The page consisted of quotes from two articles on the GNU FDL-licensed site Thelemapedia (30.6% original material, mostly headings and links, and 69.4% cited quotes, by word count). The pages included a copyright notice, but no immediately following GNU Free Documentation License notice, the rationale of the creator being that said quotes were used in ...

However, the true Tradition, seems to focus on individual spiritual progress through initiation into some sort of brotherhood, group rituals, study of philosophy and the cosmic laws and their practical application with the aims of alchemy, meditation, divination and ritual magic.

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Reptilian humanoid - The Reptilian Brain In 1970 neurologist Paul D. MacLean proposed that the human brain has three parts, each one of which grew on top of the other, over evolutionary time. This hypothesis can be simplified into two basic parts which constitute the lower "reptilian intelligence" and higher "mammalian intelligence"
One of the first stages in human brain development is the formation of the reptilian complex which includes the brain stem and cerebellum. The almond-shaped amygdala, is also called the "Reptilian Brain" because it is a common developmental stage ...

Quote from the article: "The atmosphere in the litigation debate is getting as poisonous as the atmosphere in, well, litigation itself. Eighty-two House members have now called on George Bushnell, Jr., president of the 370,000-lawyer American Bar Association, to resign after he described the Republican leadership of Congress as "those reptilian bast ...

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Gnosticism - Overview The complex nature of gnostic teaching and the fact that much of the material relating to the schools comprising Gnosticism has traditionally come from critiques by orthodox Christians make it difficult to be precise about early Christian gnostic systems. Irenaeus (Adversus Haereses) described several different schools of 2nd century gnosticism in disparaging and often sarcastic detail while contrasting them with Christianity to their detriment. Despite this modern discussion of gnosticism at first relied heavily on Irenaeus and other ...

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Wicca - Beliefs and practices There is some difficulty in describing beliefs and practices because of the fact that there is a great deal of diversity within the religion: between individuals and between traditions. It is commonly understood that most Wiccans worship two deities: the Goddess and the God (sometimes known as the Horned God). Some traditions, such as the Dianic Wiccans, mainly worship the Goddess. In those traditions, the God plays either no role, or a diminished role. Many Gardnerian Wiccans do not claim to be dualist. They may practice some form of polyth ...

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Wicca - Definition Gerald Gardner is credited with re-introducing the word 'Wicca' into the English language, although he himself used the spelling 'Wica' in his published work of 1954. The spelling 'Wicca' is now used almost exclusively, (Seax-Wica being the only major use of the four-letter spelling).
In Old English, wicca meant "A wizard, soothsayer, sorcerer, magician" (Bosworth, 1898 [1]). Its modern English descendant is the word witch, now used almost exclusively to describe women sorcerors, but formerly used for both sexes. Other ( ...

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Wicca - Morality Wiccan morality can be summarised in the form of a text that is commonly titled The Wiccan Rede. The core maxim of that text states "An it harm none, do what thou wilt." ("An" is an archaic word meaning "if".)
Many Wiccans promote the Law of Threefold Return. This is the idea that anything that one does will be returned to them threefold. In other words, good deeds are magnified in like forms back to the doer, and so are ill deeds. It can also be interpreted to mean that your deeds come back to you emotionally, spiritually, and physic ...

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Wicca - Discrimination and persecution of Wiccans edit
Since Wicca was first publically revealed in 1954, it has not had a long history of persecution. However, some Wiccans claim a historical link between Wicca and earlier religious and/or spiritual traditions, and thus may claim that witch trials are persecutions against their faith.[citation needed] There is no independently verifiable evidence for any sort of actual traditional lineage for Wicca that is older than the early 20th century. In light of that, individual and group claims of persecution ...

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Neopaganism - Usage of the term 'Neopagan' The term "Neopagan" is used by academics and adherents alike to denote those Pagan traditions which are largely modern in origin, or which are conceived as reconstructions of ancient practices.
Some critics claim that Neopagans cannot legitimately be considered practitioners of any "true" Pagan religion, citing that in the history of ideas it is understood that revivals are not identical to their models: e.g., Roman sculpture compared to the neoclassicism of, for example, Antonio Canova. Furthermore, a revival or reconstruction can on ...

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Neopaganism - Traditions A sect within Neopaganism is sometimes referred to as a "tradition," although this term is more properly used to define a sect within a particular Neopagan religion, such as Wicca, Hellenism, Ásatrú, Druidry, Dianics etc. There are many traditions within the larger world of Neopaganism, most of which are identified according to the pantheon they work with, or the founder of the tradition.
The main distinction between the branches is between reconstructionism, the attempt to base a modern approach to paganism on a particular h ...

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Neopaganism - Pantheon Most Neopagan traditions are polytheistic, but the interpretation of the concept of deity may vary widely, including pantheistic, deist, henotheistic, psychological and mystical interpretations.
In Wicca, the concept of an Earth or Mother Goddess similar to Greek Gaia is emphasized, but male counterparts are also evoked, like the Green Man and the Horned God, loosely based on Celtic Cernunnos.

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Neopaganism - Historical sources Many Neopagans and Neopagan traditions attempt to incorporate historical religions and mythologies into their beliefs and practices, often emphasizing the hoary age of their sources; thus, Wicca in particular is sometimes referred to by its proponents as the "Old Religion", a term popularised by Margaret Murray in the 1920s, while Germanic Neopaganism is referred to as Forn Sed, "the Old Way". Such emphasis on the antiquity of religious tradition is not particular to Neopaganism, and is found in many other religions, compare for examp ...

Most Neopagan religions celebrate the cycles and seasons of nature through a festival calendar that honors these changes. The festival calendar can change from climate to climate, and can also depend upon one's religious path of choice.

It is necessary to define clearly who is included in any estimate, as Neopagan could mean active initiates, or anyone who likes Tarot! Also there is a difference between Western (Neo) Paganism, (technically a New Religious Movement), and worldwide traditional Neopagan faiths. It is possible, however, to consider these varied and diverse indigenous religions, generically referred to as "pagan" by monotheistic faiths, as having enough in common to warrant grouping them together as a single religious movement.

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Gnosticism - Background and origins of gnosticism The ultimate foundational elements of gnosticism are pre-Christian. That said, the exact origins of Gnosticism are a subject of dispute amongst scholars: some think Gnosticism is fundamentally pagan in origin, but has adopted a Christian veneer; others trace its origin to Judaism; yet others think it derives from Jesus, and is a development of his teaching that is arguably as valid as the orthodox one. Others still regard Gnosticism as a religious tradition in itself, the manifestation in related "systems" of a perennial philosophy of ...

| | | | | Ordo Templi Orientis: Encyclopedia II - Gnosticism - Etymology The word gnosticism comes from the Greek word for knowledge, gnosis (γνώσις), referring to the idea that there is special esoteric knowledge, a key to transcendent understanding, that only a few may possess. Since this is one of the few common defining characteristics of systems typically referred to as 'gnostic', it is an ideal blanket term.
Gnosis refers to knowledge of the second kind; therefore, the movements referred to as "gnostic" should be understood as being reliant not on knowledge in a general sense, but ...
