I heard RAW had some illuminating commentaries on Crowley's work and found it interesting that he made a comparison of the Law with Nietzschean philosophy and 20th century paradigm shifts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815023276979159667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-10065407696847508352011-06-24T15:03:39.596-07:002011-06-24T15:03:39.596-07:00don'cha just love coincidence? A week or so a...don'cha just love coincidence? A week or so ago, I was going through a box of old sf magazines, and there was a copy of the Analog with the big pyramid and the guy in the Horus/hawk helmet on the cover, which reminded me of this nest of synchronicities of RAW's. (The mag is in some of his own accounts.)<br /><br />However, I'm commenting here because anyone who hasn't read Tom Whitmore's utterly unbelieveable account, <a href="http://www.artofhacking.com/IET/CROWLEY/live/aoh_crowly11.htm" rel="nofollow">Raiders of the Lost Basement</a> should read it <b>RIGHT</b> <b>NOW</b>.

I was unaware of this.<br /><br />I found some account of it here:<br />http://www.tartaruspress.com/gyles.html<br />about halfway down:<br />"Wilde’s biographer Richard Ellmann visited Crowley at Hastings (presumably at Netherwood) shortly before the Beast’s death at the age of seventy-two in 1947. He apparently told Professor Ellmann the story of his involvement with Althea Gyles and how the artist became caught up in the psychic battle between Yeats and Crowley for control of the Golden Dawn. Ellmann published an article, ‘Black Magic Against White: Aleister Crowley Versus W. B. Yeats’, in the Partisan Review in 1948, based on the account Crowley gave him."<br /><br />It goes on from there.Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-81434168398504519212011-06-17T10:36:02.758-07:002011-06-17T10:36:02.758-07:00Great stuff.

I just spent the last week hanging out with Joyceans, which I loved, but I needed this dose of RAW. <br /><br />I also just learned that Joyce biographer Richard Ellmann interviewed Crowley extensively while researching Yeats.Eric Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312033917401203598noreply@blogger.com
