The Abbey of Theleme

Writer's picture: Peter Duchemin, PhdPeter Duchemin, Phd

From Rabelais' Gargantua


The Abbey of Theleme, According to Rabelais, was a hexagonal house - Lavish, generous, and beautifully harmonious. External laws were not required for the Thelemites to govern themselves according to the highest virtues of honor, graciousness, and pleasure. Can the power of Law be distilled so finely as to require no external enforcement? Can the hexagon do its magick on the human soul and refine it, like an ashlar to be fit perfectly into the Temple of Thou?

Who art Thou?
