Scented Garden Of Abdullah The Satirist Of Shiraz Cover

Book: Scented Garden Of Abdullah The Satirist Of Shiraz by Aleister Crowley

One of Crowley's rarest works: part homo-erotic parody, and part mystical text. As described in Crowley scholar Martin P. Starr's Introduction to the 1991 facsimile edition, there were only 200 copies of the book printed, but many of these were destroyed in a customs seizure not long after publication, so that even before the beginning of the First World War Crowley was speaking of its rarity. A second customs seizure (1924) depleted the number of surviving copies yet further, and it is consequently one of Crowley's rarest works.

A Documentary About Aleister Crowley Erotic Frescos Thelema Abbey

A Documentary About Aleister Crowley Erotic Frescos Thelema Abbey Cover In 1955, Kenneth Anger made a voyage to Cefalu in Sicily to shoot a documentary about Aleister Crowley’s erotic frescos, Thelema Abbey.
“The film was made for Houlton Television which was a branch of Picture Post an extinct British Magazine. They lost it. I tried to find it and it’s untraceable. I lived in Crowley’s house, alone, but that kind of thing doesn’t bother me. I had to. It was the only way to get it done. I spent three months there scraping the whitewash, which had turned to stone, off the walls. It was a big job, but one of the most exciting things I have ever done. They were still there – all those hyper-psychedelic murals: goblins and demons in fabulous color, scarlet and pumpkin-red. Actually they were good paintings, similar in feel to Ensor.”

Well, this film seems to be lost, but here you can find another film from Anger about Crowley’s paintings. And here is a montage of photos (not from Anger) showing Thelema Abbey and its frescos.

Anger also planned to do a bio-pic about Crowley that would “intersperse Crowley’s spiritual life with contemporary events, such as the sinking of the Titanic.” At one time there was talk about Nicol Williamson playing the lead.

From 1950 – 1961 Anger lived in Paris. During his stay he became friends with Langlois – founder of the Cinematheque Francaise - and Cocteau whose Le jeune homme et la mort Anger tried to adapt for the screen. Other projects were Lautreamonts Les Chants de Maldoror and L’Histoire d’O.

For Maldoror he had already filmed “the hymn to the ocean , on the beach at Deauville, with Rosella Hightower and members of the Marquis de Cuevas Ballet. They danced in the sea, tables were placed beneath the water line so the dancers could stand on their points. It looked as if they were standing on waves.”
“I also managed to film the war of the flies and pins. I put bags of pins and dozens of flies into a glass container; revolved the container and filmed in close-up. As the pins dropped, the flies zig-zagged to escape. In slow-motion, an impressive image.”
It seems that the surrealists, who were always somewhat peculiar about ventures based on Lautreamont’s work, threatened Anger. But the main reason for not completing it was – what else – lack of money.

It was no problem for Anger to get the permission to film Histoire d’O, as its publisher was Jean-Jacques Pauvert, who also published Anger’s own Hollywood Babylon. This time it seemed that he would get the money he needed to complete the film when other problems emerged.

“I was helped by the boyfriend of the girl playing O. It turned out that this money was bounty from the kidnapping of Eric Peugeot – grandson of the auto magnate. I knew nothing about this. I found out in a very abrupt manner. The young man was arrested and I was questioned about the money being used for my film. The young lady playing O was the daughter of a minister. Her parents knew nothing about her being in the film and when they did find out filming came to an instant halt.”

Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law

Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law Cover Most Thelemites hold that every person possesses a True Will, a single overall motivation for their existence. The Law of Thelema mandates that each person follow their True Will to attain fulfillment in life and freedom from restriction of their nature. Because no two True Wills can be in real conflict (according to "Every man and Every Woman is a star"), this Law also prohibits one from interfering with the True Will of any other person. The notion of absolute freedom for an individual to follow his or her True Will is a cherished one among Thelemites. This philosophy also recognizes that the main task of an individual setting out on the path of Thelema is to first discover his or her True Will, giving methods of self-Exploration such as magick great importance. Furthermore, every True Will is different, and because each person has a unique point-of-view of the universe, no one can determine the True Will for another person. Each person must arrive at the discovery for themselves.

