There are no standards of Right. Ethics is balderdash. Each Star must go on its own orbit. To hell with moral principle there is no such thing.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will.
Aleister Crowley
Image
There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.
Aleister Crowley
Image
What is the meaning of Initiation? It is the Path to the realisation of your Self as the sole, the supreme, the absolute of all Truth, Beauty, Purity, Perfection!
Aleister Crowley
Image
What is it in absinthe that makes it a separate cult? The effects of its abuse are totally distinct from those of other stimulants. Even in ruin and in degradation it remains a thing apart: its victims wear a ghastly aureole all their own, and in their peculiar hell yet gloat with a sinister perversion of pride that they are not as other men.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
Aleister Crowley

Magick is the Science of understanding oneself and one's conditions. It is the Art of applying that understanding in action.
Aleister Crowley

It would be unwise to condemn as irrational the practice of devouring the heart and liver of an adversary while yet warm. For the highest spiritual working one must choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force a male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory.

A burnt child dreads the fire.
Aleister Crowley
Image
A white male child of perfect innocence and intelligence makes the most suitable victim.
Aleister Crowley
Image
To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind or, if not, should never be published at all.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Men and women are not free to love decently until they have analyzed themselves completely and swept away every mystery from sex and this means the acquisition of a profound philosophical theory based on wide reading of anthropology and enlightened practice.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I believe in one Gnostic and Catholic Church of Light, Life, Love and Liberty, the Word of whose Law is THELEMA .
Aleister Crowley
Image
All questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal to my writings, each for himself
Aleister Crowley
Image
Toronto as a city carries out the idea of Canada as a country. It is a calculated crime against the aspirations of the soul and the affection of the heart.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I am certainly of opinion that genius can be acquired, or, in the alternative, that it is an almost universal possession.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The nails from a suicide's coffin, and the skull of the parricide, were of course no trouble for Vesquit never traveled without these household requisites.
Aleister Crowley
Image
People think that talking is a sign of thinking. It isn't, for the most part' on the contrary, it's a mechanical dodge of the body to relieve oneself of the strain of thinking, just as exercising the muscles helps the body to become temporarily unconscious of its weight, its pain, its weariness, and the foreknowledge of its doom.
