The ‘Worst Man in the World’ Tells the Astounding Story of His Life in Articles by Aleister Crowley.

“Foolish people say that I am a Black Magician, that I am in the habit of celebrating the Black Mass and the Witches’ Sabbath, that I eat new-born babes and explore the sky on a broomstick.

They say that Satan is my master and that I am his faithful agent.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “O = Capricorn, ‘The Devil of the Sabbath’. U = 8, the Hierophant or Redeemer. T = Strength, the Lion.”
  2. “A black two-headed Eagle is GOD; even a Black Triangle is He. In His claws He beareth a sword; yea, a sharp sword is held therein.”
  3. “we are born into a World which is in Bondage to Ideals; to them we are perforce fitted, even as the Enemies to the Bed of Procrustes.”
  4. New Broomstick Chronicles post links to Sam Webster: Initiate of the Mysteries
  5. “Nobody stops to look at me in the street. My appearance is, I suppose, that of a simple country gentleman up in town for a weekend. All my notoriety arises from the fact that I am a magician. I AM THE MASTER THERION. Practically my whole life has been spent in the study of magic.”
