I wanted to report that we have jumped in unique vistors from about 250
a week to just over a 1000 a week within the last couple of months. As
more and more people learn about Thelemapedia, they will be expecting a
reasonably robust site with lots of great information. Even though the
site has come a long way, it is nowhere near ready for prime time. For
that to happen, it means that we need to all pitch in and make some
contributions.
However, there's no need to panic. Remember, we're not reinventing the
wheel here...we're only providing summaries of the knowledge that's
already out there. Also, you don't have to write a complete
article--you can write just the beginning of one, add a short paragraph
to an existing article, or put in Thelemic material where it is
lacking. There are many short articles (called "stubs") that need
completion, or in some cases correction. Even simple spell-checking and
link-making is of great value.
There are many many areas on the site that need your help, including:
astrology, alchemy, ancient religions and gods, EGC and magick rites
and rituals, and plenty of biographies. However, you should feel free
to add any new topics that you think fit on the site.
There is also a handy and very easy to use tutorial on how to add
material to Thelemapedia. This will show you all the basics, from
starting a new page, to simple formatting, to tips on writing great
content. You can find the Tutorial here:

Also, if you have your own website, perhaps you could add a link to
Thelemapedia. Yeah, the site isn't done cooking yet, but there's enough
there to make it worth people's time to visit, I think. This will help
drive more traffic, hopefully resulting in more editors. Also, it will
help Thelemapedia rise in Google rankings...anything to help get the
word out...
Okay, that's all for now. Thanks for making Thelemapedia such a great
online resource!
