Happy Lesser Feast, Uncle Al!

[Myshkin]

For those of you who aren't aware (and as such probably don't care anyway), on this day in 1875 Edward Alexander Crowley (later to adopt the name 'Aleister') was born.

Crowley means many different things to different people, in my case he means many different things to the same person. For all his faults, however (and there were many) his contribution to the Occult Revival cannot be denied.

Anybody else planning to commemorate this occasion? Even if it's only by sacrificing "a male child of perfect intelligence" (for those who don't get the reference I'm not advocating child murder)?

So for you, Uncle Al, a tribute. In your own words, as I know you'd prefer.

Flowers and fruits I bring to bless you,
Cakes of corn, and wealth of wine;
With my crown will I caress you,
With my music make you mine.
Though I perish, I preserve you;
Through my fall, ye rise above:
Ruling you, your priest, I serve you,
Being life, and being love.

​

Mods, please close if you wish - just wanted to put this out there. One of the staff was probably expecting it anyway, eh Vader?

I don't actually have Crowley's birthday written in my diary, but had I known I would certainly have expected it. No human sacrifice from me, maybe a glass of sherry or some sex magick later on, depending on how I feel.

Our dear Frater Perdurabo would certainly approve. The old quasi-charlatan show-off perv.
