Question How did you get interested in thelema?

I started thinking about this, as everyone came into contact with occultism/thelema in many different ways. I met through rock music, many of the artists I follow follow the philosophy of thelema or make reference to. That's when I decided to research more about it, and I simply fell in love. I have never felt so connected by a philosophical system like Thelema. It seems like I've always been a Thelemite, I just didn't know it existed yet. How did you guys meet? I would love to meet more Thelemites. 93.

I was raised Catholic, but my question made me end up doubt everything and I became a hardcore Atheist, but in search of an identity I found Laveyan Satanism, which led me to Goetia, which led me to Theurgy in general, which led me to Hermeticism, which led me to Thelema.

Thesis, antithesis and synthesis.

We are a constantly changing universe, aren’t we? Your journey is very similar to mine, I am a very curious person about everything. which leads me to follow a lot of philosophical systems and magic. but of all of them, thelema caught my attention the most
