Have you read A.C.'s "The Antecedents of Thelema"? In it he gives [IMO]
an intriguing interpretation/analysis of Rabelais' philosophy in relation
to Thelema. The copy I have is prefaced with a statement [attributed
to A.C.] reading "Our position is that Rabelais was a great adept, a sort
of prophet of Thelema." It was published as a serial in three issues of
Mezla; I don't know if it has been published elsewhere. [If you're
interested, the specific issues are Vol. 1, No. 10 An LXXIII, Vol. 1, No.
11 An LXXIV, & Vol. 1, No. 12 An LXXV.]
Love is the law, love under will.
Pax vobiscum,
Sohbet
