This list is a collection of articles written by Soror Meral, originally published in two separate Thelemic journals.  The first was  In the Continuum, published from 1973–1996, and The Black Pearl from 1997–2002.  Both journals feature several contributors covering a variety topics and have been graciously made available (free for download) on the Temple of Thelema web page.

This list is by no means a complete catalog of these journals (nor even a complete list of Soror Meral’s contributions); instead it’s simply a list of articles by Soror Meral we feel well suited to the Aspirant of our Order and those who would be interested in the Magical thoughts of a Soror pivotal in Thelemic history.  Several of these articles began as letters to Students in the hope of addressing certain questions.  Much like in the classic tradition of Epistles, these letters leave the reader with a vivid impression of Soror Meral’s “voice”.  Our hope is that this list will encourage further exploration of her writings.  

For more on Soror Meral please see Remembering Soror Meral in our Vault section.  Or you may want to visit the web page of those groups who carry on in her name; notably the T.O.T. and One Star in Sight (both are listed on our links page).  There is also a two-volume collection of her writings offered by The Teitan Press; edited by David Shoemaker, Gregory Peters and Rorac Johnson, and is highly recommended.  Soror Meral’s biography of Jane Wolfe has been expanded into book form and edited by Marlene Cornelius; available in The Red Flame vol. 10 & 11.
