I Make Myself Invisible in Articles by Aleister Crowley.

“Steiner had proved his inability to become a great magician and he was deceived by treacherous powers into defeating his country.” [via, also]

Consider also:

  1. “Rudolph Steiner, the man who was responsible for the defeat of Germany, was Grand Master of the O.T.O. in Austria, a semi-masonic order of which I was the Grand Master in England.”
  2. “Steiner broke away from the Order, because he was terrified at one of the ordeals he had to go through. He was thus cut off from the true magic, but he became secret advisor to Von Moltke.”
  3. “But I am a white magician, not a black one. I belong to a secret order which has representatives all over the world; we are all working for the good of humanity, not for its downfall.”
  4. “The naval man was an Adept of the Order, and he played a big part in the struggle. Whenever the affairs of the world reach a critical stage the Adepts always have someone behind the scenes.”
  5. “‘What’s that?’ ‘The files about Aleister Crowley.’ ‘Goodness gracious me!’ ‘Of course, we haven’t got the last month’s stuff in yet. A bit congested.’ ‘Here, this has got to stop! We can’t put up new buildings every few weeks. Close the record!'”
