I Make Myself Invisible in Articles by Aleister Crowley.

“One night, after a ceremony in which a well-known analytical chemist was my leader, I locked the door and went out with him to a meal.

When we returned the door was wide open, though the lock had not been forced, and the whole contents of the temple had been thrown about and lay in the wildest confusion.” [via, also]

← “I constructed a private temple in a flat in Chancery Lane. It was a hall of mirrors, the function of which was to concentrate the invoked forces. It contained an altar of acacia topped with gold and certain secret symbols and regalia of the Order.” “Then the fun began. We saw–and my teacher was able to identify–hundreds of shapes, weird “half-formed faces” which were thronging the room, marching in fantastic dance about its confines. These were definitely malicious forces, demons, which one had to study and conquer.” →
