The Holy Guardian Angel is the spiritual Sun of the Soul of the Adept.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say no. I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions I only know that it is irresistible.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Every incarnation that we remember must increase our comprehension of ourselves as who we are.

Aleister Crowley
Image
Morality can muddle mystical understanding and virtue is only necessary in so far as it favours success. All wisdom must be encompassed in order to achieve enlightenment.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Practically, Science is true and Faith is foolish.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The intention of this Book of The Law is perfectly simple. Whatever your sexual predilections may be, you are free, by the Law of Thelema, to the the star you are, to go your own way rejoicing.
Aleister Crowley
Image
There is a single main definition of the object of all magical Ritual. It is the uniting of the Microcosm with the Macrocosm. The Supreme and Complete Ritual is therefore the Invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel or, in the language of Mysticism, Union with God.

The absolute rule of the state shall be a function of the absolute liberty of each individual will.

There are hardly half a dozen writers in England today who have not sold out to the enemy. Even when their good work has been a success, Mammon grips them and whispers: More money for more work.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Every one interprets everything in terms of his own experience. If you say anything which does not touch a precisely similar spot in another man's brain, he either misunderstands you, or doesn't understand you at all.
