Zek:

You have unleashed our Kraken! I wouldn’t wish any of my “enemies” to smoke whatever it is Y is toking. Hard to meet a dead man, Crowley, by the way. 😉

Also, I wonder why many of those who are against Crowley, who they had never met, would be pro NASA and not care about how NASA or JPL uses their budget.

If Crowley was so bad, why do people ignore Parsons of JPL founding fame?

If Crowley is burning in hell, what about all those christians and non christians backing NASA and JPL? They got a Salvation kickstarted deal and kickback from the Jesus guy right. That’s some nice insider trading and privileges.

Aleister Crowley (May he burn in Hell!)

What does he have to do with what you are smoking zek?

BTW, all three belonged to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Nutters one and all.

Says the person that wants people to burn in hell for eternal torment. Even I hesitate to wish eternal torment upon my worst enemies that I know of. People who think they are “saved” and thus have the authority to look down on the “damned” is pretty interesting if I may say so myself. It’s nuts basically.

It is the women who cause the most poetry who care the least for it, in my experience.

Ymarsakar:

Whatever you’re smoking, can I try some?

FWIW, Yeats and Aleister Crowley (May he burn in Hell!) really really did not get along with each other at all.

BTW, all three belonged to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Nutters one and all.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

If she was a true member of the occult and had access to adepts or was herself an adept, she would have known well in advance what Western astrology said her and his incompatibilities were.

A soul mate in occult knowledge is not a lover, but some kind of companion or teammate in life.

Well spotted!

Poor fellow would have been better off with Norah Barnacle.
