Meet OTO.org’s Aleister Crowley Aussies jailed for "villifying"

Video Transcript:

Just curiously does anyone here not know who Alistair Crowley is? Never heard of Alistair, okay? Anyone else? Anyone know his work really well so well he wouldn't admit it in public? Alistair Crowley. Alistair Crowley. Alistair Crowley. Alistair Crowley, the late Alistair Crowley, my very good friend. This is Edward Alexander Crowley also known as Alistair Crowley. He styled himself a wickedest man in the world. The wickedest man in the world. The wickedest man in the world. The wickedest man in the world by the London newspapers. The man who called himself the beast 666. The golden dawn's most notorious member was a self-confessed satanist. Others have affectionately doubted him the most notorious occult magician of the 20th century. Mr Crowley has been instrumental throughout music. Just the crowlyism of the times it was a significant part of that middle point of the 70s. Crowley was one of the pantheon of cult figures portrayed on the cover of the Beatles record. Sergeant Peppas lonely hearts club band. I don't think of any other cultist who's been more influential on rock musicians in Alistair Crowley. I know what close. And he personally bragged of having slaughtered 150 male children in one year. This is why he was called the wickedest man in the world. And through Phideum South and B. Pipnotti transes in the use of drugs on himself he wanted to become the most powerful being in the world. He was responsible for founding the religion and philosophy of sexual magic, Delama, in which role he identified himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the aeon of Horus in the early 20th century. He is a Freemason. It has its roots in Freemasonry and secret societies which is essentially Luciferian doctrine that is the sigil of baffament, the symbol of baffament. I have found that it's a very hardcore of all these secret societies lurks the Kabbalah. A lot of the Kabbalah, a lot of ancient Egyptian deity as well. In the great pyramid, Crowley conducted in a cult ritual intending to access supernatural powers. To what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law. Love under will. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law and love is the law. Love under will. Do what thou wilt. Do what thou wilt. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law. Love is the only law. Find me. I'm doing what I want to do. I am who I am and it's tattooed on my chest. I've been an admirer of Alistair Proudly. I think that I'm carrying on much of the work that he started over 100 years ago and I think the 60s themselves, you know, Proudly said do what thou wilt shall be the home of the law. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. His family were members of the Plymouth Brethren sect. Now the Plymouth Brethren that were radical Protestants, you might even say pathologically anti-pleasure. They believed in the literal truth of the Bible. This included in particular the Book of Revelations which is a constant echo throughout Crowley's imagination is theology you want to call it that. I had arrived at the conclusion that the Plymouth Brethren were an exceptionally detestable crew. I wanted sin, a supreme spiritual sin, but hadn't the slightest idea how to go about it. He heard that there were secret societies whose members practiced dark and forbidden rituals. Crowley was intrigued and was desperate to access this hidden world. After two years of searching he finally found what he was looking for. And in his study of religion and philosophy he encountered this idea of an invisible college, a place where spiritual topics where mysticism and magic are taught to people who can locate the entrance to this mystical college. And he very much wanted to be part of that. And eventually he did find someone who was able to provide him an introduction to a group called the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He discovers the Golden Dawn. It's from here on really that he feels he's really onto something. This is something brand new, it's fresh, brand stoke has involved, Yates has involved the sort of literary society lot. He wants to be part of that as well. But what had happened is that Crowley worked through the different levels really quickly. He was a quick study, he was bright, I mean he's a brilliant guy. Like nobody else has gone through anything before he seems to take to this literally like a fished water. There seems to be his vocation. This is after his initiation into the Golden Dawn which happened at Mark Mason's Hall of Adelief in November 1898. And he took the magical name of Thracur Purgurabo. I would enjoy it to the end. And he did. And one of the interesting things about the Crowley's associated with the Golden Dawn was that when he came into it, basically that was the beginning of the end of it. For Crowley who was now referring to himself as the Beast 666, the Golden Dawn turned out to be a bitter disappointment. He thought that they were playing at magic and tried to take the society over. He clashed with the poet W.B. Yates, who was a prominent member, calling him a lank-de-shevilled humanologist. Rumors of the questionable occult activities in Chance Relay were filtering back to the other eminent members of the Golden Dawn. As well as W.B. Yates, he was encouraged to miss his sexual relationships with both men and women. William Yates for one highly