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
We place no reliance On virgin or pigeon Our Method is Science, Our Aim is Religion.
Aleister Crowley
The key of joy is disobedience.
Aleister Crowley
I am certainly of opinion that genius can be acquired, or, in the alternative, that it is an almost universal possession.
Aleister Crowley
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
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
When one walks, one is brought into touch first of all with the essential relations between one's physical powers and the character of the country one is compelled to see it as its natives do. Then every man one meets is an individual.
Aleister Crowley
Tell the truth, but lead so improbable a life that the truth will never be believed.
Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley
To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.
Aleister Crowley
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
It is only necessary to destroy in oneself the roots of those motives which determine a man's course, in order to enjoy the omnipotence and immunity of a god.
Aleister Crowley
Sanity is a compromise.
Aleister Crowley
As soon as you put men together, they somehow sink, corporatively, below the level of the worst of the individuals composing it. Collect scholars on a club committee, or men of science on a jury all their virtues vanish, and their vices pop out, reinforced by the self-confidence which the power of numbers is bound to bestow.
Aleister Crowley
I'm a poet, and I like my lies the way my mother used to make them.
Aleister Crowley
I hardly ever talk- words seem such a waste, and they are none of them true. No one has yet invented a language from my point of view.
Aleister Crowley
The first task of the Magician in every ceremony is therefore to render his Circle absolutely impregnable.
Aleister Crowley
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
The Holy Guardian Angel is the spiritual Sun of the Soul of the Adept.
Aleister Crowley
I have been accused of being a ‘black magician.’ No more foolish statement was ever made about me. I despise the thing to such an extent that I can hardly believe in the existence of people so debased and idiotic as to practice it.
