… he could not serve a writ on a man with an address in the telephone directory, who was spending hundreds of pounds on letting the whole world know where to find him. It was perhaps unkind of me not to warn Mr. Cran that he was putting his foot in it. But if I had said a word, the case would have been thrown up; and then where would our advertisement have been? So, even now, I restrict my remarks; there may be some more fun coming. But at least there’s a prophet loose! Some anonymous person wrote Cran, Cran, McGregor’s man, Served a writ, and a…

… with that great and universal aspiration of the human soul. One only thing, which is to all most evidently divine, is manifested in the world. It is charity. The work of true religion should be to produce, to preserve, and to spread abroad the spirit of charity. To arrive at this end she must herself possess all the characteristics of charity, in such a manner that one could define her satisfactorily, in naming her, “ Organic Charity.” Now, what are the characteristics of charity? It is St. Paul who will tell us. Charity is patient. Patient li…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…eason that it did not really exist! My innate transcendentalism leapt out towards it. The Morte d'Arthur, Lohengrin and Parsifal were my world. I not only wanted to go out on the quest of the Holy Grail, I intended to do it. I got the idea of chastity as a positive virtue. It was delightful to be pure. Previously, chastity had been my chief abomination; the sign-manual of cowardice, heartlessness and slavery. In the Celtic Church there was no fear of God, but a communion with Him as nobly familiar as the relations of Roland and Charlemagne. I s…

Nor hath he been at any time tasted of any. Yet he is everywhere; in all, and causer of all, and apart from all. By profession he is a curator in the British Museum; but that is going very low indeed upon the plane of Maya. I have already told you, said the big man, that Mr. Jones is the Unutterable Tao. Why not leave it at that? I will, said Basil, if Arthur wi…
