ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΜΕ Chinese Music in Liber CCCXXXIII, The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley.

“And yet doubt is a good servant but a bad master; a perfect mistress, but a nagging wife.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “In V.V.V.V.V. is the Great Work perfect.”
  2. “I swoon in that imperial embrace– Lay we asleep till evening, or dead? I knew not, but the wonder of her face Grew as the dawn and never satiated. She knew not in her strong imperial soul How hopeless was the slavery of life, How by the part man learns to love the whole, How each man’s mistress calls herself a wife.”
  3. “V.V.V.V.V. is the motto of a Master of the Temple (or so much He disclosed to the Exempt Adepts), referred to in Liber LXI. It is he who is responsible for the whole of the development of the AA movement which has been associated with the publication of THE EQUINOX; and His utterance is enshrined in the sacred writings.”
  4. “So spake IACOBUS BURGUNDUS MOLENSIS the Grand Master of the Temple; and of the GOD that is Ass-headed did he dare not speak.”
  5. “Strain forth thine Intelligence, O man, O worthy one, O chosen of IT, to apprehend the discourse of THE MASTER; for thus thy reason shall at last break down, as the fetter is struck from a slave’s throat.”
