The ’Black Magician’ or Sorcerer is hardly even a distant cousin of the ’Black Brother.’ The difference between a sneak-thief and a Hitler is not too bad an analogy… The Black Brothers are highly advanced adepts of the Art who have simply, as the popular phrase goes, ‘been seduced by the dark side of the Force.’

Dear everyone who re-blogged this, Where the fuck did this come from and why did you post this? You know that a guy who died in 1947 did not make Star Wars references? Right? Is this supposed to be a joke, or did you just not think about it? I really want to know.

I found this quote on Bibliotecapleyades.net and accidentally put the rest of the sentence in quotes that is not attributed to Crowley. My bad my bad. The first part is however attributed to him. It’s just tumblr.

And now I know. You can never tell with Thelemites. I wouldn’t say the description was inaccurate. I believe the true Black Brothers are the ones on Madison Ave. and in Hollywood, high-jacking our minds and our culture for their own profit.
I made this so I can put it up on my wall. You fellow writers are welcome to do the same.
LOOK AT HIS DISAPPROVING FACE. WRITE. NOW.
Do I look THAT grumpy? I probably do. But I like the sentiment.
I know, I know…
It’s about manipulating real-time events, dealing with devious “spirits” and other autonomous energy sources. It’s about conjuring dead pop icons to do your bidding and writing it all down so that it reads like an exciting adventure story and changes the world around it. Magic is glamorous, dark and charismatic. “Magic” is the hopelessly inadequate Standard English word for a long-established technology which permits access to the “operating codes” underlying the current physical universe. Becoming a “magician” is a developmental skill, like learning to talk, to reason, to empathize or to see perspective.
Magic, in short, is Life as it is meant to be Lived by adults.

Scenes from L.A.’s growing alchemist problem.
12-19-12, Los Angeles. New graffiti was found at L.A.’s George Carlin High School today marking a new height in the occult graffiti epidemic that plagues the city. Said L.A. Police Commissioner Gordon, “They say the chalk washes away but that’s not the problem here. The issue is that these sigils are made by amateur occultists who don’t always know what they’re doing. They mean to mark their ethereal turf but several of these alignments are capable of awakening Samael.”
Samael, last seen slaughtering the first born sons of Egypt, could not be reached for comment. We at FIMJU wanted more expert testimony however so we invited the mummified head of Necromancer John Dee from its tomb in England for an interview. Said the archetypical wizard, “Where am I? Why hast thou awakened me? Oh how I long to return to the sweet embrace of death, for my every moment awake is an eternity of pain!” Troubling words indeed. Which one brings the Elric’s mom back? hehehehehehehe
