====== Thelemic Holy Days ======


The official holy days of Thelema are set forth in The Book of the Law, Ch. II, v. 36-41. 

//Let the rituals be rightly performed
with joy & beauty!
There are rituals of the elements and
feasts of the times.
A feast for the first night of the Prophet
and his Bride!
A feast for the three days of the writing
of the Book of the Law.
A feast for Tahuti and the child of the
Prophet—secret, O Prophet!
A feast for the Supreme Ritual, and a
feast for the Equinox of the Gods.
A feast for fire and a feast for water;
a feast for life and a greater feast for
death!
A feast every day in your hearts in the
joy of my rapture!
A feast every night unto Nu, and the
pleasure of uttermost delight!//
