All questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal to my writings, each for himself
Aleister Crowley
Image
The more necessary anything appears to my mind, the most certain it is that I only assert a limitation.
Aleister Crowley

The old spelling MAGICK has been adopted throughout in order to distinguish the Science of the Magi from all its counterfeits.
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

Aleister Crowley
Image

Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley
Image
He shall fall down into a pit called Because, and there he shall perish with the dogs of reason.
Aleister Crowley
Image
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
Image
There is no grace: there is no guilt: This is the Law: DO WHAT THOU WILT!
Aleister Crowley
Image
Part of the public horror of sexual irregularity so-called is due to the fact that everyone knows himself essentially guilty.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Anything which throws light upon the Universe, anything which reveals us to ourselves, should be welcome in this world of riddles.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The key of joy is disobedience.
Aleister Crowley
Image
This complaining rambling rubbish is the substitute which has taken the place of love.

Truth! Truth! Truth! crieth the Lord of the Abyss of Hallucinations

There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.

The most delicious sensation of all is the re-birth of healthy human love. Spring coming back to Earth!
