Commentary (ΛΘ) on ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΛΘ The Looby in Liber CCCXXXIII, The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley.

“Paragraphs 2-6 explain the method that was given in Chapters 11 and 31. This method, however, occurs throughout the book on numerous occasions, and even in the chapter itself it is employed in the last paragraphs.” [via], [see], [see]

Consider also:

  1. “In the common practice of meditation the idea is to reject all impressions, but here is an opposite practice, very much more difficult, in which all are accepted. This cannot be done at all unless one is capable of making Dhyana at least on any conceivable thing, at a second’s notice; otherwise, the practice would only be ordinary mind-wandering.”
  2. “The word Looby occurs in folklore, and was supposed to be the author, at the time of writing this book, which he did when he was far from any standard works of reference, to connote partly ‘booby’, partly ‘lout’. It would thus be a similar word to ‘Parsifal’.”
  3. “In the last two paragraphs there is a justification of a practice which might be called sacred prostitution.”
  4. “Explain thou snow to them of Andaman.”
  5. “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.”
