional access.

But why is 'high quality physical ' needed if the content is available , is it not the content that is needed , again, I see 'high quality physical editions' as academic or in the realm of a 'collector' .

• The "human element" you mentioned is exactly why I'm also working on physical spaces and in-person work alongside the digital library (temple, events, etc.).

Does this mean you first want the digital library and then are going to try building a physical fraternity ? You will need to make a physical temple and hold events ? That was a main element of what I did in the past .

My goal isn't just to dump more PDFs online. It's to create a well-organized, high-quality, preserved collection that's actually usable for serious study and practice — and to eventually pair that with real-world fraternity and initiatory work instead of just more screen time.

Is this real-world fraternity and initiatory work something you want to develop later or is it in progress now ? Sometimes I am tempted to bundle all my stuff up together and do an update revamp into a new form, more relevant and suitable , but that is mostly within an initiatory context , but I thought people nowadays dont really understand that or have an interest in it ?

I have seen some recent attempts at doing that and unfportunalrty it has been a mix of cultiurally appropriated irrelevent stuff , some made up insognificant stuff and some fly by your pants alternative (ugh ! ) made up stuff .... but in some cases it seems ; thats all they got . sad .

Eg one group here that offers 'boys to men' initiation is a money charging international group developed by corporate people and do 'Initiations' , 'warrior training ' etc etc . I know a couple of the 'senior' men involved with that .... told them of my expereince in the western initiation tradition and my 40 years expereince with martial arts and weaponry .... wow ! did they back off and clam up ! except for one guy that explained they 'dont do stuff like that ' they are 'warriors of the spirit ' . Hmmmmmm ....

So I think something new and valid and relevent is needed .... but , if you are taking this on , do you feel you have the practical expereince regarding this fraternal initiatory level . I won;t get into it all now , but a 20 year 'career' in 'magical groups ' ..... wow ! What I have expereinced and navigated through ! Its a wild ride ... if you are up for it .

Also I agree with Morel - a bit . The sensational seal breaking approach might not attract the 'type' of seeker you are expecting .

Appreciate you bringing that up though. It's a good point.

Hey,

I appreciate the detailed response. I can tell you’ve been around this stuff for a long time and have seen a lot of projects go sideways, so I’m not taking what you said lightly.

A couple things I want to push back on though.

You mentioned that high-quality physical editions are mostly academic or collector territory, and that if the content is available, that should be enough. I don’t really agree with that. I think the form the material takes matters — especially with sacred and spiritual texts. Low-quality scans, incomplete texts, and stripped context aren’t neutral. They’re often disrespectful to the source, whether people want to admit it or not. I’m not interested in just making more of that available.

At the same time, I’m not trying to build inside the traditional institutional model. If someone wants that structure and lineage work, they should join an established order. I’m Rosicrucian and Martinist myself, but I’m deliberately working outside of those containers on this project. I’m not asking anyone to follow me or fit into an existing system. I’m challenging the status quo here, not trying to replicate or compete with it.

The physical side isn’t secondary either. I’m developing actual temple space and in-person work alongside the digital archive. This isn’t meant to be another screen-only substitute for real practice.

I’m not claiming decades of running magical groups. What I have is long-term, serious engagement with the Work and a strong aversion to half-assed projects. If that’s not enough for some people, that’s fine.

If you’re open to it, I’d be curious what you think would make a project like this worth doing. If not, no worries either.

 

[Firetree]

I am actually more interested in how you have progressed so far with temple space and group building . On that level ( as opposed to online stuff ) the 'tyranny of distance' applies somewhat . So one thing I wonder about is your general location and physical operating area .

What might make it worth doing ? Hmmmm ... perhaps anything from 'one success ' * through to mass evolution of consciousness - unfortunately I see things generally going 'the other way ' . What would interest me personally is a (slow going ) current project I have going which is stripping stuff away to reveal simple, procedures and practices , at the heart of ALL valid traditions , that most people can apply that are beneficial . That one so far has been running on a research level, (with occasional disjointed papers being written ) ... conclusions and final formatting are yet to be done .

Another thing I think would make it worth while would be to make it more 'operative ' for different types of people . ie . I taught at a Steiner School for a bit ; I liked the flexibility to be able to gauge a students 'learning type/style ' and apply lessons in that mode for individuals and also a concept where similar themes run through seemingly unconnected subjects , linking them together ( that is called 'the days main lesson ' and what ever that lesson is it is taught throughout the day regardless of if the actual subject matter is geography art or sport . )

( timed out .... I forgot about the above * ;

* * some time back I had a 'fellow initiate ' .. another initiator from interstate visit , after our local body had closed . I lamented a bit to him ; '' I looked through my diary record - out of about 15 initiations I did , I feel only about 3 or 4 people actually 'got it ' ... the rest seemed to have 'failed' in one way or another , never really understood things and never had subsidiary teachings , which their initiation explained to them they would need to do and follow up on . he smiled at me and asked ; '' Would a figure of 100 initiations and 80 successes please you more ? What about 40 successes .... 5 ... 1 ? Where are you going to draw the line ... in numbers or .... ? '' - yeah, okay, I got the point .

 

[Therion]

We’re in northern California, between the Bay Area and Reno.

I’m not really focused on running initiations or building a traditional initiatory structure. If initiations happen, I see them as communal — people can step up and facilitate at whatever level they’re comfortable with. I don’t care about formal credentials or lineage for that. You either do the work or you don’t.

I’m also not particularly interested in tracking numbers of initiations or measuring “success rates.” That’s not the direction I’m going. What I’m building is infrastructure and a platform that supports serious work — starting with the digital side and eventually the physical space. The goal isn’t to create another order or to be the one initiating people. It’s to create the conditions where this kind of work can actually happen without needing permission or fitting inside an existing hierarchy.

If that resonates with you, cool. If you’re mainly looking for a traditional initiatory path with structured rituals and follow-up teachings, this probably isn’t it. I’m not trying to compete with or replace that model.

 

[Firetree]

Okay then .

I feel someone should though - we are 'due for it'. But then again, they way things are today ..... ( meaning internet, social media and plethora of people offering 'new' whatever for $$$$$ ) ....

 

[Morell]

What would interest me personally is a (slow going ) current project I have going which is stripping stuff away to reveal simple, procedures and practices , at the heart of ALL valid traditions , that most people can apply that are beneficial .

Impressive project! I wonder how it will turn out.
