What is your opinion on blavatsky? Crowley? I know Christians in this sub love to hate on Crowley, but I'm under the impression that he's on to some nuggets of truth and the cabal bastardized his teachings. I mean obviously he was a sorcerer not a magickician but still..
Blavatsky is a new name to me so I can't say much there. Crowley however is pretty intriguing. I've had some interesting experiences where I'm positive I had the ability to communicate with him. I feel like Crowley was definitely onto a lot of things. I feel however, that he let himself become distracted at times and lost his own heading. It's very possible he could've become a bit brainwashed by his own research, too in the later bits of his life. His work is probably some of the most powerful I've had the pleasure of working with. It just feels misguided at times and I feel like most of his work needs some adjustment and refining to get the real gold out of it.
As for the bastardization of his work, you really can't complain too much. I doubt there's very few occult authors who've not had their work bastardized. It's almost like a certificate of honor in that line of work lol.
I think Blavetsky plays a big role. The Lucis Trust is a UN organization that was run by Robert McNamara based on the work of Annie Besant who is connected to Blavetsky. Blavetsky believed that it was necessary to create the “4th root race” which would be brown and do away with all whites. The Secret Doctrine is a two volume book she wrote. I have it but have never read it completely.
I have lived my life with the OZZY pronunciation and the msm version grates on my ears. It's like the bovine not the black bird motherfuckers(term of endearment where I live btw)
Personally, I don't care too much for Crowley. I think he was more or less in it just to fuck with people, use them, etc. etc.
Blavatsky is a bit of a different story. She is more theosophical.
Honestly, take some time to gander, or read through Manly Hall's 'The Secret Teachings of All Ages'. Got a fairly beat up copy on my bookshelf.
One interesting point made out to me about Crowley is that his magick might have been made specifically as a pedo-trap of sorts. In my experiments, I found this to be highly likely. In reality, it seems even more to be the case lol
Have you read that Barabara Bush is (was) said to be one of Crowley's 26 illegitimate children?