disapproved of the man and let him be known to Mathers. In May 1899 Crowley went to Paris to meet the leader of the Golden Dawn for the first time. And the reason why Mathers was the guy is that he was in touch with these entities that were known as the secret chiefs. Now if you know Madden with that, she talks about the Mahatmas. These are these kind of elevated, highly evolved individuals who have mastered, you know, occult powers and masters powers in mind and all that kind of thing and they can communicate telepathically and they can materialize and do, you know, they can use the force, who they basically are able to do that. Mathers claimed to be directly in touch with them. As well as being a master of remiss, Mathers, it's been many years translating one of the oldest most famous books on magic, The Key of Solomon. He had also written a book The Capatta Revealed, which he had translated from the Jewish Doha. Many years ago, I discovered another Hebrew manuscript, the book of The Sacred Magic of Abrahamelian the Mage. It was a kind of teach yourself, guide, on how to impose your will on nature, using contemplation, prayer and abstinence. Not that far away from yoga. There are two schools of magic. On the one hand, you have one magic, which invokes the forces of evil. Abrahamelian teaches that the good forces are superior in power to the evil or satanic forces, and that by prayer and leading a pure life, the practicing magician can call upon his guardian angel to help him use and harness the forces of the power of darkness. There are no real rituals, just lists of angels and demons, which can be a vote. Now, Abrahamelian magic was something that had been come into the Western literature in the 15th century. It was translated by Abraham the Jew to his son, Lamak, to invoke the good forces, the angelic forces in order to overcome the dark forces. Crowley is so dedicated to performing the Abrahamelian ritual that he actually goes to the length of seeking out and finding the perfect place and buying a house to do the actual ritual in. Nothing else just acted to do this ritual, and it's in Loch Ness, Boleskin House. He had to have an isolated house that was indicated, and it had to have a terrace, kind of a flat area outside, and it had to be without nosy neighbors. I don't know how he heard about Boleskin, but he must have been attracted to the name because it's actually derived from Boles, the bloody god of Babylonians. He spent almost a year looking for this type of house. It had to be a house which opened onto the north, doors opening onto the north, with a terrace where he could cover with fine river sand, and with a part of the house which where the spirits, she called that would conjugate. So Crowley dropped the ceremony, which was you're not supposed to do this. I mean, much to begin something you should follow through. If you do that kind of thing, you get possessed in a certain sense. Things get inside you and use you for their purposes. When Celia comes to Earthquakes Hour, the bed vibrates like Kettle Drums. It is a grand display of power when Celia comes. When Celia thought, my hasty nose lifts up the fragrance of her parts, shamed other violets and the rose when Celia falls. Your life times from a little girl to be sure that you've worn her that has chewed your own pile of memory. Your hand was the key to you, and now you've freelled here. Rub all the much of your Kanton me, Leo. Kant let me suck all your gluey gonorrhea. Kant without end, aim in until you spend. Kant, you have Harvard all dirt and disease. You're slain and Harvard. You're these whole with its cheese and its own dumplings and pots and chew of cocks. I rave and I rave and I rip and I ran everlasting world without end. Manicain, maiden, manned man in the might of pan, Eopan, Eopan, pan, Eopan. If you dig into the poetry and you read between the lines of this poetry, you dig into the story, a lot of things that make more sense to you. Sprall on me sit on my mouth, Leo. Shit on me, slut. Creamy the curves that drip from your gut. Greasy the turns. Dribble your dumb on the tip of my tongue. Turn on me, Leo. Twist with your thighs. Smear diarrhea into my eyes. Splutter out shit from the bottomless pit. Turn to me chew it with me, Leo. Or vomit it, spew it and lick it once more and can make lust drunk on disgust. Broly and I were performing and experimenting with magic ceremonies, calling upon demons and consecrating barriers to talisman. Experimentation into the occult, when far beyond Crowley's formal golden dawn grades, incorporating the use of mind altering drugs, opium, cocaine and hashish. By the great godhar properties, by your deep purple darkness, by my white and brilliant light, do I conjure thee? Collect yourself about me. Clothe this astral form with a shroud of darkness. Back in England, Crowley found his first disciple, Victor Neuberg, a young Cambridge poet. In the case of Neuberg, there was definitely a peculiar kind of homosexual relation and I'm not just now talking about the ordinary physical thing. Neuberg was in love with him. That's what I mean. He got mixed up with Crowley. Crowley saw there a far weaker character, plunged on Neuberg, and of course got dragged him into this whole business of black magic. The two set off to Algeria to perform Enochian magic, the dark, and dangerous set of occult rituals. They walked deep into the Sahara for two days, until they reached the point of exhaustion. Disorientated