Some things annoy me. Some things piss me off. Some things get my back up so much that I would willingly accept the job of executioner for people who abuse children. My prefered method of execution would be to strap the offender in a chair and to lower it into a hole in the ground. Then I would have paint stripper dripped onto them until all their flesh was burned away and they died in agony. Even this would be too good for them. One drop every fifteen seconds until the offender departed this mortal coil.

I’ve been surfing videos lately and have come across two in particular which have especially wound me up. The first is part of a documentary detailing experiments with LSD that took place at Millbrook under the “supervision” of “LSD High Priest” Timothy Leary.

While I strongly believe in the legalisation of all drugs I think it morally and socially wrong to give them to children, which is what happened at Millbrook. The child in the first short clip is clearly repeating the words of Leary himself and speaks them in the same manner that he did.

Admittedly, LSD was legal at the time but this is just plain wrong. Firearms are legal in the US but only a fool would hand a loaded pistol to a nine year old.

The second video is horrific and shows how fear is used to control. I’ve seen some grim and scary stuff on the ‘net, execution videos and all that, but nothing compares to the horror of this. Ken Bigley was a fucking idiot and deserved to be beheaded but no child deserves to have their innocence taken away from them or for them to be brainwashed with religious mythology and fantasy.

In my opinion there is only one way to raise a child correctly and that is via the practical application of the philosophy of Thelema. Note I didn’t use the words “ritual” or “indoctrination”.

A child is like a river and a parent should allow a child to flow freely along its predetermined course. If the child shows an interest in music this should be encouraged, as should any other inclination which is a part of the childs True Will. To thwart a childs natural progress is a crime against both the child and society as a whole.

Liber OZ:

I recently signed a petition to abolish “all faith schools and prohibit the teaching of creationism and other religious mythology in all UK schools.”

Faith schools remove the rights of children to choose their own religious, philosophical and ethical beliefs. They also sanction ethnic segregation and create tension and divisiveness within society. Schools should be places where children are given a free education, not centres for indoctrination. Creationism and other religious myths should not be taught as fact regardless of the funding status of a school. Abolishing faith schools will provide children with more freedom of choice and help to promote a fully multi-cultural, peaceful society.

I’ve never been a fan of Regardie and his Crowley commentaries as he never actually said anything worth reading. His Tree of Life I found useful when I began my quest and his Eye in the Triangle is excellent for a mystical look at Crowley before he crossed The Abyss, but that’s about it. He was far too ambiguous in his views really and had a life long love / hate relationship with “The Master”. Perhaps this is sour grapes as Crowley didn’t take him under his wing as he would have liked.

That said, I can’t help but admire the man who has a squeaky clean public image when in truth he had more wifes and mistresses than Crowley, had hash cookie parties and used to drop acid once a year! See Suster’s Crowley’s Apprentice for more information regarding this. I’ve never been a fan of Suster either, most of what I’ve read doing precious little for me but thought his novel The Scar excellent and should have been made into a film.

I’ve never understood the Robert Anton Wilson thing either.

February 27th is the official “Duane speaks ill of the dead” day!

Stay tuned for this time next year when I’ll have a go at John Symonds, Stewart Farrar and Gerald Gardner, among others.

Maybe it’s because I’m reading Liber Lilith, I don’t know, but I’m starting to hear things. I was woken yesterday morning at 4:45 by some woman shouting my name. All the doors in the house were locked and I was alone. The voice was that real that I thought there was somebody else in the house. On getting back to sleep again I was woken several hours later by the same thing.

I’ve had astral voices before but nothing to compare with this. On getting to sleep again I was woken for a third time with a female voice shouting “Hello?” in a questioning manner. I got out of bed again and went downstairs and checked that there was nobody there and that the doors were locked. There wasn’t and they were.

I have been reading Tyson’s Liber Lilith before going to sleep most nights, admittedly only a few pages a night, and in Steiger’s journal he does mention about the coming of the presence of Lilith but this is just plain odd. I have done no ritual work of any kind in a long time, neither have I done anything to call Lilith deliberately. There have been a few blog posts in relation to Lilith but this has been only a small part of what has been happening in my life at the moment and doesn’t really warrant much attention in the grand scheme of things.

One interesting thing I did read recently was that Lilith has both a light and a dark side, indeed this is true of all consciousness forms (I dislike the term Godform) and backs up my recent statement that all women are fucked in the head to some degree, i.e. dark and Qliphotic as well as bright and Sephirotic.

I spent the rest of the day half asleep which doesn’t do my health a lot of good as I have enough trouble sleeping and waking as it is. I haven’t slept properly in months anyway. If things carry on like this I’ll end up in a permanent twilight zone of consciousness and will be half spaced out which isn’t what I want.

I’ve stopped drinking coffee on an evening, indeed have cut down my caffeine intake drastically, have not touched alcohol in over a fortnight, haven’t had nicotine in my system in over a week and have been eating plenty of fruit and vegetables so I don’t know what’s going on. I did have a bit of a cold over the weekend but even this doesn’t warrant auditory hallucinations.

