Fascinating, biting analysis. He held off on publishing it because he knew it would muddy his name if it came out before society was ready to hear it.Chris Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402945887045545024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-59807888854214795172010-01-13T18:52:08.843-08:002010-01-13T18:52:08.843-08:00Anadae-once again can't tell you how much I ap...Anadae-once again can't tell you how much I appreciate this-I was trying to remember details of a dream from last night that were kind of "re-triggered" when I was at Michael's blog-maybe if I stop trying to think so much about it and look at the links -more will come to me-was going to do the last post?? for Crowley tonight-but perhaps tomorrow-just not enough nrg<br />all the best in the world to you my friend!!Devinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08467101354793913827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-22054336062547798112010-01-13T17:10:01.611-08:002010-01-13T17:10:01.611-08:00hey, Devin, hey!

Since you're up & running again, I just found more on some Sex Magick formulæ <a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/dragons2/esp_sociopol_lordring03.htm" rel="nofollow">RIGHT HERE!</a> Use very, very wisely, or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_knot" rel="nofollow">(k)NOT(work)</a> at all. LOL! Also, the most extensive Crowley photo gallery I've ever yet encountered anywhere on the net is <a href="http://tomegatherion.co.uk/images.htm" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. Mega Therion, as you well Gno, was good ol' Aleister's name when working his Arcane Arts, hence the site's name. Enjoy! Oh! Synchronicity alert! My wv for this is ingurnes, Ing's Rune! perfectly fitting, as the Ing rune, is the god Freyr's rune. he's the ruler of the world of the Light-Elves, Lyosalfheim!

Thanks so much for doing this, it has really helped my understanding and sympathy for Crowley. Jeff Fairhall (my own personal "Aiwass") said that the world would call him the most evil man on earth, a nice echo of Aleister's treatment by the FOX media of his day. Of course, Jesus played the same part with the Romans and Jews, being "crucified" in the local press. Horus/Shiva/Jesus... on and on. The same archetype of the unconscious Hero.<br /><br />All the best to you in the new year Devin,<br /><br />MichaelMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531037998720855468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-39635540645484707632010-01-11T21:42:03.728-08:002010-01-11T21:42:03.728-08:00""I need to get laid"

It's a wonderful act. Joyous. <br /><br />We are still living in the hypocrisy he speaks of BTW.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393234934008656683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-16934720979656563372010-01-11T15:26:27.881-08:002010-01-11T15:26:27.881-08:00Okay, Devs, okay!

I just Cerfed the net & found a mini-gem on Crowley's formulæ for Sex Magick <a href="http://www.arcane-archive.org/faqs/sxmgk2ref.php" rel="nofollow">….here!</a> The Magus Mega Therion (Crowley), altho' behaving bisexually most of his life, allegedly died impoverished & such a junkie (read: heroin addict) that his daily consumption OF the drug was enough to kill half a dozen unaddicted individuals. His price for opening a communication with offworld, astral entitities? Methinks "Yes!"<br /><br />Another metaphorically disguised term of his for a combination of semen & female sexual secretions was The Universal Elixir. It was supposed to be a means of greatly accelerating one's awareness. However, as with pretender to the Elven throne (believe me, we're NOT hierarchical) the psuedonymous Nicholas de Vere in his from <a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/dragons/esp_sociopol_dragoncourt02.htm" rel="nofollow">Transylvania to Tunbridge Wells</a>, published, with the help of Tracy R Twyman, as a hard copy trade paperback as The Dragon Legacy: the Secert History of an Ancient Bloodline, de Vere says that that's only possible for those of the Starry Race, the Elves, due to our/their different endocrinological & nervous systems. That is why Crowley himself had held it in such especial reverence.<br /><br />Elven autodidact, Erin D Lindsey writes about that, its efficacy, or not, in her blogticle <a href="http://cyberalfheim.info/magic.html" rel="nofollow">Starfire: The Only True Magic?</a>. Thank you for initiating this incredibly informative series. You're a wellspring of arcane Gnoledge, my friend & brother. please keep passing the torch.<br /><br />From an icy Apple Mountain,<br />Anadæ Effro <a href="http://myspace.com/halamongtera" rel="nofollow">(•8-D</a>Anadæ Quenyan Effrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099936811529384432noreply@blogger.com