by the effects of the desert, and copious quantities of hashish, mescaline, Crowley and Neuberg embarked on the climax of the ritual. Summoning Karanza, the dweller of Abyss, seen within the occult world as the devil himself. Crowley has like a mystic revelation that sees a blinding white light, and seems to commune with the secret chiefs, and he suddenly realizes that sex can be a sacrament, can be in praise of the gods. It's like a short cut, it's a short circuit to go straight in to achieve what everyone else achieved magically. The effect of the rituals left Neuberg a shattered man. He never fully recovered from the experience, but Crowley, this was the final piece in the jigsaw. He had now united his belief in the part of sex and magic into one occult vision. Crowley was practicing sexuality as a spiritual path. He reduced a great deal of symbolic teachings to their essence, which is essentially the duality or the polarity between male and female, and he experimented greatly within that sphere to understand what mysteries were contained within the sexual act. To the shock of family and friends, Crowley and Rose ran off and got married. In 1904 Crowley was traveling with his wife Rose. He had just married and they were on a honeymoon. So Crowley's idea of a honeymoon was basically going around the world, a very long trip. They were staying in Cairo where they lived a lavish and decadent lifestyle. The honeymoon was a period of uninterrupted divorce. Once in the first three weeks or so, Rose took some trifling liberty. I recognized the symptoms and turned her up and spanked her. She henceforth added the qualities of a perfect wife to those of a perfect mistress. They drank and they sniffed ether and they probably smoked as sheesh and other things that Crowley liked. Alice Erick grown tired of his persona and decided a new one would be more fitting with his new family life. An Alice does normal fashion. He declared himself Prince Hyal or Khan and took to wearing a turban studied with diamonds. A silk robe and a gold cloth coat. I was of course Princess Hyal or Khan. We would be driven around streets of Cairo in our carriage with two young men running in front clearing our path. I wanted my wife to see what a great magician I was. We went accordingly after dinner with candles. I had with me a small notebook in which was written the preliminary invocation of the Goethe. The invoked the more endless one. The that did create the earth and the heavens. The that did create the night and the day. The that did create the darkness and the light. There are a song never no man had seen it any time. There are not. Yavis. Rath. Yavovras. Their haste distinguished between the just and the unjust. Back in Cairo they were continuing their orgy of hedonistic access when the Black Magic Mitchell and the Great Pyramid had an unexpected result that was to be the turning point in Crowley's life. Rose Kelly began mumbling and muttering about the gods wanting to talk to Crowley. A particular of a god Horace had something to say to him. At first Crowley didn't know what to make of this so he kind of ignored it. But eventually she kept doing this and the continued so he challenged her and asked her some questions and much to surprise this unschooled woman should never study Egyptian mythology or religion or magic. In this trans state was able to answer all of his questions correctly. So impressed with this Crowley thought okay this seems to be some evidence that there is some divine hand at work here. And after that getting in touch with somebody that said they were the god Horace I think at that point something happened within his life. He opened himself up to a power that never ever left him which he developed and I believe he was the real thing. I believe that people that came into contact with him came into contact with that which was supernatural evil. He had given himself undone that demonic control and that demonic control could now affect him and could work through him. Crowley heard in my earthly voice from over his left shoulder. For one hour precisely the same time over the next three days Crowley said that the voice dictated to him the book of the law, the work that would become the bible of his new religion. In 1904 Crowley had a communication with an extraterrestrial being named Iwas and this being through his wife kind of a channeling type operation brought forth a book that was called the Book of the Law in 1904 and this book declared that the slain and risen god i.e. Jesus had stepped off the throne and that a new god the crown and conquering child was taking his place. The book of the law is the bible of the religion Crowley was endeavoring to found a book of inspired writings whereby Crowley portrays himself as a medium for some higher force inevitably with an egomaniac like Crowley he finds himself cast in the central role. The book of the law states do what that will to be the home of the law. In other words people have the right to determine exactly how to live their lives regardless of moral and religious boundaries. The focus is to help practitioners engage in spiritual quests that enable them to break through those restrictions so that he or she can be of one mind with his higher self. Crowley taught that the way to communicate with one's personal demon was to reach higher states of mind transes that could not be easily achieved and the best way to reach those special trans