Demos is a Greek name. Thelema is a Greek word appropriated by Crowley meaning "will" or perhaps "as you choose". Podesta is half Greek. The wife Eugenia worked at Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago. I'm thinking it's a Greek thing rather than a Crowley thing. I hope that's not all Greek to you.
errand? What? θέλημα (Thelema) is in the Lord's prayer: "Thy will (θέλημα - thelema) be done". Does it have a different meaning in modern Greek? Because the classical Greek meaning makes no sense in this context, like every time they say "pizza"

It's not Greek to me. It means in English "errand". You have to do something. I knew the possibility of that. I just felt the info was relevant.

It means errand in modern Greek according to Google translate, so dreamdigital has it right above.
