Both very excellent books
Good bit of entertainment
Parsons is still a fascinating figure to this day
"Think not, o king, upon that lie: That Thou Must Die: verily thou shalt not die, but live." - Legis 2:21 Aleister Crowley is currently alive confi...
Well Liber Legis does say: "But your holy place shall be untouched throughout the centuries: though with fire and sword it be burnt down & shat...
The thing I find fascinating (and slightly amusing) is that the proponents of the idea of simultaneously occurring Aeons, basically end up describing ...
The Tunis comment printed in most generic editions of Liber Legis is not the same "The Comment" that is mentioned in 1:36, 3:39-40 and 3:63. The Tu...
Yes I've read Book 4 and yes I know the interlude you speak of. The Jack and the Beanstalk one is a little more exoterically (in that is very appar...
Jack And The Beanstalk as a mystical allegory is quite mindblowing because I haven't thought about that in that context before.
Also the Qur'an, Surah 5:15: "O People of the Book! Certainly Our Apostle has come to you, clarifying for you much of what you used to hide of the...
And furthermore we do have corroboration from the 1st Aethyr of The Vision & The Voice: And they shall be brought unto subjection unto thee, a...
Yes, it is used in the original Greek of the Lord's Prayer. In the phrase "Your Will Be Done" (from Matthew 6:10) the word for Will in Greek used is "...
Book of Lies chapter 5, yes classic riddle. "Fatherhood is unity disguised as duality"
In light of the Goetia, you must be admitting something positive to YHWH by calling it a 'demon'.
At that I find it ironic when fellow Thelemites get too caught up in the same old aeon moralism that they criticize Christian fanatics of. You can't r...
"Gnosticism" predates Islam, and was a growing competitor with the gentile religion of Christianity (of note, Christianity also had a dissonant relati...
Crowley has said much more things about Aiwass, the secret chiefs, the HGA. It should raise anyone's eyebrow when people want to exclusively quote his...
Sounds like the "evil Jews rule the world" conspiracy theory. Antisemitism always finds new ways to reinvent itself. Aryan-Jesus amirite?
Thelema politically is in a category of it's own. Neither left nor right, neither liberal nor conservative. As Crowley also makes note in his introduc...
However I will admittedly add that I do like Peter Grey's musings over the Babalon Working, there still hasn't been enough literature yet out there wh...
Yes it is biased actually given that he writes with the agenda of de-Thelemizing Babalon, and so he has a particular antagonism towards Liber Legis wh...
Liber Legis is far too lucid to be anything written on drugs, yet far too elusive, arcane and bizarre (and yes prophetic) to be anything Crowley consc...
Well it's an important element of the Thelemic story and is a referential feature in certain parts of the A.A. and the OTO (including sections dedicat...
Really? I thought he listened to "The Idiot" by Iggy Pop before he committed suicide.
He seems to see what he wants to see, despite all evidence, and what he sees is what validates his ego. Interesting! Thank you! I am inte...
Ok we need a thread on Chronzon and on the Vision & the Voice more broadly, but search functions are shit. Anyway, in relation to the Choro...
"Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs" A verse from Liber Legis that I think Crowley deliberately avoided almost all his life...
Was supposed to edit it to expand: Thelemites exist on a spectrum and at the same time there are many people who appreciate and take from Crowley's...
@katrice Weston's excellent book (384 pages) is a massive macro-overview of basically many of the ripples of the Aeon of Horus. Within it he mentions ...

Actually this has me thinking, to put RTC on a particular spectrum we've got people such as: Amado Crowley ("Uncle AL is a fraud and my daddy, bu...
@Katrice it is Peter Moon & Preston Nichols. Anyway, I was getting similar vibes. RTC's schtick is becoming more uncanny to Amado as well the m...
@kidneyhawk that is quite an interesting review. I didn't realize it was an actual book. Just been listening to "What Magic Is This?" with thei...
Both Nuit and Ra-Hoor-Khuit are respectively objects of worship. Nuit in the transcendent sense and Ra-Hoor-Khuit in the "in-time/space" sense. Hadit ...
TBH I feel a similar disdain towards Liber 440 that I do for both Liber Tzaddi and Liber A'ash. They are all complete trash and merely trying to repli...
I find it funny that Dugin reciting Liber Ararita gets attention (that video is on so many conspiracy theorist videos) but none of these people even r...
Apparently Jaz Coleman is a Gnostic Priest at some kind of Gnostic Church somewhere in New Zealand but I haven't been able to find any more info
One of the things with KJ I appreciate compared to many other popular music acts that have referenced Crowley (COUGHCOUGHOZZYCOUGHMARILYNMANSONCOUGHCO...
As with most entertainment, mostly guaranteed not.
But "Christ" is only the Greek form (that Christians decided to mostly use) of the Hebrew word Moshiach (of which is used in the "Old Testament").
The Kingdom of God. I think you should not take yourself so seriously with your kneejerk complaining because you miss the point by such a long marg...
To put on a Kippah for a moment - remember that "Christ" also merely taught the Torah and via the Torah critiqued the hypocrisies of his day (to a lim...
Except this is long before his later infamous image. And still demons, Goetia, LHP and other things were either strongly rejected by him or of merely ...
He was attracted to the notion of the Interior Church (aka Invisible College) mentioned in The Cloud Upon The Sanctury by Karl von Eckartshausen and w...

The 17th century was not a tabula rasa, many of the "great" thinkers of that era were reading translations and works derived from what the Muslims had...
On Louv, I liked his Dee book a lot. However his Magick.me I find is so ironic, given the 'do it yourself, for free' kind of model in the Chaos Mag...
On this, I'll happily correct you, that the foundations of modern science was being laid by the Muslims in the 11th/12th century just prior to the ris...
Rabelais didn't invent the word "Thelema", it's there in the Lord's prayer. Matthew 6:10: ἐλθάτω ἡ βασιλεία σου· γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν ...
My 'say what you will' with Liber Legis and Crowley is that, it doesn't matter how you view either, whether sparklingly positive or pessimistically ne...
