So basically Rand’s philosophy is no more than the Pagan creed that “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law”.

No, that is not her philosophy. I would say a better summation would be the old canard ‘The freedom of your fist ends at the point of my nose’.

Coercion and force is absoluted anathama to her philosophy and it is that respect of others that is the control point of her philosophy.

Well, she wouldn’t agree that one has a right to “do what thou wilt” if it involved taking the property or labors of another, except in a free and fair exchange, benefical to both parties.

That's not the pagan creed. It is specific to Aleister Crowley's Thelema religion, and is usually quite misunderstood out of context. It isn't even an original idea of Crowley's.

There is the Wiccan Rede, "An it harm none, do what ye will," but that's mainly just a restatement of the Golden Rule ideal.

Not at all. The philosophy was pretty simple. Mutual exchange for mutual benefit is good. Coercion for exclusive benefit is bad.
