I think it's basically magic. There is such a thing as magic, and the Beatles were magic. It depends on what you believe life is. Life is an energy field, a bunch of molecules. And these particular molecules formed to make these four guys, who then formed into this band called the Beatles and did all that work. I have to think that was something metaphysical. Something alchemic. Something that must be thought of as magic--with a "k."

-- Paul McCartney (Rolling Stone #1025)
   
"To Perfect This Feast" by James and Nancy Wasserman

Drawing on nearly half a century of regular performance of the Gnostic Mass—and the countless classes and training sessions they have conducted during their O.T.O. careers—James and Nancy Wasserman (Bishops Tahuti and Mara) offer a coherent look at the ritual described by Aleister Crowley as “the central ritual of [the O.T.O.’s] public and private celebration.”



With no attempt to “improve” upon the teachings of the Master, they elucidate a method of performing the Mass whose entire rationale is a strict adherence to the instructions given in Liber XV. The authors have striven to understand the meaning of Crowley’s text—penned in the white-hot fury of his 1913 inspiration—and extract the relevant spiritual teachings embedded within this elegant ritual.

A series of insights, beginning in December of 2005 e.v., revealed solutions to long-hidden performance mysteries. The authors were encouraged to share these with a broader audience.

If you are interested in Aleister Crowley and the Gnostic Mass, this book will teach you how to perform it in a manner that conforms to his instructions.

Just got my signed copy in the mail from Weiser today. Niiiiice! The first Gnostic Mass I ever saw, 20 years ago, at Tahuti Lodge in New York City was conducted by Frater Jim and Soror Nancy; we went out with them and the Lodgemaster for Chinese after, it's very... completing, I guess, to have this in my library and signed by both of them; they did a fabulous Mass that night in Garvey's Dance space... inspired me for years to follow...

Love is the law, love under will.
