Reply #44: I did it for 10 years....

don't get me wrong, we are having a difference of opinion, which is complicated by the fact that I'm also "out" of it.

(actually it's more of a very private thing, I no longer will associate religiously with other occults)

I never had a high opinion of Crowley even though I have as complete collection of his books as I could find, as well as the Golden Dawn books.

In fact, when people come to my house the first thing they see is a bookshelf devoted to occult books, you name it and I probably have it.

That is not to say that I'm trying to persuade you from Crowley or whatever your belief is. On the contrary -- I want you to believe. But I also want you to believe with out influence. That you choose to follow your path for your own reasons. If Crowley is that path, so be it, I hope you find enlightenment. I caution you that many of his rituals are dangerous, and I'm not only speaking spiritually dangerous, but physically dangerous. So, take care to stay safe on your path.
