My final 2026 public consumption mix (vs the echoy version i made more for myself) of my reading of the Book of the Law.

I gifted myself a set of #colouredpencils and decide to test it out with a random #Crowley because I haven't painted him in too long! 🩵
Hype for the Future 174Q: Crowley’s Ridge
Introduction Along the Mississippi River watershed and within the general region of the Mississippi Embayment is the unusual geological formation known as Crowley’s Ridge, notable for containing a relatively higher elevation along a particular north-south ridge line approximately paralleling the Mississippi River at a reasonable distance to the east. Communities The vast majority of communities of any significant size within the Arkansas Delta region are effectively forced into the […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/04/23/hype-for-the-future-174q-crowleys-ridge/
Wow the @hermeticlibrary is REAL pissed off at me now! Gosh maybe I should start taking Aleister #Crowley to little pieces. I think there's a lot of folks in #magic, or #magick if you like, who would be glad to see Crowley finally kicked into irrelevance.
But the question is: what exactly is Crowley actually relevant for? What did he do that is still considered, at least by a residue of hardcore ceremonial mages, worthy of being commemorated and celebrated still?
I haven't collected enough information to be sure of my guess here, but I suspect that Aleister Crowley ought to be remembered in much the same way that Mrs. O'Leary's cow is remembered (in fables) as the being who incited the Great Chicago Fire. It's my suspicion that Crowley must have pulled off one big ritual that...opened the floodgates, as it were, and brought the Great God Pan rampaging back into the world to addle the heads of Western occultists and make them think that anything was possible, because that's what Pan does—he tempts foolish human beings with the intoxicating possibility of Anything, itself. Under the influence of the Great God Pan, for a little while, all things seem within reach.
There was a time when Christians could proclaim (fortified by Plutarch) that Pan was dead. Then there came a time when that was definitely no longer true. Who was responsible for that change? I suggest that it may have been Aleister Crowley.
But was that a deed worth celebrating? Should we therefore remember Crowley forever? 😬 I uh...no. No, I don't think so. It was a disaster, maybe an inevitable disaster, but it happened, and it's been a damaging influence on Western occultism and magic practice ever since.

Here is the YouTube version with the lyrics. YouTube wouldn't let me post the uncensored version because of Mathilda May's boobies. I also thought the silly bestiality wolf-on-woman cartoon was a factor, but evidently bestiality is cool, but tits are not.
We live in such an ass-backwards puritanical culture. 🙄

It's been another busy week of work, but I'm not totally ignorant of the fact that we have a date now! Have a #Crowley I forgot to post when I painted it, to celebrate! 🎉
