On the Occasion of One Aleister Crowley’s Birthday

Dear Thelemite Friends,

I love you people. I mean that sincerely. You are a groovy bunch of folks who know how to be intellectual and throw a party. I am asking in all sincerity, why do you follow this shit head?

I am told I need to separate the work from the man. Someone should have told him that. I quote:

“The First Gesture: The Oath of the Enchantment, which is called the Elevenfold Seal.

The Animadversion Towards the Aeon

Let the Magician, robed and armed as he may deem to be fit, turn his face towards Boleskine that is the House of The Beast 666.”

What the fuck? I am supposed to face towards this self-important prick’s house? This is his work, not his personal life I’m on about. Seriously, can someone explain to me why this is magick worth pursuing? I’m waiting.
