Skill, craft, ability, power, strategem, can all be received and understood by the Thelemites from Aiwaz. As for Dead Souls, Aliana rose out of a wr...

Queen of Dead Souls digital art by Aleisterion (from art by Aleister Crowley)

It goes without saying that such unenlightened and uninitiated dead souls are enlightened and initiated to new life with burning hearts by their own w...

Aliana's words: "We all know the story of the Dead Souls, and Leah wanting Aleister to paint her as one. But, if you ask me, I'd say that a Dead Sou...

You may call me whatever you like! And of course I can tell you anything I know. The true meaning of Dead Souls I understand, but it requires me to th...

Interesting words: "The Big Operation". Not merely a simple ceremony, it seems. It involved, I would think, her Attainment and his. "I proclaimed B...

It should be noted, with regard to the Ipsissimus ritual itself, that, in her diary, Leah Hirsig wrote the following: “May ?, 1921 The Big Operation...

This of course proves nothing. This Reality of Supernal Clarity (as I call the State of being an Ipsissimus) pre-existed the man called Crowley, just ...

As I see it, the remainder of chapter 3 of Liber Legis, to verse 30, describes the ritual of the war-engine.

Its Latin title is Liber BAB. In the English, Book 5.

Why should that be? It was NOT Crowley that set up anything...it was Aiwaz, after all...

Definitely so...or bigger.

Book 5, as in the next big magick book to follow Aleister Crowley's magnificent Book 4. Unlike Gospel of Dead Souls, however, to which I contribute ...

It's not Liber V (Crowley did that little teeny book) -- it's Book 5. No Latin in this title. Whatever do you mean?? Who is claiming to be an Ip...

Okay, well, as for myself, I think (from looking at surrounding verses and considering the words carefully), bearing in mind that all of this is more ...

Totally different book by a different author. Gospel is a non-fiction story that tells a tale, and Book 5 is a book of magick.

Book 5. It's a very big, very impactful book. It will be a monumental task if I can pull it off, but I am going to do it as long as I have breath in m...

That is very interesting, obviously, and we thank you so much for the info, which we haven't seen. Of course, in relation to Anna's book, it isn't so ...

Aye, Jamie! I do so very much like you, especially after some of your recent remarks. Sometimes it takes me a little while to warm to others. You're n...

Of course! And I appreciate the Thelemic fraternity and friendship here - and so too does Anna, by the way; she may not be registered here, but we sha...

There is always success, if need be through rectification or adjustment. In this very bizarre case, one could be as Crowley and point fingers (he blam...

Because that was the intent of the ritual of the Beast and the Scarlet Woman, and these were the blessed Children of the Aeon. There was a Great Work ...

It really does matter though. Every man of will, and every woman of will, is whatsoever they will. (At least in our opinion.)

But there was another child right there in the room at the time! Poupee ("doll" in French), or Anne Leah, which Aliana says was a life she had been de...

Sorry for digging out this old censure, dear brother - and I mean that sincerely - but your question stuck with me and I can't stop thinking about it....

Yet the penultimate grade of Crowley's system is full of a gang of fellows that are leaders of their own respective religions. I think that the buil...

That's interesting.

It's my opinion, for what little it's worth, that the Aeon of Justice & Rectification, whenever it comes, will have its own law and its own prophe...

The gods of men (or the way of propitiation as opposed to that of Thelemic apotheosis), are "cursed" (or of no use), because the divinity within and a...

Umm..."total rejection"? Are you absolutely certain that this is how you view those verses? Don't forget though: some of those Thelemic Saints (or ...

An actual Gnostic Mass, no, but a Thelemic Mass similar thereto, yes. We've done woman/woman, man/man, with others in our area. Both work wonderfully,...

Did I though? I'm sure that S & M Club would've been appropriate enough (ha ha); but most of the time, in private, I really do refer to it as the ...

@herupakraath There is no angel, there is no god, beyond the greater genius of humanity.

@shiva It matters not one whit what one calls it. I like to call it the Holy Order; but again, one could just as well refer to it as the Sun & Moo...

Let me check to ensure I got it right. I've been making silly mistakes lately. I've no knowledge of a Kenneth! Maybe it's a cross-universe phenom...

As a postscript to the above, I need to add that I worked day and night, following the Instructions in The Equinox, from 1988 until 2001, when the wor...

Howdy, Lutz! By the way, I tried to email you (and kidneyhawk too, come to think of it), but I think the imps of the internet ate my emails (or someth...

this is most interesting...the part about Aleisterion is just Alhysterical!

@shiva I kept getting that too - had to switch to firefox to get it to work.

Aiwaz is the union of Therion and Babalon, in our view. It is - again, in our view - the Supernal Holy Spirit of the Aeons, working through the proces...

Swing and a miss, pal. Crowley utilized this system because its Hierophantic Workings were passed down, purged and purified by New Aeon Energies - and...

As an addendum, I should emphasize that, from our perspective, every man and woman is a sun or a moon - Beast or Babalon - each according to the will ...

Liber 418, The Vision & the Voice, of course, is partly Class A: the Utterance of the Angels is Class A, equivalent to that of Aiwaz, and "Holy". ...

Not so much that, but the "gods" are lofty/deeper paranormal aspects of the Thelemites themselves! This is the teaching that Leah Hirsig (Alostrael), ...

Obviously Crowley, being self-centered, constructed this Mythos of Scarlet Woman (Nu; Babalon), Beast (Had; Therion) and Satan-Aiwaz (RHK/HPK; Baphome...

Homo est Deus

Not always it seems; for this was the Devotion & Duty shown to the Beloved. But in this Act of Worship, his Suffering was the Passion of the ...

We're good then...I'm glad! Of course! It was foolish of me to think that it wasn't elsewhere...it's all in the diaries too, of course, except fo...

The actual name, Shaitan-Aiwass, isn't used by Crowley (at least I don't think so), who uses Satan-Aiwaz (sometimes) in the diaries after 1920 or so.

While Gospel of Dead Souls, a book about the legacy of Aleister Crowley, Leah Hirsig and their two babies, is an entertaining and thrilling joyride th...
