Enflaming Oneself in Prayer: Guide to Thelemic Prayer

In this presentation I explore the topic of prayer in Thelema. It's a topic I frequently get asked about, but the answer isn't so simple. Join me as I talk about what "prayer" means in the Thelemic context as well as the history and importance of it. Spoilers: Prayer in Thelema isn't Christianity repackaged. Like everything else, it has a specific meaning and purpose.
