# Liste der Libri von Thelema

Diese Liste enthält die Libri von Thelema, die Bücher des Thelema-Systems (lateinisch liber ‚Buch‘, Plural libri), stellt also eine Art Kanon des von Aleister Crowley begründeten Orden des Astrum Argenteum (A∴A∴), des Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) und allgemein der Nachfolger Crowleys und der Thelema-Tradition dar.
Die meisten Texte gehen auf Aleister Crowley zurück. Wenn nicht anders vermerkt, kann von einer Autorschaft Crowleys ausgegangen werden. Viele der kürzeren Schriften erschienen in der Zeitschrift Equinox oder auch in The International. Ebenso gehen die Inhaltsangaben weitgehend auf Crowleys A Syllabus of the Official Instructions of the A∴A∴ (Liber 207) zurück.
Die Titel entsprechen häufig dem Muster Liber A vel B sub figura X, was als Buch A oder B mit Nummer X gelesen werden kann, wobei X eine Zahl in römischen Zahlen ist.
Die Länge der der rund 140 Texte ist sehr unterschiedlich. Manche der „Bücher“ umfassen nur einige Absätze, andere haben den Umfang mehrbändiger Werke (zum Beispiel Liber 4).

## Klassen

Die Klasse der einzelnen Schriften ist eine Klassifizierung des A∴A∴ entsprechend der Bedeutung der jeweiligen Schrift, wobei die wichtigsten Schriften in der Klasse „A“ sind. Einige der Schriften gehören zu mehreren Klassen. Die Klassen A bis D gehen wie die Inhaltsangaben auf Crowleys Liber 207 zurück. Schriften des O.T.O. haben keine Klassifizierung. Die Klassen im Einzelnen
| Klasse | Beschreibung |
| A | Schriften, deren Inhalt in keiner Weise verändert werden darf, da sie das Werk eines Adepten sind („books of which may be changed not so much as the style of a letter: that is, they represent the utterance of an Adept entirely beyond the criticism of even the Visible Head of the Organization“) |
| B | Schriften, die Resultat gewöhnlicher Gelehrsamkeit sind („books or essays which are the result of ordinary scholarship, enlightened and earnest“) |
| C | Materialien, die eher als Anregung denn als sonst etwas dienen können („matter which is to be regarded rather as suggestive than anything else“) |
| D | offizielle Rituale und Anweisungen |
| E | Bekanntmachungen und Infoschriften |

## Nummern

Die Nummern der Libri wurden von Crowley nicht beliebig oder chronologisch vergeben, sondern stehen entsprechend der von Crowley entwickelten synkretistischen Zahlenmystik in Beziehung zum Inhalt der jeweiligen Schriften. Ausführliche Tabellen mit Entsprechungen zwischen Zahlen, Planeten, Göttern, Farben, Tarot-Trümpfen etc. finden sich im Liber 777. Einige Nummern (zum Beispiel die Nummern 28 und 31) erscheinen doppelt. Eine Zusammenstellung der Entsprechungen für die konkreten Libri gibt Crowley in Liber 207 wie folgt:

| VIII | The Tarot card numbered 8, the Charioteer, the bearer of the Holy Graal, represents the Holy Guardian Angel. |
| IX | Refers to Yesod. The foundation, because the elementary practices recommended in the book are the foundation of all the work. |
