It is known that Bowie was a voracious reader whose taste spanned a great palate. Therefore it shouldn't come as a surprise that he cites Crowley or t...

Danke Lutz! My thoughts exactly. Genius that he was, Zappa does not strike me as the fellow to peruse occult literature. Mind you, a look into his bio...

The use of blood as red ink is interesting, and possibly correct. However, wouldn't this ink turn brown upon drying? A further point is that the use...

Thank you for the good news, Michael. One question: Will the pagination be the same as the first edition? Markus

Thank you, Behemoth - my thinking exactly. 444 would, of course have been Ypsilon, My, Delta. I find it difficult to believe that Crowley would make s...

It is my feeling that Liber 440 is a true Revelation and that Beck successfully tapped into the Current known as 93. The energy - if you so will - of ...

Gregorius' take on AC's horoscope: Text Maarkus

A lovely tidbit, Paul. Anyone know, or remember where AC states Aleister Crowley once stated that the most important grimoire, or book of magical ...

Season 1, episode 8 - hardly a coincidence, considering that AC published Book T in season 1, episode 8 of The Equinox! Markus

I was kindly sent the exact citation of the very diary entrance which let Churton assume Crowley had read Fundvogel. AC's wording does not necessarily...

I too got this "spam" mail. However, having read Dr. Kaczynski's most recent book, I figured that this cannot be a coincedence and that the contents o...

The set is indeed beautiful and of superb quality. The price, however, is too dear. In Germany you will typically pay €1500, i.e. GBP ~1000 for the co...

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It is both intelligent and witty, as well as very funny. Hopefully Kaczynski will write more fiction books - he's obv...

An excellent summary of the K2 expedition. Cheers, Paul.Markus

No worries, eol! And by the way, thanks for the great work you're doing on this site!Markus

Ah, is that why "Lashtal.com/portal" shows a blank page instead of the homepage?Markus
