The order’s religious framework is Thelema, summarised in the maxim “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law” and accompanied by “Love is the law, love under will.” Members progress through a sequence of initiatic degrees that draw on Masonic structure but are reframed within Thelemic cosmology.

The Gnostic Mass, composed by Crowley in 1913, is the central public ritual of the associated Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica.
