To tell you more, NASA founders were discovering fuel for rockets combining quemical experiments with witchcraft as they were direct followers of this shame of human, and all famous bands like led zeppelin Beatles black sabbath they are worshipping ALEISTER CROWLEY, and is not the only one. The majority of the humanity pray to satan so their idols are all demons, footballers, singers, politicians, religions, false idols for false people. That's why the only we can do in this world is refuse to have any power. Power is dangerous. Sodomy is self punishment that's what this people do, get powers from entities in change of pain hahahah ridiculous

Macdonald reported his sighting to Loch Ness water bailiff Alex Campbell, and described the creature as looking like a salamander. Crowley would only have been about 13 then.

    It was actually, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law. Love under will.” It’s the law of 93, or Thelema. So, it wasn’t about doing what you want while discounting everyone else.

    • @wolfil8019
      @wolfil8019 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      And the phrase "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" (as well as the word Thelema in relationship to that phrase) came from Rabelais. In "Gargantua and Pantagruel", a sensual, life-loving monk opens an abbey for men and women together that he calls "the Abbey of Thelema", and the motto over the door of the abbey was: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law". The practice of the abbey was basically the epicurian enjoyment of life. Crowley borrowed all of this from Rabelais for his own Thelemic practice.

      @Salty Pete This is true, but most people today (who have not studied ancient Greek philosophy) simply see Epicureanism as a more refined form of hedonism ... Of course, one may debate just how refined Crowley's hedonism was. But that debate doesn't interest me.

    Your research on this one is a bit off (understandably, he was a man who intended to be misunderstood deliberately). Crowley's works were allegorical political treatises on Anarchism, cloaked in religious terms to avoid censorship. "Spiritualism" was very fashionable back then, and was a hodge-podge of superstitions with no codified belief system. This made it easy to adapt to his message and lent some mystery and infamy. The more theatrical he got, the more his legend grew, the more his influence spread.
    He's hardly the first person to throw himself into a larger-than-life persona to reach an audience, taking his queue from Egyptian Pharohs, and many have done it since... A lot of his exploits are real, but many are also exaggerated. Imagine the "Satanic Panic" of the 80s, but way bigger. Picture someone like Marilyn Manson in Edwardian England, lol. That's the reaction he got, and he used it effectively by feeding into the hyperbole instead of denying it. People are easier to persuade in a state of shock.
    As to his philosophy, it boils down to "look out for yourself, don't trust those who claim to have your best interests in mind". He was an anti-government populist of sorts. He was extremely against violence, yet paradoxically advocated for it, mostly for rhetorical purposes, making such outlandish claims that people would adopt the opposite position purely out of disgust for what he said. If the devil tells you to do something, you do the opposite, immediately and secure in the belief you're doing good, even if you don't fully understand what you're doing or why. What's the truth, which parts of his life were just legend? It doesn't matter, he made so much effort to blur those lines, we may never pick it apart. But look at the results of his actions, rather than the actions themselves and you can see a distinct method to the madness.

That in fact, it was all allegorical politics with no real intention of magic at all? I would be very interested to know where you had got this from, I would love to hear more. I have been interested in him for years but I had always taken him at his word and never thought him to be anything other than someone who thought they were a magician. That's how I have always seen him portrayed anyway.

      You start off the way i was. Just a bit off, but he went straight off of Wikipedia which changed what they have said about Crowley. Crowleys biggest thing was the OTO Ordo Templi orientis with Carl kellnar and Theodore Reuss. Whom he met in Egypt. Wikipedia used to say Crowley talked to aiwass on 4/8/38 at the ashdown park hotel. I suppose he could of in Egypt as well. However you dont know the truth neither. Crowley was a baphomet plagiarist. Pretty much everything came from a book called the book of abramelin. Written in the 13 or 1400s. About a jew from worms, Germany and What is known as the abramelin rituals. Plus a book called mathematicall magick by John Wilkins in 1648. All these books and more are at Bodleian library in Oxford. Which I'm sure Crowley read while going to Cambridge. Its were Crowley got his k in magic. Crowley was just a thief and a liar. There was no aiwass. Just a plagiarist pile of vomit for a dog.
      Peace and agap'e.

    Its a shame you didnt include how Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris worked together to created the Thoth Tarot cards. What started out as a short project turned into years before the cards were finished. Crowley would describe to Harris his vision of the cards while he was on heroin and other hallucinogenics. Harris was beaten and forced to paint each major acarna card multiple times before Crowley approved of the artwork.
    Neither Crowley or Harris lived to see the cards printed.
    There is no other tarot deck like Crowleys Thoth Tarot, its truly incredible!

    I have read that Aleister Crowley would have Chess Matches against other members of the Golden Dawn using Visualization only. Sitting across from one another, they would Visualize a board and Pieces an call out moves using their minds only. While a 3rd Member recorded the moves. If true, He had a fantastic ability to Concentrate an keep his mind on the Match.
