RUMPER IN Stock

Don't know. Crowley washed so damned many hogs in his attempt to be the Edwardian era's preeminent shock jock it's hard to parse it all out, isn't it?

Never found it all that difficult to parse out the magickal content. The shock jock? Yea, he didn't mind giving the public a noose to hang themselves with. Crowley definitely weaved a myth around himself. Richard T Coles Bogus book is an interesting read. I find his thesis much more intriguing than the actul reception of the Book of the Law.

I always saw him as just another rich, syphilitic English loony who liked to bark at the moon while wearing his screwy "English Orientalist" get-up. Any legitimate points he may have had are kind of overshadowed by his role as a silly caricature of a bogeyman.
Sorry: had to edit for a typo I missed.

:rofl:

That was his point. Scare away the masses. That's how I've come to see it.
Best walk away Crowley technique: Cermeonial Magic can be done with A wine Glass, Feather, kitchen knife, paper, dirt, and ons, The rest is your mind and your time.

I got nothing against the guy, I'm just not into the whole mysticism/occultism/whatever thing. If I was a bored rich guy in Victorian/Edwardian England, I'd probably be nutty as hell, too.

Love the Tree of Life behind ToMega Therion. Kind of screws up the Satanic hogwash, doesn't it?

I'm okay with that
