Aleister Crowley "I am the Beast, I am the Word of the Aeon.  I spend my soul in blazing torrents that roar into the Night, streams that with molten tongues hiss as they lick.  I am a hell of a holy Guru."

In April 1904, Aleister Crowley established contact with a disincarnate entity called Aiwaz (or rather it established contact with Crowley), who then dictated the three chapter Book Of The Law.  With its ancient Egyptian terminology it ushered in zodiacally the new age of Aquarius, and magickally the Aeon Of Horus.  Crowley regarded that the complete acceptance of the tenets of this extra-terrestrial book as essential to the Law of Thelema ( Thelemic rights, laws & politics in a nutshell : OZ Speaks! ).  The foundation being "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law", and "Love is the law, love under will" :: For Crowley, as for others initiates of this Path, sex is the fulcrum for its sorcery, and the key for contact with praeter-human intelligences, and for gaining control of unseen worlds and their denizens. Edward Alexander Crowley died in Hastings, England on December 1st, 1947 at the age of 72.
