Thelemic Ethics
From Wikiversity
The ethics of Thelema may be summarized in its most oft quoted axiom "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." Crowley writes, "There are no "standards of Right." Ethics is balderdash. Each Star must go on its orbit. To hell with 'moral Principle;' there is no such thing; that is a herd-delusion, and makes men cattle. Do not listen to the rational explanation of How Right It All Is, in the newspapers." [1] Essentially, in Thelema, what is "right" is to do your Will, and what is "wrong" is to restrict, inhibit, repress, or divert one's Will.
