For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
Aleister Crowley
Image
May the New Year bring you courage to break your resolutions early! My own plan is to swear off every kind of virtue, so that I triumph even when I fall!
Aleister Crowley
Image
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.
Aleister Crowley
Image

Aleister Crowley
Image
Crime, folly, sickness and all phenomena must be contemplated with complete freedom from fear aversion or shame. Otherwise we shall fail to see accurately, and interpret intelligently in which case we shall be unable to outwit and outfight them.
Aleister Crowley
Image
This serpent, SATAN, is not the enemy of Man, but He who made Gods of our race, knowing Good and Evil He bade 'Know Thyself!' and taught Initiation.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Acts which are essentially dishonourable must not be done they would be justified only by calm contemplation of their correctness in abstract cases.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I did not hate God or Christ, but merely the God and Christ of the people whom I hated.
Aleister Crowley
Image
We place no reliance On virgin or pigeon Our Method is Science, Our Aim is Religion.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I've written this to keep from crying. But I am crying, only the tears won't come.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Here again, there is no tabulation for us it is left to sacrifice literary charm, and even some accuracy, in order to bring out the one great point. The cause of human sectarianism is not lack of sympathy in thought, but in speech and this it is our not unambitious design to remedy.
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.

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