Image
Every intentional act is a magical act.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Unspeakable is the variety of form and immeasurable the diversity of beauty, but in all is the seal of unity.

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
Image
Tell the truth, but lead so improbable a life that the truth will never be believed.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I believe in one Gnostic and Catholic Church of Light, Life, Love and Liberty, the Word of whose Law is THELEMA .
Aleister Crowley
Image
There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.
Aleister Crowley

Initiation means the Journey Inwards: nothing is changed or can be changed but all is trulier understood with every step.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Happiness lies within one's self, and the way to dig it out is cocaine.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The ordinary man looking at a mountain is like an illiterate person confronted with a Greek manuscript.
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.

Love is the only principle which makes life tolerable.