Liber 031 Qbl Or The Brides Reception Cover

Book: Liber 031 Qbl Or The Brides Reception by Aleister Crowley

Q.B.L., or The Bride's Reception, the first of Achad's major qabalistic works. His radical reassignment of the attributions of the paths is first intimated in an appendix to this book. (from wikipedia.org)

Q. B. L. or The Bride's Reception is a masterpiece of Qabalah and controversy. Its importance to the world of modern occult literature can be measured not only by its value as a remarkably understandable textbook of the fundamental principles of Qabalah, but also because it offers us a rare glimpse into the heart and mind of a brilliant and sincere seeker of wisdom and truth. (from Lon Milo DuQuette)

The Secret Of Kells

The Secret Of Kells Image
DIR. TOMM MOORE (GKIDS) -- 5 STARS

By Elizabeth D. Pyjov, CONTRIBUTING WRITER What happens when you put together an orphan living in a medieval abbey, a Celtic manuscript with magical powers, a spunky fairy residing in the forest, Vikings who are about to attack, and a serpent god who ends up devouring itself after being conquered by the chalk of destiny?

What you get is "The Secret of Kells," a 75-minute independent Irish film directed by Tomm Moore and nominated for best animated feature at this year's Academy Awards. It is a mesmerizing and poetic film that combines narrative momentum, conceptual depth, and an impressively stylized aesthetic.

This breathtaking adventure movie is original in many ways. "The Secret of Kells" is 95 percent hand-drawn, a technique nearly abandoned since the Disney Golden Age, and it stands out as a visual gem. Moore uses vibrant colors to create an innovative animation which weaves together medieval Celtic art and unique, contemporary imagery. On a plot level, the stakes in the film are not so much about losing one's life as losing sacred spiritual knowledge.

The protagonist of "The Secret of Kells" is Brendan, a charming 12-year-old red-headed boy. The film follows Brendan's journey as he tries to understand what is important, decides who to obey and disobey, and courageously searches for his own path. The authority he has always looked up to is his stern uncle, Abbot Cellach, who prioritizes, above all, the construction of a wall that would protect the abbey against a Viking attack. But Brendan soon meets Aidan, an abbot who believes in finishing and preserving a sacred manuscript. This manuscript will become the Book of Kells, today regarded as Ireland's finest national treasure.

The misunderstanding Moore presents between Cellach and Aidan is the kind that could occur between a Silicon Valley tycoon and a Harvard Classics professor. The two abbots, one prioritizing physical defense and the other prioritizing books, synthesize an urgent dilemma: how does one choose between technological and intellectual development? Moore examines the power of material strength versus the power of ideas, and to what extent one is necessary for the other.

According to Cellach, "It is through the strength of our walls that [others] will come to trust the strength of our books," and the goal of the construction is "to save civilization, to save our book." Aidan, however, believes that "people must have books so they may have hope."

The disagreement between the two raises the question of whether it is more important to prepare oneself for the future materially or spiritually, and whether it is more important to guard or to spread knowledge. Protection against the outside can manifest itself either in physical isolation or in intellectual and spiritual enlightenment. When the Vikings attack, Brendan says he must make ink, because while people die, their work remains, and walls can be destroyed more easily than books or faith.

In "The Secret of Kells," Moore makes an important reconciliation between structured civilization and the natural world. As Brendan contemplates whether or not to disobey his uncle and venture out into the forest, Aidan tells him, "You learn more from the trees and rocks and see more miracles in the forest than in any other place-this is what the abbots knew long ago." Moore links the two visually, showing similar symbols inside the abbey and outside in nature. In the forest, two orphans, a girl and a boy, one from the natural pagan world, and the other from Christianized civilization, meet and become friends. She teaches him to climb a tree, while he explains to her what a book is.

Moore's message that spirituality is inherent in all living things is very powerful-somewhat similar to the message James Cameron was trying to portray in "Avatar" but without the commercial cheesiness.

"The Secret of Kells" is enchanting and imaginative. It is funny, at times scary, and always beautiful. Moore effortlessly intertwines historical facts with visions, legends, and imagination, as he presents universal ideas within the make-believe.

A Page Out Of The Demons Book

A Page Out Of The Demons Book Cover Before I found Treadwells Bookshop in Covent Garden, I had been in hiding from all things Arcane for a few years. This was due a spontaneous, prolonged, and shattering Initiation by the Horned God shortly after I moved into a bedsitting room close to Hampstead Heath. I had also been the target of constant, virulent psychic attacks from, in her own words, The Overseer of All Tarot Readers in London. (It took two years of being back in the States to realize who was behind these attacks. She’s that good.) Apparently she resented my thriving practice as a Tarot Reader in Camden Lock Market, as well as the fact that I didn’t bow and scrape to her. Why would I? As an American, that type of obeisance wouldn’t even occur to me. All the time I was London, I didn’t think of this woman because I so seldom saw her. I thought the Universe was trying to destroy me, that the Goddess, and the Faery Realm, had turned against me. I was wrong.

