Mx. Chara Aznable (they/them) of PnictogenWow 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.

Superstars of the ApocalypseHere 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. 🙄

Reverend ElvisThrough the fateful influence of J R “Bob” Dobbs, I came into contact with the Hermeticists on a transcendental level.
When I read that they practice open access occultism, I became somewhat skeptical. To me, it sounds like an open house at the Freemasons. I'm no linguist, but occult and open seem to me to be very contradictory terms. Anyway, since I had also read Joseph Ratzinger, I thought I was prepared. I had a random card drawn from the Crowley Tarot, and it was the “Prince of Discs.” -- Wow. The Hermeticists interpret this as follows:
The Prince of Disks represents the airy part of Earth, indicating the florescence and fructification of that element. He rules from the 21st degree of Aries to the 20th degree of Taurus.
The figure of this Prince is meditative. He is the element of Earth become intelligible. Clothed in light armour, his helmet is crowned with the head of a bull; and his chariot is drawn by an ox, this animal being peculiarly sacred to the Element of Earth. In his left hand he holds his disk, which is an orb resembling a globe, marked with mathematical symbols as if to imply the planning involved in agriculture. In his right hand he bears an orbed sceptre surmounted by a cross, a symbol of the Great Work accomplished; for it is his function to bring forth from the material of the element that vegetation which is the sustenance of the Spirit itself.
The character denoted by this card is that of great energy brought to bear upon the most solid of practical matters. He is energetic and enduring, a capable manager, a steadfast and per severing worker. He is competent, ingenious, thoughtful, cautious, 'trustworthy, imperturbable; he constantly seeks new uses for common things, and adapts his circumstances to his purposes in a slow, steady, well-thought out plan.
He is lacking almost entirely in emotion. He is somewhat in sensitive, and may appear dull, but he is not; it so appears because he makes no effort to understand ideas which are beyond his scope. He may often appear stupid, and is inclined to be resentful of more spiritual types. He is slow to anger, but, if driven, becomes implacable. It is not very practicable to distinguish between the good and evil dignities in this card; one can merely say that, in case of his being ill-dignified, both the quality and quantity of his characteristics are somewhat degraded. The reaction of others to him will depend almost entirely upon their own temperaments.
In the Yi King, the airy part of Earth is represented by the 53rd hexagram, Kien. The commentary concerns the flight of wild geese, “gradually approaching the shore”, then “the large rocks”, then “advanced to the dry plains-the trees-the high ~ finally, to “the large heights”. It thus symbolizes slow, steady emancipation from repressive conditions.
The description is even happier than that given by the Qabalah, although in every way congruous with it. Practical considerations are never absent from Chinese thought, even at its most abstruse and metaphysical. The fundamental heresy of the Black Lodge is con tempt for “the world, the flesh, and the devil”, all which are essential to the plan of the Universe; it is cardinal to the Great Work for the Adept so to order affairs that “even the evil germs of Matter shall alike become useful and good”.
The error of Christian Mystics on this point has been responsible for more cruelty, misery, and collective insanity than all others put together; its poison can be traced even in the teaching of Freud, who assumed that the Unconscious was “the devil”, whereas in fact it is the instinct which expresses, beneath a veil, the inherent Point-of-View of each, and, properly understood, is the key to Initiation, and a hint of what seed may blossom and fructify as the “Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel”. For “Every man and every woman is a star”.
