Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales.
Aleister Crowley

Magic is real. And reality... it is magical.

Imagine listening to Beethoven with the prepossession that C is a good note and F a bad one yet this is exactly the stand point from which all uninitiates contemplate the universe. Obviously, they miss the music.

The Holy Guardian Angel is the spiritual Sun of the Soul of the Adept.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I do not want to father a flock, to be the fetish of fools and fanatics or the founder of a faith whose followers are content to echo my opinions. I want each man to cut his own way through the jungle.
Aleister Crowley

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
It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Since all things are God, in all things thou seest just so much of God as thy capacity affordeth thee.

Sanity is a compromise.
Aleister Crowley

The True Will is thus both determined by its equations, and free because those equation are simply its own name, spelt out fully.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Do not imagine that art or anything else is other than high magic! - is a system of holy hieroglyph. The artist, the initiate, thus frames his mysteries. The rest of the world scoff, or seek to understand, or pretend to understand some few obtain the truth.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Ever man is eternally alone. But when you get mixed up with a fairly decent crowd, you forget that appalling fact for long enough to give your brain time to recover from the acute symptoms of its disease - that of thinking.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The man who denounces life merely defines himself as the man who is unequal to it.
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 did not hate God or Christ, but merely the God and Christ of the people whom I hated.
