Concerning Death by Aleister Crowley in International, Dec 1917.

“Then follow in thy mind the wondrous word of the Stélé of Revealing itself. Return if thou wilt from the abode of the stars; dwell with mortality, and feast thereon. For thou art this day made Lord of Heaven and of Earth.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “So also death is but through accident; thou hast hidden thyself in the shadow of thy gross body, and, taking it for reality, thou hast trembled.”
  2. “An Epistle of Baphomet to the Illustrious Damozel Ana Wright, Companion of the Holy Graal, Shining Like the Moon. CONCERNING DEATH That She and Her Sisters May Bring Comfort to All Them That Are Nigh Death, and Unto Such as Love Them.”
  3. “Thy death shall be the seal of the promise of our age-long love. Hast thou not striven to the inmost in thee? Death is the crown of all. Harden! Hold up thyself! Lift thine head! breathe not so deep — die!”
  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. “It is a remarkable fact that this article appears to lead absolutely no where. The biological test of conduct breaks down in very much the same way as the religious test.”
