Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…ost plausible imitations fail to deceive, hard as it may be to say in so many words what strikes one as suspicious. Now, The Book of the Law guarantees itself by so closely woven a web of internal evidence of every kind, from Cabbalistic and mathematical proofs, and those depending on future events and similar facts, undeniably beyond human power to predict or to produce, that it is unique. The thirty Aethyrs being, however, only second in importance, though very far away, to that Book, the Lords of Vision were at pains to supply internal evide…

…deep one; but try to understand it." Lisa nodded. "We know that the planets move at certain rates in certain paths, and we know that the laws which govern them are the same as those which made Newton's apple fall. But Newton couldn't explain the law, and he said that he found himself quite unable to imagine a force acting at a distance, as gravitation it, (so called) appears to do. Science was hard put to it, and had finally to invent a substance called the ether, of which there was no evidence, only it must be there! But this ether had so many…

…re with‐ out opposition; hence the card proclaims the idea of authority in the intellectual world. It is the establishment of dogma, and law concerning it. It represents a refuge from mental chaos, chosen in an arbitrary manner. It argues for convention. The hilts of the four Swords are at the corner of a St. Andrew’s cross. Their shape sug‐ gests fixation and rigidity. Their points are sheathed—in a rather large rose of forty‐nine pet‐ als representing social harmony. Here, too, is compromise. Minds too indolent or too cowardly to think out th…

So stung by certainty’s mistrust, Or tranced in dream of sin, Or blinded by some Panic dust, By Dionysian din Deafened, arose the laughing lust To fling my body in! I stood upon the rock, and cried, And held my body high (Not caring if I lived or died) Erect against the sky: Then plunged into the wheeling tide, And vanished utterly. ‘*O shape half s…

Nay, but no wind will drive our fortalice (So strong against the sun) to where they ply Those pallid wings, or turn our vessel’s beak With utmost fury to the North, to dye
