Tannhaus got his name from the midieval legend of Tannhäuser.  The myth of Tannhäuser was possibly the last great pagan myth.  In it, a germanic knight named Tannhäuser takes upon himself a quest to find a pagan goddess.  In the end, we find Tannhäuser finally rejecting Christianity and returning to paganism.  This idea of paganism triumphing over Christianity was a popular theme amongst late pagan myths when Christianity was pushing into their territories.

However, Aleister Crowley saw more in the story of Tannhäuser.  He saw it as the progress of the soul and considered Tannhäuser one of the true Rosicrucian adepts in history.  Tannhaus first became aware of this myth when he bought a book on midieval myths in his teens.  He later heard parts of Richard Wagner's opera Tannhäuser, then finally discovered Aleister Crowley's work by the same name.

The Series

In each episode of the series, Tannhaus deals with a specific aspect of Thelema, tries to explain the concepts in a basic and straight-forward manner, and relates it to a Thelemite's daily life and how it might come into play in every day circumstances.

In addition to the numbered videos of the series, there are many videos that, while technically not part of the "A Thelemite Speaks" series, deal with Thelema, Gnosticism, and every day issues from a Thelemic point of view.

All of the videos, whether "A Thelemite Speaks" or otherwise, are geared towards presenting Thelema to the masses. In general, Tannhaus tries to speak without using insider lingo unless he explains what the terms mean. This is designed so that anyone, from Thelemite to non-Thelemite, may watch the videos and understand the points he tries to get across.

The series may also be found on iTunes under "Tau Sciam".