states to be able to converse with one's demon was through forms of ritual sex magic. I found my experiences on pure DMT both of them utterly terrifying and if I try to pin down what the terror came from I'm not absolutely sure what it was. It was the the strangeness and the purposive nature of the realm that I had been I had been put into a space where something was going to be done to me and I think I found and I wanted out and at the same time I couldn't get out and that it was almost a feeling of terror and claustrophobia combined with that I was I was thrashing around I wanted out of there but I couldn't go. That experience sort of it was different from any other DMT experience that I had like when I smoked it I felt like I got abducted right at that moment like aliens sort of you know waited for me to smoke my bowl and then they abducted me. The entities you see on DMT are they real or not tall order very difficult to really unpack that for one thing what do you mean by real let's start there again I don't know let's say it's not real in a Carl Jungley it's a shared human archetype what is that programming that you take DMT that you release a little bit of during deep sleep during vivid dreams and a ton of when you die. When he first left the body and I did near death experience himself he went into a realm that was classic. Leather the realm of the demons and the what I would call the the the archons and the the reptilian entities and all this stuff he actually talks about seeing reptilian beings brushing against him and all that stuff. I go through the tunnel, go through a tunnel and I see a hand and it like stops me and I see the fingers mutating it turns in like three fingers and then it starts backing out and then it's the Bahamut like the fucking Satan figure with the goat and shit. Now of course many scientists would say this is just a brain captain this is just just an illusion of your own brain just a brain chemistry. I don't agree with us with those scientists I can't. Like it's occurred to me over the years that what we call imagination might simply be hyperdimensional perception and you're actually seeing worlds and places that truly exist somewhere scattered through the galaxies like grains of sand. You know in the Amazon they believe that that there is an intelligent spirit that lies behind Iwaska they don't think they're dealing with just plants and who will we to say that wrong. The shamans believe that the better intelligent entity that the spirit being lies behind that Iwaska beverage. And he's like well Alex I just don't believe in demons but I did see basically aliens come up from the edge of the forest and we were all saying it and we're all seeing the same thing but I think it was a chemical reaction. You don't have a if you everybody gets drunk we all think about what after us in high school or college or what's good or what's bad we all have different experiences when you're taking a loose surgeon and suddenly you're all seeing the same thing it just means that the filter is off. Alex had become very distant. Sadly as the days passed he became more and more hostile towards me not as violent as he'd been with me in the past like I tolerate that but there was no longer any love for his wife and his child the only thing that mattered to him was Iwas his guardian angel. I The end of our journey I knew I'd eventually leave him. Bringing his mistress's home he would sexually and sadistically abuse them. I thought I would be forced to watch on occasion they would be in our bed whilst I would be hung by my ankles in the closet. Ironically I gave birth once again during that period to a beautiful daughter we named her Lola Zaza. And what happened was a gentleman came knocking at his door after he published a book and in this book it was a book of poetry and in the book he had made an illusion to something and this guy named his name was Theodore Royce he was a German occultist in the head of the OTO the Ordo Templi Orientis which stands for the Order of Eastern Templars there's a knight's Templar again and this Theodore Royce told Crowley that he had given away the greatest secret in the cult history so the guy promptly initiated him on the spot to the ninth degree of the OTO and an explain the secret to him. The secret is that as a mason you are promised immortality. If you go to a Masonic funeral you will hear them discuss the immortality issue you will hear them promise that they will go to the celestial lodge above and live there forever. Where do they get their promise of immortality? Simply the secret that Crowley uncovered probably through demonic intervention is the secret that this immortality is conveyed through timetric sex magic. Whereas for a ceremonial magic you need what is called a temple so a space a place where you do that in section magic the temple is your own body and you use your own body in a way that it can give you access to these dimensions to these other dimensions of reality which are basically the goal of the practice of magic. Crowley found so much value and appealed to this that his practice kind of shifted very much to focus on that for the rest of his life. In 1912 Royce initiated Crowley into three further degrees of OTO proper that is the eighth ninth and tenth degrees making him grandmaster of a new English section. He now had an excuse for using sexual magic and the introduction of bodily fluids to enhance magical power. It instantly