Commentary (ΛΕ) on ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΛΕ Venus of Milo in Liber CCCXXXIII, The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley.

“The female is to be regarded as having been separated from the male, in order to reproduce the male in a superior form, the absolute, and the conditions forming the one absolute.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “The title ‘Venus of Milo’ is an argument in support of paragraphs 1 and 2, it being evident from this statement that the female body becomes beautiful in so far as it approximates to the male.”
  2. “The soul is beyond male and female as it is beyond Life and Death.”
  3. “Life is as ugly and necessary as the female body.”
  4. “Even as the Lingam and the Yoni are but diverse developments of One Organ, so also are Life and Death but two phases of One State. So also the Absolute and the Conditioned are but forms of THAT.”
  5. “Death is as beautiful and necessary as the male body.”
