Sit still. Stop thinking. Shut up. Get out! The first two of these instructions comprise the whole of the technique of Yoga. The last two are of a sublimity which it would be improper to expound in this present elementary stage.
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
Your friends will notice at once that glib vacuities fail to impress, and hate you, and tell lies about you. It's worth it.

Image
Paganism is wholesome because it faces the facts of life.

Aleister Crowley

Man has the right . . . to play as he will . . . to think what he will: to speak what he will: to write what he will: to draw, paint, carve, etch, mould, build as he will: to dress as he will.

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
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
This formula of Love is universal all the laws of Nature are its servitors. Thus, gravitation, chemical affinity, electrical potential, and the rest - and these are alike mere aspects of the general law - are so many differently-observed statements of the unique tendency.
Aleister Crowley
Image
It will be seen that the formula - 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' has nothing to do with 'Do as you please.' It is much more difficult to comply with the Law of Thelema than to follow out slavishly a set of dead regulations.

I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky.
Aleister Crowley
Image
It is necessary that we stop, once for all, this ignorant meddling with other people's business. Each individual must be left free to follow his own path.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
