I Make Myself Invisible in Articles by Aleister Crowley.

“Steiner’s direction resulted in Von Moltke’s failing to take Paris when it was within his grasp, and that mistake cost Germany the whole war.” [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. “It was at the direction of the head of the Order that I then went to Scotland, to my manor house of Boleskine, which is two or three miles from the Falls of Foyers. My subsidiary object–the principal aim is too sacred to discuss–put into simple language was to gain control over the ‘four great princes’ of the evil of the world.”
  3. “During one ceremony in July 1909, in the Victoria Street studio, we invoked Bartzabel, the spirit of Mars. One of those present was a man of importance in the Admiralty, a commander whose name is too well known to mention. He asked the spirit, which had been invoked in a specially purified and consecrated man, if ‘nation would ever rise against nation.’ Bartzabel answered that it would. Questioned further, the spirit said that war would break out within five years, and that the nations which would be smashed would be Turkey and Germany. Within a fortnight of the end of those five years the Great War broke out.”
  4. “The Path! I did not guess that it would lead me through all the most obscure and dangerous lands upon this planet, and cost me 100,000 for a one-way ticket.”
  5. “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.”
