Exactly how Crowley's stuff wound up in Texas has to be a story in itself. It's akin to Ian Fleming's stuff being at IUB. ??? Is this a subtle disownment of disreputable figures by prim British universities?

I read, Magick in Theory and Practice by Aleister Crowley years ago.

It was incomprehensible to me when I read it. But the wiedest thing about the book is that it seems to leave seeds in the mind that bloom and mature through time.

Crowley's teachings are actually quite philisophical and the "Magic" he speaks to is essentially psychological.

"Do what you will, is the whole of the law" This is Cartesian philosophy at its core.

I did use one love spell that was in the book. That it actually worked I figured was simple 'coincidence" at the time. Now that I understand the Cartesian aspect of Crowely "magic"

I think the "spell" actually worked!

'The Power Of Positive Thinking'...is in fact Cartesian/Crowely Magic.

Yup!