For the first time in my life, I wanted nothing to do with Magic or Practitioners of Magic. This led to a Dark Night of the Soul, for never had I felt so isolated, so cut off from the sources of life and inspiration.

Religion Belief Esoteric Dimension And Gnosis Of Immanence

Religion Belief Esoteric Dimension And Gnosis Of Immanence Image
1.

la ilaha illa Allah

there is no other reality but The Singular Reality

2.

Immanent: Im"ma*nent - Adjective

Present within; inherent; indwelling; abiding; intrinsic;

(of God) permanently pervading the universe. [Oxford]

Immanence: Im"ma*nence - Noun

The condition or quality of being immanent. [1913 Webster]

ORIGIN from Latin immanere 'remain within'.

3.

... And beware, beware if you believe that our Lord is veiled from us by solid or subtle things: by God, no! illusion (wahm, arbitrary imagination which obscures and misleads) is the only thing which veils Him from us and illusion is empty. As the saint Ibn 'Ata-Illah says in his Hikam: "God is not veiled from you by some reality existing apart from Him, since there is no reality outside of Him; what veils Him from you is but the illusion that there can be a reality apart from Him."

We observe - but God is Perfect Knower - that this extinction takes place, God willing, in the least possible time, by means of a certain method of calling upon the Name of Majesty: Allah.

I came upon this method in the work of the Venerable Master, the Saint Abul-Hasan ash-Shadhili (may God be well pleased with him)... It consists of visualizing the letters of the Name while saying, Allah, Allah, Allah. Each time the letters dissolved in imagination, I revisualized them and if they dissolved a thousand times during the day and a thousand times during the night, I continued a thousand times a day and a thousand times a night to revisualize them.

This method give me moments of immense insight when I practiced it for a little more than a month at the beginning of my spiritual path. It brought me greater knowledge as well as intense awe (haybah, state when the soul experiences in the face of the terrifying Majesty of God, Jalal), but I paid no heed to it, occupied as I was in calling upon the Name and visualizing the letters until the month ended.

Then a thought forced itself in my attention: "God, be He exalted, says that He is the First and the Last, the Outer and the Inner." (Quran LVII, 2). To being with, I turned away from this thought that crept in, resolved not to listen to it, and I continued to do my exercise; my refusal to listen to it, just as I did not accept its way of acting and did not listen to it. But finally, since it would hardly leave me in peace at all, I answered it: "As for His words saying that He is the First and the Last and that He is the Inner, I understand them quite well; but I do not understand His expression that He is 'the Outer', because all I see on the outside are created things."

To this the voice answered: "If by His expression 'The Outer' He meant something other than the outer world which we see, it would not be outside, but inside (that we would have to look for it). But I say to thee: "He is the Outer." Then I realized that there is no reality save God and nothing in the Cosmos but Him, praise and thank be to God.

4.

'Lo! God is nearer to you than your jugular vein' - affirms the Final Testament.

Divine Reality is Qarib, The Near Most, yet Latif, The Most Subtle.

Alas! He is Nearmost but through our veiled perception, negative maya or illusion it is we, and only we who are far from Him! May God elevate our stations so that we may arrive to realize His Presence wheresoever we turn. Indeed that is the reality of 'Garden' in Islamic tradition or 'Kingdom' in Christian tradition, where His Presence is never veiled or absent.

waosjud, waiqtarib.

.. Bow down in adoration, and bring thyself closer.

- The Quran 96:19

Rituals And Spell Objectives Purple Magic

Rituals And Spell Objectives Purple Magic Cover
A large proportion of all the cults throughout history have shared one particular characteristic. They have been led by a charismatic man able to persuade women to freely dispense sexual favors to their men. When one begins to look, this feature is startlingly common to many ancient cults, monotheistic schismatic sects and modern esoteric groups. Many, if not the majority of adepts past and present were, or are, whoremasters. The mechanism is quite simple, pay the woman in the coinage of spirituality to service the men who repay you with adulation and accept your teachings as a side effect. The adulation from the men then increases your charisma with the women creating a positive feedback loop. It can be a nice little earner until old age or a police raid catches up with the enterprise. The other danger is of course that the women, and eventually the men, may come to feel that constant changes of partners work against their longer term interests of emotional security and reproduction. The turnover in such cults can thus be high, with young adults constantly replacing those approaching early middle age.

