"I Have noticed that every time I receive an important initiation, some cherished article mysteriously disappears. It may be a pipe, a pen or what what not: but it is always a object whixh is impregnated with my personality by constant use or or special veneration. I cannot remember a single occasion when this has not happened. The theory is that the elementals or familiar spirits in attendance on the Magician exact, so to speak, a tipon all important occasions of rejoicing."
Crowley, Confessions
Read again tonight on page 143 of Sex and Rockets by John Carter (a biography of Jack Parsons)
