Thelema (Greek for "will") is named in The Book of the Law itself as the Word of the Law, held in direct contradistinction to Abrahadabra, which this atlas also covers and which the same text names the Word of the Aeon. The pairing of the two words within Thelemic scripture makes this a genuinely paired formula rather than an invented second entry: Abrahadabra names the era, Thelema names the governing principle of conduct within it, and this entry is deliberately named in full to keep it visibly distinct from the Thelema religion page of the same bare word.
