An Hymn for the American People by Aleister Crowley in The International Vol XII Iss 3

“In war and earthquake, wreck and wrong,
Still let the flag of freedom fly!
In peace and safety, still be strong!
For we will live as we would die.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “Peace in the highest and peace in the lowest and peace in the midst thereof! Peace in the eight quarters, peace in the ten points of the Pentagram! Peace in the twelve rays of the seal of Solomon, and peace in the four and thirty whirlings of the hammer of Thor! Behold! I blaze upon thee.”
  2. “What truer statement of individual freedom and spiritual expression can there be, when through the act of love we connect with the divine?”
  3. “It is easy enough to laugh at vampires if you live in Upper Tooting, or Surbiton, or one of those places where no self-respecting Vampire would wish to be seen. But in a lonely mountain village in Bulgaria you might feel differently about it!”
  4. “There is no Eros but Eros, in that none are so hot and wet and fast and strong and deep and piercing and brilliant and subtle and creative and corrosive and tyrannous and subversive as Love.”
  5. “Self-seeking for the brute,-for Man the Sacrifice of Self; the world’s thrones for the weak and foolish,-Self-empire for the Strong and Wise; Hatred grown into Love, and all the darkness of Ignorance illumined by the Light of Lights, which is the Law of Uttermost Compassion:-thus shall it be on earth when the Great Law shall have at last worked out the Destiny of Man