Few religions or cults lack a sexual teaching, for any teaching provides a powerful level of control. The vast majority of the more durable and established religions trade on a suppression of so called free love. This pays considerable dividends too. Women's position becomes more secure, and men know who their children are. Naturally adultery and prostitution flourish in such conditions because some people always want a little more than lifelong monogamy has to offer. So it's quite true that brothels are built with the bricks of religion. Indirectly so with conventional religions, directly so with many cults.

All this begs the question of why it is that people have such an appetite for wanting to be told what to do with their sexuality. Why do people have to seek esoteric and metaphysical justification for what they want to do? Why is it so easy to make a living selling water by the river?

The answer, it appears, is that human sexuality has some built in dissatisfaction function of evolutionary origin. Our sexual behavior is partly controlled by genetics. Those genes most likely to survive and prosper are those that in the female encourage the permanent capture of the most powerful male available and occasional liaisons (clandestine) with any more powerful male that may be temporarily available. Whereas in the male, the genes most likely to prosper are those encouraging the impregnation of as large a number of females as he can support, plus perhaps a few on the sly that other men are supporting. It is interesting to note that only in the human female is oestrous concealed. In all other mammals the fertile time is made abundantly obvious. This appears to have evolved to allow paradoxically both adultery and increased pair bonding through sex at times when it is reproductively useless. The economic basis of any particular society will usually supply some pressure in favor of a particular type of sexuality and this pressure will be codified as morality which will inevitably conflict with biological pressures. Celibacy is unsatisfactory, Masturbation is unsatisfactory, Monogamy is unsatisfactory, Adultery is unsatisfactory, Polygamy and Polyandry is unsatisfactory and presumably Homosexuality is unsatisfactory, if the renetic merry-go-round of partner exchanges in that discipline is anything to go by.

Nothing in the spectrum of possible sexualities provides a perfect long-term solution, but this is the price we pay for occupying the pinnacle of mammalian evolution. So much of our art, culture, politics and technology arises precisely out of our sexual yearnings, fears, desires and dissatisfactions. A society sexually at peace with itself would present a very dull spectacle indeed. It is generally if not invariably the case that personal creativity and achievement are directly proportional to personal sexual turmoil. This is actually one of the major but often unrecognized techniques of sex magic. Inspire yourself with maximum sexual turmoil and confusion if you really want to find out what you are capable of in other fields. A tempestuous sex life is not a side effect of being
a great artist for example. Rather it is the art which is the side effect of a tempestuous sex life. A fanatical religion does not create the suppression of celibacy. It is the tensions of celibacy which create a fanatical religion. Homosexuality is not a side effect of barracks life amongst elite suicide shock troops. Homosexuality creates elite suicide shock troops in the first place.

The Muse, the hypothetical source of inspiration, usually pictured in sexual terms, is the Muse only when one's relationship to her is unstable. Every possible moral pronouncement on sexual behavior has doubtless been given a million times before, and it would be unseemly for a Chaoist to re-emphasize any of it. However, one thing seems reason-ably certain. Any form of sexuality eventually invokes the whole gamut of ecstasy, self-disgust, fear, delight, boredom, anger, love, jealousy, rafe, self-pity, elation and confusion. It is these things which make us human and occasionally superhuman. To attempt to transcend them is to make oneself less than human, not more. Intensity of experience is the key to really being alive and given the choice I'd rather do it through love than war any day.

A dull sex life creates a dull person. Few people manage to achieve greatness in any field without propulsion that a turbulent emotional-sexual life supplies. This is the major secret of sex magic, the two minor secrets involve the function of orgasm as gnosis and the projection of sexual glamours.

Anything held in the conscious mind at orgasm tends to reach down into the subconscious. Sexual abnormalities can readily be implanted or removed by this method. At orgasm sigils for enchantment or evocation can be empowered either by visualization or by gazing at the sigil taped to one's partner's forehead for example. However this kind of work is often more conveniently performed auto-erotically. Although the gnosis offered by orgasm can in theory be used in support of any magical objective, it is generally unwise to use it for entropy or combat magic. No spell is ever totally insulted within the subconscious and any leakages which occur can implant quite detrimental associations with the sexuality.

At orgasm an invocation can be triggered, this operation being particularly effective if each partner assumes a god form. The moments following orgasm are a useful time for divinatory vision seeking. Prolonged sexual activity can also lead to stages of trance useful in visual and oracular divination or oracular states of possession in invocation.

The projection of Sexual Glamour for the purposes of attracting others depends on far more than simple physical appearance. Some of the most conventually pretty people lack it entirely, whilst some of the plainest enjoy its benefits to the limit.