In relation to further research into Doris Gomez I received an email from Jamie who attached a copy of Gerald Yorkes handwriting so that I could compare it with the writing on the photograph of Doris Gomez so I could determine whether it was Yorke’s of Crowley’s handwriting, having already ruled out Ray Sherwin.

The result of this is still inconclusive. As an aside I might point out that the writing says “Doris on left” with an arrow pointing to the female on the left. This is the sort of thing Crowley would do, pointing out the obvious, but I’m still not certain.

I compared the word on from the photograph to several instances in the page of Yorke’s handwriting and couldn’t see any real comparision. Neither could I see any real comparisons when looking through the manuscript copy of Liber AL, hurriedly written though it was, whereas the writing on the photograph is more casual.

This set me thinking, and asking the question: how many times does the word on appear in Liber AL, how many instances of those two letters together?

Starting with chapter one:

1. Had! The manifestation of Nuit.

and ending with:

66. The Manifestation of Nuit is at an end.

there are 63 instances. In chapter two, 57. And in chapter three either 66 or 67 depending upon whether the final “post script” of

The Book of the Law is Written and Concealed. Aum. Ha.

is counted or not.

63 + 57 + 66 (67) = 186 or 187

Neither of these numbers are mentioned in the two sections of Gematria, and Sepher Sephiroth yields very little regarding 186 except it being the number of Qoph, the back of the head and the seat of magickal power. See Kenneth Grant’s Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God for more information. 187 has references yet none of them resonated with me. My copy of Godwin’s Cabalistic Encyclopedia is inaccessable at the moment due to a house renovation.

(66, incidentally, is the sum of the numbers from 1 to 11 and is the mystic number of the Qliphoth and of the Great Work. Meaningful, but slightly out of context taken as a whole.)

When I start with Gematria I don’t stop until I find something of significance and 187 = 156 (Babalon) + 31 (AL).

From this I can conclude that 187 is the “secret” number of ON and that there is no fourth and “missing” chapter of Liber AL as erroneously supposed by Jack Parsons and others.

From Liber Samekh, Section D:

BABALON-BAL-BIN-ABAFT “Babalon! Thou Woman of Whoredom. Thou, Gate of the Great God ON! Thou Lady of the Understanding of the Ways!”

And:

ASAL-ON-AI “Hail Thou, the unstirred! Hail, sister and bride of ON, of the God that is all and is none, by the Power of Eleven!”

Section G:

AD-ON-A-I “My Lord! My secret self beyond self, Hadith, All Father! Hail, ON, thou Sun, thou Life of Man, thou Fivefold Sword of Flame! Thou Goat exalted upon Earth in Lust, thou Snake extended upon Earth in Life! Spirit most holy! Seed most Wise! Innocent Babe. Inviolate Maid! Begetter of Being! Soul of all Souls! Word of all Words, Come forth, most hidden Light!”

The comment upon which reads:

In Hebrew, ADNI, 65. The Gnostic Initiates transliterated it to imply their own secret formulae; we follow so excellent an example. ON is an Arcanum of Arcana; its significance is taught, gradually, in the O.T.O. Also AD is the paternal formula, Hadit; ON is its complement NUIT; the final Yod signifies “mine” etymologically and essentially the Mercurial (transmitted) hermaphroditic virginal seed - The Hermit of the Taro - The use of the name is therefore to invoke one’s own inmost secrecy, considered as the result of the conjunction of Nuit and Hadit. If the second A is included, its import is to affirm the operation of the Holy Ghost and the formulation of the Babe in the Egg, which precedes the appearance of the Hermit.

To sum up:

ON is an Arcanum of Arcana; its significance is taught, gradually, in the O.T.O.

Conclusion:

Rise up, awaken and align with the 93 Current.

Jalenacks Wordspew plugin = piece of shit
WordPress Earth theme by 2yi.net = piece of shit

People ought to refrain from publishing WordPress templates it they don’t actually validate as proper code or if they just flat out fail to render properly. As for the ’spew plugin, well, I was getting spammed even without it being on my site as I changed the theme back to one that actually works. When I had a tinker around earlier I checked it again only to find more spam that a Monty Python sketch. I have better things to do than re-write templates (admittedly, however nice) and wade through spammy adverts. That’s one of the reasons I don’t read newspapers, own a television or listen to radio (much).

If you’re one of those sort that read newspapers or watch television then get a fucking life before it’s too late.

I had a few moments spare between dusting (there’s a lot of it) and decorating, so checked eBay for Crowley stuff and thought the result quite amusing.

I have my copy of 777 on the desk at the moment and have been playing:

666 (Therion) + 156 (Babalon) = 822 = 418 (The Great Work) + 404 (Law) which is perfectly true from my experience.

My ex SW rang while I was working that out. I didn’t speak to her and she left a message. AC was right in saying To keep a woman forever, get thoroughly excited, then quit. He failed to mention how to get rid though, that’s my present problem. Well, one of them.

I bumped into my first Priestess that I had when I was 17 recently and she said to get rid, but didn’t give any advice as to how. Great.
