'''Learning Egyptian''' is the seventieth video in the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]]. [[Gemma]] offers some explanations about [[Bree's religion]].

==Transcript==

'''Gemma:''' I wish I could come over and help you, but it's not like it's a tube ride away. I was worried about you, and so was everyone else. I thought I'd see what I could do from here. For starters, I can tell you everything I know. It is not [[Thelema]] as many have suspected. It's more like a secret society. It's not a religion after all. It's called "[[The Order]]". Like, there were these, uh, compulsory classes that were held in the meeting house, um, where the adults used to learn ancient Egyptian languages. Anyway, I remember flipping through my dad's Egyptian study books...and...I was always captivated by the pictures of the gold and the jewels. I guess I was kind of a typical girl that way. Okay, so I think I need to do a little bit more research. I'll get back to you soon. Stay safe.

==Notes==
*This is the first time Thelema is mentioned in any of the videos, and it is mentioned in order to deny it being [[Bree's religion]].

Bree's mother

200.108.25.208:

[[Bree]] reports that her mother often sides with her in clashes with [[Bree's father]] -- however, this was not the case in the matter of [[Paul]] and [[Andrea]]'s party, which Bree wanted to attend with [[Daniel]]. Bree's mother seemed to be Bree's primary coach in preparing for [[Bree's ritual]] until the introduction of the character [[Lucy]], in episode 42, [[My Helper]].

Bree divulges more information as to the identity and character of her mother in episode 43, [[How My Parents Met]]. In this episode, Bree explains how at the age of 21, her mother lived and studied in Edinburgh, Scotland. Bree's mother, at that time was working on a dissertation on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Weyer Johann Weyer], a dutch physician, occultist, and demonologist. This bit of information alludes to [[Bree's religion]], which is host to a plethora of speculation, and is based arround [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_Crowley Aleister Crowley], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelema Thelema].

It can be inferred from Bree's discussion of her mother in, [[How My Parents Met]], that Bree's mother has historically taken the offensive when arguing or debating with Bree's Father. When Bree's mother and father had yet to meet, Bree's mother overheard her father debating with a friend of his that the theme of the play, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosencrantz_%26_Guildenstern_Are_Dead Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead] is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinism Determinism], and Bree's mother felt compelled to walk over to a man whom she had never met, and tell him he was completely wrong- that the theme of the play was Free Will. Free Will is a basic concept of many [[Thelema| Thelemic]] sects.

In one of Gemma's videos, she describes how her mother met Bree's mother. In this story too, Bree's mom was debating and impressed Gemma's with her confidence.

From what we know of her, it seems clear that Bree's mom is no meek housewife.