To be attractive to another person one must offer them something which is a reflection of part of their self. If the offer becomes reciprocal then it can lead to that sense of completion which is most readily celebrated by physical intimacy. In most cultures it is conventional for the male to display a tough public exterior and for the female to display a softer persona, yet in a sexual encounter each will seek to reveal their concealed factors. The male will seek to show that he can be compassionate and vulnerable as well as powerful, whilst the female seeks to display inner strength behind the outward signs and signals of passive receptivity. Incomplete personalities such as those which are machismo to the core, or consist of the polar opposite of this, are never sexually attractive to anyone except in the most transient sense.

Thus the philosophers of love have come to identify a certain androgyny in either sex as an important component of attraction. Some have taken the poetic license to express the quaint ideal that the male has a female soul and the female a male one. This reflects the truism that to be attractive to others you must first become attracted to yourself. A few hours spent practicing being attractive in front of a mirror is a valuable exercise. If you cannot get mildly excited about yourself, then don't expect anyone else to get wildly excited.The "moon glance" technique is often effective. Basically one briefly closes the eyes and momentarily visualizes a lunar crescent in silver behind the eyes with the horns of the moon projecting out of each side of the head behind the eyes. Then one glances into the eyes of a potential lover whilst visualizing a silver radiance beaming from your eyes to theirs. This maneuver also has the effect of dilating the pupils and usually causes an involuntary smile. Both of these are universal sexual signals, the first of which acts subconsciously.

It is generally unwise to cast spells for the attraction of specific partners but better to conjure for suitable partners in general for oneself or others. One's subconscious usually has a far more subtle appreciation of who really is suitable.

Sexual magic is traditionally associated with the colours of purple (for passion) and silver (for the moon). However, the effectiveness of black clothing as either a sexual or an anti-sexual signal, depending on the style and cut, shows that black is in a sense the secret color of sex, reflecting the biological and psychological relationship between sex and death.

The Empirical Rules Of Magick 12 Destroying Your Enemies

The Empirical Rules Of Magick 12 Destroying Your Enemies Cover
This is one aspect of magick that attracts many. It is a big mistake! Karma will get you every time. Don't try to rationalize. Though you may be able to put it off, you will not escape karma. In the mundane world, you might justifiably do violence in order to defend yourself or another from physical attack. In magick, this justifies only defense, never attack. Don't imagine yourself to be an agent of karma or a martyr saving others at your own expense. Who ever has done you wrong will get his. It's frustrating to wait and we all want to be there when it happens, but it is never worth trying to make it happen.

When you have any kind of relationship, particularly a magickal one, you develop a karmic tie. You will want to avoid such ties with people you don't like. Even if you get the best of such a person, he will still drag you down. It's difficult to resist when you feel that the person owes you. If you have been swindled and left with no legal recourse, it's tempting to use magick to get your money back. Trying to get even will develop a tie with this person and probably set you up for some bad karma. Don't worry about the money, either. You can get that from anywhere (see "Prosperity"), In seeing this swindler as your only source you give your Power to him. If you are brave, you can demand justice in such a situation. This incurs no karmic debt, but you, too, can expect justice. Not very many people genuinely want this. Most prefer mercy because we have all done plenty of things that we would rather not have to pay for. If you want mercy, you must extend it to others. When you ask for justice, all your debts present themselves. If you survive, great, but it won't be fun. There are much safer ways of dealing with nasty people.

The Empirical Rules Of Magick 14 Purification

The Empirical Rules Of Magick 14 Purification Cover
Remember that the things you have in your life are those that you have drawn to you. When someone upsets you, he usually has a lesson to teach you. If you can learn this lesson, you can escape the situation. If you escape without learning your lesson, you'll probably be in a similar situation soon. Sometimes people often make us angry by reflecting a part of our personality that we are unhappy with. Also, the negative vibrations we pick up during our everyday lives attract negative things. The purpose of the ritual bath is to remove such influences. It is also a good idea to do an entire spell for purification. This is not only good to do on yourself, but also your home and wherever else you spend much personal time.

Affirmations: The white light cleanses me of all negative thoughts and energies. Only positive feelings remain in me. I release all negative vibrations into the Earth to be healed.

Visualizations: See yourself being washed clean by white or violet light from above you (your High Self). Each time you inhale, take in pure white light. When you exhale, release all your negativity. See this negativity go down into the earth to be healed.

Other: Place a piece of rock salt under your tongue. Use incense smoke or water to cleanse yourself. Again, religious symbols are very effective.
