I noticed it because of the Supergee post from "today" where he discusses Watts. <br /><br />Oh, wow...I did that the other day. <br /><br />I'm probably one of the few people who takes two or three days between looking at my blog and others' too. <br /><br />A belated thanks.michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526042582094867513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-87278872674919382902016-11-04T07:08:03.892-07:002016-11-04T07:08:03.892-07:00The one that springs to mind is Crowley saying in ...The one that springs to mind is Crowley saying in Magick in Theory and Practice that for the past x years he had sacrificed x number (in the hundreds)of healthy human babies for his work.

He could tell how much they swallowed the bait by the strength of the reaction it provoked in them. This seems interesting, if true, as a kind of guerilla ontology. Crowley apparently did the same with his students. Maybe Watts picked it up from him? Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.com
