Concerning Death by Aleister Crowley in International, Dec 1917.

“IT is written in the Book of the Law: Every man and every woman is a Star. It is Our Lady of the Stars that speaketh to thee, O thou that art a star, a member of the Body of Nuit.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “Prince of the air, thou offerest nought to me I serve thee, recompensed of hell-fire, More nobly than these others, verily Since none with impious word may mock at thee ‘Thou has a guerdon, is it not for hire?'”
  2. “I must not stoop and take my ease, Or touch the body lithe and thin. Bright body of the myriad smiles, Sweet serpent of the lower life, The smooth silk touch of thee defiles, The lures and languors of a wife. Slip to the floor, I must not turn: There is a lion in the way! The star of morning rise and burn: I seek the dim supernal day!”
  3. “A hollow voice from every quarter cries: ‘O thou, zelator of this Paradise, Tell thou the secret of the pillar! None Can hear thee, of the souls beneath the sun. Speak, or the very Godhead in thee dies. For we are many and thy name is One.'”
  4. “Beloved Daughter and Sister, DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW. Let it be thy will, and the will of all them that tend upon the sick, to comfort and to fortify them with these words following.”
  5. “WELL have I said, ‘O God, Thou art, alone, In many forms and faces manifest! Thou, stronger than the universe, Thy throne! Thou, calm in strength as the sea’s heart at rest!’ But I have also answered: ‘Let the groan Of this Thy world reach up to Thee, and wrest Thy bloody sceptre: let the wild winds own Man’s lordship, and obey at his behest!'”