flashed upon me the entire symbolism not only of free masonry but of many other traditions belazed upon my spiritual vision. From that moment the OTO assumed significant importance I had found the vehicle for my new meal. for perfume mix meal and honey and thick leaving of red wine. Then oil of abramé lin and olive oil and afterwards softened and smoothed down with rich fresh blood. The best blood is of the moon monthly then the fresh blood of a child or droppings from the host of heaven and of enemies then of the priest or of the worshippers last of some beast at her house. This burn of this make cakes and eaten to me. This have also another use. Let it be laid before me and kept thick with perfumes of your horrors. It shall become full of beetles as it were and creeping things sacred unto me. The shall breed lust and power of lust in me at the eating thereof. Rah or Koo is with thee. Worship me with fire and blood. Worship me with swords and with spears. Let the woman be girt with a sword before me. Let blood flow to my name. Trample down the heathen. Be upon them, O warrior I will give you of their flesh to eat. Sacrifice cattle little and big after a child. You shall see that power of blessed beast and thou the skull at concubine of his desire. Damn them who pity, kill and torture, spare not be upon them. That stale they shall call the abomination of desolation. Now according to Crowley's diary if you would have mass and he would make cakes filled with menstrual blood but he cited his mass the host was made of excrement. So magically speaking blood and semen blood and excrement attract spirits and semen or sperm keeps them alive. When you get deep enough into the occult and you start joining secret societies you basically eventually have to eat shit. You have to drink piss and bathe and blood and all types of just sick degenerate behavior. What are we talking about here? There's a considerable overlap in the United States from the various groups organizations individuals whatever you want to call it but the Sataness today and for the number of years in the past have basically used his in the philosophy and his writings as a guide. Francisco fuster of Miami Florida is convicted on 14 counts of child abuse. This case involved Francisco, his wife and more than 50 children. The children related stories of being forced to eat feces, pose for pornographic pictures, take mine altering drugs, kill animals and submit to anal rape with the crucifix. The children also described the chanting of prayers to Satan. In 1988 23 year old Kelly Michaels was convicted of 115 counts of sexual abuse against 20 children in her care at the Week care nursery school in Maplewood, New Jersey. The accusations included Kelly forcing the children to have sex with her and lick peanut butter off of her genitals, penetrating the rectums and vaginas with knives and forks and forcing them to eat feces and urine. The tales of satanic ritual abuse usually start with touching or fondling then progress to oral, genital and anal penetrations, forced injections of mind altering drugs, monsters or witches enacting bizarre rituals that include defecating and urinating on their victims heads and forcing them to eat feces and drink blood and urine. And finally torture, mutilation and murder. The rituals were almost always filmed, the victims were forced to participate in the murders and often made to eat the flesh and drink the blood of those who had been sacrificed. These were not merely the sadistic acts of pedophiles but the sophisticated techniques by which devil worshipping perpetrators programmed and controlled victims. And now listen to this sentence folks closely. For the highest spiritual working one must accordingly choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force, a male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory and suitable system. We're talking about human sacrifices. Continue to suck to get pricks. You squirted out feuses, fucked up bastards, you watered out into space and none my face. I dedicate myself wholly to the great work. I will work for wickedness. I will kill my heart. I will be shameless before all men. I will freely prostitute my body to all creatures. Our daughter Pupi was born in Paris in February 1920 and moved to the abbey shortly after. We signed the lease for the abbey and joint names. He was Sir Alistair De Curval and I, the Countess Leah Harcourt. Each morning we would put on our magical robes and take our magical weapons outside. He, with his sword or dagger and the women with their chalice, we would all face east and recite a short prayer of the cavalistic cross. Then a noon in the evening and at midnight we would go outside and make our prayers to the sun. Most evenings we would perform acts of sex magic, usually between the three of us. Sometimes with other assistants which Alistair had found on the streets of Sephiroth, or visiting the abbey. He was also taking heroin by then. The end of the day It is so difficult for him to get his message through that you can see that there are moments when the disappointment is so great that it almost leads to complete disillusionment as to his role. So in 1932 he went back to England and he never left England after that day. The centre of his life remained the communication of the message of the Lima. Crowley's attempt to start a new religion in the abbey of Philema had gone desasterously wrong. His reputation as the wickedest