[edit] List of Thelemites

Bennett was never a Thelemite. He was a Golden Dawn member and Crowley's mentor. He never professed to follow Thelema: He went to India, and became a Buddhist. Crowley tried to convert him to Thelema during a visit to India, but was rebuffed. Bennett had renounced western magick. Would you want to be called a member of a religion you never joined after you die? -999 05:20, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

As for Kellner, Thelema is not the same as OTO and vice-versa. Kellner was never really even a founder of OTO, but simply an associate of Reuss' who he found it convenient to make part of the order's mythology. Thelema had not come into it at all at that time. You have to understand that Crowley made claims that various dead people were Thelemites. However, unless they themselves professed Thelema, they should not be on List of Thelemites, IMO. -999 05:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, no. Bennett left for Asia in 1900 and not only became a Buddhist but had founded the World Buddhist Society by 1903, before Crowley received the Book of the Law. Crowley tried but fail to convert him later during a visit to India. (Crowley wrote that he was a traitor to the West because of this, or some such rubbish.) You may be thinking of Frank Bennett, the Australian that Crowley wrote Liber Samekh for... -999 05:33, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How do you want this?

Do you want me to remove the guys I put on the British blues page from the blues guitarists page? Clay4president 17:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I would say anyone in Category:British blues musicians who is best/only known as a guitarist should be moved to Category:British blues guitarists. More to the point, no one should be listed in both categries; just one or the other. That said, I'm not entirely clear on what you're referring to when you say "the British blues page," so if that's not Category:British blues musicians, I'd appreciate it if you could provide a link. --Geoff Capp 12:23, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I have added several guitarists to British Blues Guitarists. I went through all the blues guitarists. Clay4president 03:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thelema Category

Thanks for letting me know. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how that happened. Must have been a mistake I made when I first starting editing. Thanks again. Regards. SynergeticMaggot 03:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
