@ William Thirteen Here's the quotes again with their sources attributed. The following are all from Crowley's diary entries from 1920. They can be f...
Crowley was probably "confused about it for a while" . . . but one thing people tend to gloss over or ignore is that when the confusion cleared, Crowl...
"Shiva" wrote: "Some Christian sites may refer to him as Satan, or some similar appelation . . ." MAYBE because that's exactly what Crowley referred ...
Jeez, I had even scrolled through the table of contents for the Collected Works and somehow skimmed right past the entry "Translations from Baudelaire...
I live 2 hours away from the Absinthe House in New Orleans. Yup, it's still there.
Either way, it has resulted in some funny shit. I myself do a little self-publishing, and when I grab a public domain text, I head on over to books.go...
Sacred-texts.com uses a similar trick to tell if people copy and pasted their stuff and reused it. If you pay close attention, in most of their electr...
Well, if that quote means that the OTO has actually decided to lay off anyone in the US publishing and selling the public domain stuff, then I have no...
Hey now, I only chimed in because someone else started a thread about copyrights. I didn't bring it up. And to be clear, I'm not bothered by the OTO r...
True Shiva, you have a point about the pre-1923 being a USA law. But on the other hand, the O.T.O. is, unless I'm completely mistaken, based in Califo...
I still find it odd that the O.T.O. somehow manages to completely ignore the copyright laws that place anything published before the year 1923 into th...
I'm sticking with "fill" because firstly, Crowley's early scribbling of chunks of the poem in the manuscript of AL used "fill," and secondly, since it...
I can't remember where, but I do recall reading some other nut-job's article suggesting that Crowley murdered the men for disgracing Tut's stuff. Kind...
Sammy was made an honorary member of the Church of Satan by Anton LaVey after Anton enjoyed Sammy's portrayal of a comedic demon in the movie "Poor De...
Yeah, it was pretty entertaining watching this gender-centric bullmess for a minute, but now the novelty of the bickering is long gone.
If Crowley was perpetrating a hoax, he could have done a much better job, and would have. For example, all this talk about what his handwriting on the...

I was gonna refrain from saying this for a bit, but I can't help it. I personally have found this thread highly helpful and illuminating. I mean that ...
Well, that.....that's just......quite capable of changing my parties drastically.
Looking back at it, I think you're right Belmurru. But that still leaves me puzzled. Why does Islam's views of Jesus have any bearing on the Dying God...
The original post, and the comment on Liber Al quotes making one sick, both seem to point towards someone trying to get folks to think about accepting...
Oh, and Los, maybe it's just me, but you seem to be overly concerned with Thelemites who are mystical or spiritual to a point beyond your liking. If t...
Yeah, I'm still kinda confused as to why this thread shifted so sharply from whether or not Aiwaz suffers from short-term memory issues, to whether or...
Not to be nit-picky, or abuse Liber Al by using it in an argument, but as far as the Book of the Law and occult references are concerned:AL I:37 - Als...

As far as the seeming contradiction in Crowley's HGA, Aiwass, being both his personal inner-self yet at the same time something outside and beyond him...
If your friend just had this randomly happen, and was not on drugs, and hadn't been performing any occult experiments recently, then a forum like this...
Is this friend of yours an occultist who works with visualization, or did this just happen out of nowhere for no apparent reason?
I don't think it's all fixed. I accidentally uploaded the wrong pic on that "Frater Bush" entry in the "Humour" section, and I sent you a PM about it,...
Damn, come to think of it, this probably should've been in the "stuff" section, if any moderator wants to move that over there.
In hindsight, I probably shoulda called this thread "Crowley's personal flaws make him a more honest and human religious figure and teacher" rather th...
Thanks for the links Belmurru, but I had already looked up the meaning myself. I was just being a little facetious about the whole thing, because the ...

It's almost impossible to convince anyone who believes in wacky occult government conspiracy mumbo jumbo that they've got it all wrong. Because of cou...
Exquisite!
As far as comparing Crowley's effectiveness as being a helpful figure in the lives of his followers, no, it really doesn't matter whether or not Jesus...
Oh, and Alex, I almost forgot two things. According to Crowley, to truly become a Black Brother by his definition of the term, you must eventually aba...