man in the world was sealed. The last years of the great beast's life were spent living from hand to mouth. His fortune was long gone and his disciples had deserted him. He moved from one set of temporary lodgings to another and finally ended up in a boarding house in Hastings. His life of excess had left him with nothing but chronic heroin addiction and infamy. Crowley suffered from chronic bronchitis much of his life. This eventually resulted in numerous bouts of asthma for which he was prescribed heroin. This drug proved too strong even for Crowley's will. He remained addicted to heroin the rest of his life. But still he has a lot of energy to the very end. At least intellectual energy is working and writing until the very end. In 1934 Crowley began a liable case against a writer who described him as a black magician. He was desperate for money and believed he might be awarded damages. Examples of Crowley's pornographic poetry were read out in court and then the wife of Rao Lovde, the young man died in the abbey of Thulema, gave evidence of Crowley's depravity. The judge was appalled saying that in 40 years of justice he had never heard of such wickedness. Crowley lost the case and ended up bankrupt. Well the end of Crowley's life was kind of sad because this man who had been his youth enjoyed a great deal of privilege and later years wound up without that. This book's word selling he was very much ostracized in the press. Whenever they needed to sell some papers, you know, Crowley was the you know whipping boy they brought out to write about. He went up living kind of far out of the city. He wanted in the way from a lot of his friends and well you know, wound up dying in his things and some refers to 1940s. I have exposed myself to every form of disease, accident and violence. I have driven myself to delight in dirty and disgusting deportes and to devour human experiments and human flesh. I have mastered every mode of my mind and made myself a morality more severe than any other in the world. A thousand years from now the world will be sitting in the sunset of Crowley's identity. Crowley said, everywhere his government is taking root referring to Horace. Observe for yourself the decay, the sense of sin, the growth of innocence and irresponsibility. The strange modification of the reproductive instincts with the tendency to become bisexual or effecene. The childlike confidence and progress combined with a nightmare of fear to have to be against which we are yet half unwilling to take precautions. Consider the popularity of the cinema, the wireless, football, rules or guessing competitions. All the vices pursuing practice in this no feats of purpose in them. Consider sport, aviation, food, that includes the absence in rages, widget and sights. Pollations disturbed by the disputes of boys. Consider war, the atrocities which occurred daily have led us unmoved and hardly worthy. We are children. Since his death in 1947 Crowley has become an icon of rebellion. The rolling stones David Bally led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page have all been influenced by his message of freedom. All these different artists you would not believe in one after another that was influenced by Crowley. I mean I don't think of any other cultist who has been more influential on rock musicians in Elishto Colley, they're close. Crowley barely influenced people from Adolf Hitler to Timothy Liri to Robert H. Wilson to Harry Hay to Elrond Hubbard. I've been a admire of Alex to Crowley, I think that I'm carrying on much of the work that started over 100 years ago and I think the 60s themselves you know Crowley said do what thou wilt, shall be the home of love. Turn on, tune in and drop out where it turned on and where tune in where it very dropped out. Turn on, tune in and drop out. Millions of dollars would be spent on LSD research at universities throughout the country and word would begin to spread on campus about this so-called mind-blowing grudge and suddenly it was the counterculture of the 60s. I give the CIA a total credit for sponsoring and initiating the entire conscience of this movement, counterculture events of the 1960s. Crowley taught that his satanic doctrine should be cloaked under the lie of love and they believed the youth would fall for it. The Beatles wrote this song come together as a campaign song for Liri's hopeful presidential bid that thank God never got out the ground. The CIA funded and supported and encouraged hundreds of young psychiatrists to experiment with this drug. And one of the men that hit influenced was Alfred Kinsey. After publishing his mail and female reports, Kinsey began to travel abroad and study sexuality in foreign countries. Do you regard black magic as being fuel-infectitious or is there some truth in it? Some truth. 100 percent truth. There is nothing to choose about that magic. In any way, whatever, it is a fact. It is a fact which has existed for several thousand years. Today Crowley's followers believe that he was a true prophet because he foresaw a society that has now embraced ideas of sexual and spiritual freedom. Others are not so sure. Today modern occultism sees a very watered down version of Crowley. They gloss over some of the atrocious things that he did. And they just want to see him as a benign a humanist, somebody who said, let's be free, let's go with the flow. And it is to deny an awful lot of evilness that happened in his practices.
