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...

Since I am unable to find the "search" function, I would like to know what the view (of members of this forum) is on the music of John Zorn? Markus

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'd very much like to know whether Ewers' novel Fundvogel had been translated into English by 1930? If so, would it have been available in Berlin, or ...

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
