Hello, /occult/. Trying to help revive a dead board here.

Anyone interested in Thelema or, in a broader sense, the works of Aleister Crowley. I often see it/him disparaged on /x/ and /fringe/. I never understood why. It is a marginally "popular" current of occultism and thus attracts a lot of people of varying quality. But I don't think a system should be judged by the failings of its practitioners.

For those unfamiliar or interested in learning more, most works are available online or easily found through torrents.

Aleister Crowley was a drug addict, alcoholic, fucked men, and possibly lied to by demons.

I'm very interested in Thelema as the new sticky hopefully shows.

93s to any thelemites out there who might read this old ass post and actually think demons can be a threat to even a fucking Probationer initiated in the GD- there is enough of his work which makes it clear and open to the public despite what most thelemites will tell you face to face that its a shame so few newbies realize that crowley was only an organ of thelema a vessel of transmission and not its leader, not then-unles you were an idiot (and crowley treated his students as they expected to be treated) and certainly not now. i'm a thelemite and i think that crowley is anything more then another practitioner of the Great Work is not any sort of thelemic hero… the only hero a thelemite should have is him or herself. check out liber alef or magick without tears and even crowley will agree he is no fucking role model even for occult practice… your more basic education in most thelemic orders even in his time is dont be an addict or slave to anything or substance or dogma… how simple and yet how hard for you people to understand 93, 93/93

Be very careful following any of Crowley's teaching or workings..

At the heart of all of it, he appeared to be attempting to bring balance to the world, to rebirth Babylon.. However he seemed to really go off the deep end.

His house is still considered "off limits" and cursed to this day.

I would not be surprised if some of his teachings were to personally bring him power or prestige.

Take everything with a grain of salt, there is wisdom in his words, but there may be insanity there as well.
