The Caretakers of Thelema exist to preserve the work of Marcelo Ramos Motta, to promote The Order of Thelema and to manage A∴ A∴ initiation of Probationers during Periods of Speech. The current five-year Period of Speech of the A∴ A∴ began at Noon, Cairo Time on April 8, An. CXVI (2019 e.v.) and the A∴ A∴ is once again accepting Probationers.
