Every incarnation that we remember must increase our comprehension of ourselves as who we are.
Aleister Crowley

Astrology has no more useful function than this, to discover the inmost nature of a man and to bring it out into his consciousness, that he may fulfil it according to the law of light.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Love is the law, love under will.
Aleister Crowley
Image
A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.
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
The man who denounces life merely defines himself as the man who is unequal to it.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Practically, Science is true and Faith is foolish.

Aleister Crowley
Image
The Quest of the Holy Grail, the Search for the Stone of the Philosophers-by whatever name we choose to call the Great Work-is therefore endless. Success only opens up new avenues of brilliant possibility.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The few love affairs which had come my way had been rather silly and sordid. They had not revealed the possibilities of love in fact I had thought it a somewhat overrated pleasure, a brief and brutal blindness with boredom and disgust hard on its heels.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Sex is the sacred song of the soul Sex is the sanctuary of Self.
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
I was asked to memorise what I did not understand and, my memory being so good, it refused to be insulted in that manner.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Inevitably anyone with an independent mind must become 'one who resists or opposes authority or established conventions': a rebel. If enough people come to agree with, and follow, the Rebel, we now have a Devil. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have --- Greatness.

Alas the Master so he sinks in death. But whoso knows the mystery of man Sees life and death as curves of the same plan
