What Im reading

Since returning from London with a dozen new books the only one I wanted to read was The Pleasure Garden of Shadows by Daniel Schulke that I had bought some months earlier.  I have been reading it for the last several days and it is really one of the most magickaly mind expanding book I've ever read.  I've been reawkened with a whole new way of looking at trees and green magic in general. A difficult book to get as there are only 576 copies published.  If you have read it or have an interest in the book feel free to comment your thoughts about it, I'd like to hear from you.

Crowleys Initiations, Confessions

"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)

little poems in prose : baudelaire

there is no simple explanation of how powerful Crowleys translation is.  if you dont know who baudelaire is and if you dont know who crowley is you should read little poems in prose as translated by aleister crowley and get to know baudelaire.
