There is an excellent book on him by Colin Wilson called, "The Nature of the Beast." I highly recommend it for anyone interested.

I can't find it in my dictionary. I see that word on here all the time and I've yet to figure it out.

I've got a dictionary that's a foot thick and that word isn't in there. I thought it had something to do with women but I didn't know what.

10. I go with #'s 1, 2, 7, 8 and 10... |
|
And would add that Crowley was, in a sense, the truest successor to Friedrich Nietzsche...most of Crowley's magickal techniques are tools for self-actualisation through application of focussed will...sort of a form of psychological self-control, I suppose.

This is going to scare people...but here goes. It's all in public domain now.
LIBER OZ
There is no god but man.
1. Man has the right to live by his own law--
to live in the way that he wills to do:
to work as he will:
to play as he will:
to rest as he will:
to die when and how he will.
2. Man has the right to eat what he will:
to drink what he will:
to dwell where he will:
to move as he will on the face of the earth.
3. Man has the right to think what he will:
to speak what he will:
to write what he will:
to draw, paint, carve, etch, mould, build as he will:
to dress as he will.
4. Man has the right to love as he will:-- "take your fill and will of love as ye will, when, where, and with whom ye will." --AL. I. 51
5. Man has the right to kill those who would thwart these rights. "the slaves shall serve." --AL. II. 58 "Love is the law, love under will." --AL. I. 57
(I'm sure our Freeper viewers are now going, "SEE, I told you all they're Satanists!!! ;-) )

Right in my living room!
And Liber OZ pretty much constitutes my political position.

Liber OZ can lead to some people being RW pricks...but if you know the context...well, I guess I'm speaking to the choir.

Even back then in Europe you had to believe in a Supreme God to be a Mason.

24. Great song by Ozzy too! |

Mr. Crowley Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead Your life style to me seemed so tragic With the thrill of it all You fooled all the people with magic You waited on Satan's call Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this Earth Conceived in the eye of a secret And they scattered the afterbirth
(solo)
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course Approaching a time that is classic I hear maidens call Approaching a time that is drastic Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent l wanna know what you meant I wanna know I wanna know what you meant

Crowley, in my view, was a genius, a libertine, and a flawed human being. His exploration of magick and spirituality is worthy of consideration, but ultimately, his erratic nature and his own hubris made his life a ruin.

Also quite a bit misunderstood, a drug fiend, publicity hound, a teacher, a misogynist, and a lot of other things. Damn fine mountaineer (going by his accounts, anyway), and a most entertaining writer. As an obscure sidenote, it is a shame his friend Eckenstein never had a bio made to complement Crowley's, for it is often interesting to know of the inspirations for an extraordinary person as much as it is to know of that person themselves.
