@Shiva I mostly agree with you but you forget you're referencing Hindu terms and even your name is a Hindu deity (the one of consciousness nonetheless...

I'm not the OP lol, there's an entire page behind this. I found this thread on Google, so I replied. I think you replied to the Aiwassian thread too,...

To put in my two cents, "Pure" Thelema is entirely based on Liber Legis and Aiwass itself (whether you believe Aiwass to be God, the Secret Chiefs or ...

@Shiva That's crazy, I have always been under the impression that the Holy Guardian Angel idea is intentionally misleading, in order to draw non-relig...

@ot313 From what I can see, it just doesn't accept Crowley's interpretations (including "Will") and is non-mystical/magical (according to the facebook...

Everything you need is contained in Liber Legis, everything else is irrelevant.

It's a good book for what it is and gives a bit of a Robert Anton Wilson vibe with it's "serious but not-serious" relationship with the reader. Duqu...

Saw the trailer that just came out, it looks like a mess.

I-vhas

@ViaVeritasVniversvm Interestingly, the word "not" happens to appear in Liber Legis 83 times!

@Dom Minority? You mean majority. I've never met a single Thelemite that takes it seriously, it's all "psychological metaphorical" types. And I've m...

@los One doesn’t stop being an atheist because one agrees with, say, the notion of True Will. But Atheists by definition disagree with the idea of a...

I'm listening to it right now. The music is ok but nothing special, a bit over-produced (an orchestra? come on!) for the vapid songwriting. Currently...

Strange Angel doesn't look too promising to me. What about you's?

Thinking about the idea of Aiwass being a separate entity to Crowley, following one of the earlier statements about Liber Legis' origins. In the sit...

Well we've always got Franz Bardon, Kenneth Grant and Michael Aquino for starters

The way I've come to see it, is that as Liber Legis is the only core class A document (and the only transmitted one); The other class A texts, are eit...

Zorn’s interest in AC/Thelema was discussed on p. 1 of this thread, And what? eight years ago; there have been several subsequent threads on this t...

John Zorn has quite a few pieces (and albums) dedicated to Crowley. As John is very passionately interested in magic, mysticism and gnosticism, it isn...

Kenneth Anger's "Inauguration Of The Pleasure Dome" is perhaps my favorite film, I JUST LOVE IT!! (plus it also stars Marjorie Cameron and Anais Nin b...

@Michael Staley Inland Empire, Fire Walk With Me and the recent Twin Peaks season are amazing!

ignant666 As to the sort of OT: Being a “Vewy Scawy Deviw Wowshipew” was pretty mandatory in Heavy Metal by the the time Maiden emerged; i think the...

I love Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente, it is a great set of parables.

One of the songs allegedly inspired by Crowley: (first verse is from an old hymn, so I didn't include it: "Just a babe in the black abyss, No reason...

While my feelings on Iron Maiden are generally neutral, I don't get the sense that Bruce is interested in Thelema. He is a fan of literature and folkl...

"Inauguration Of The Pleasure Dome" is one of my favorite movies, as is Kenneth Anger is one of my favorite filmmakers, so I'm already well acquainted...

And yes, I've read most stuff I can access about the Babylon Working (and Liber 49)

Another interesting one: (pg 194) "it is to you, firstborn and firstfruit of woe, to me, branded sheep, pick of the wasterpaperbaskel, by the tremo...

I find the 'war engine' part of Ch. III, to be rather a fascinating double or triple entente. Sex Magick/Tantra is definitely one of those things but ...

You are right about Liber 418/T.V.A.T.V., I fully agree. It's a very dense book and is very visceral, even just as a reading experience (much like Lib...

I find Liber Porta Lucis to be a beautiful sentiment, same for Liber Tzaddi. Liber Liberi vel Lapidis Lazuli is intriguing but I am a bit distant to...

Union Peelings always gets me in very overwhelming ways, it's a powerful parable of sorts.

The book of lies was one of the first Crowley books I read, it definitely caused a little bit of cognitive dissonance at first (namely because I hadn'...

I think the amazing thing for me, is that whatever the origins are of the Liber Legis text, it still remains a powerful and inspiring text that has en...

I'm reading this Grant book at the moment and it's intriguing. Kenneth Grants books (as I'm less acquainted with him in general compared to earlier ...

One excerpt from page 255 of F.W. is the following: "Why wilt thou erewaken him from his earth, O summonor- other: he is weatherbitten from the du...

Thank you very very much @frater_anubis You have been a big help! 93 🙂

After listening to the podcast from 'Thelema Coast To Cost'*, where they talked to Nema herself (#26) I was refered by Nema to this site: I guess i...

I saw this Liber mentioned in "Outside The Circles Of Time" by Kenneth Grant, I'm wondering if anyone knows to obtain it? (either physically or as a p...

Thank you for sharing! RAW's talks and writings on practically everything is insightful, multiangled and entertainin, He was a great personality. 🙂

I think he should re-write it entirely, lol. The lyrics show that he has never even read Crowley. He may have been a founder of metal but it certain...

Thank you Lashtal for your suggestions, I'm looking into them now.
