1.4.2 Mere Thelema Manual of Style

The Mere Thelema Manual of Style provides guidance for editorial and stylistic questions that extend beyond the needs of any single manuscript. It should be consulted for general conventions in Thelemic and occultural writing, especially where a project style sheet does not already establish a specific rule. See §2 General Style for more information on recommended style.
