creatures instinctually fear the dark. They shy
away from it, like cockroaches caught in a sudden flash of
light. To most people, Magick and the darkness it cloaks in
is associated with uncouth ruffians, evil wizards, and other
untrustworthy characters. Though, the truth is many of
the most successful men to ever have lived were in fact initiates of
Magick.
When night
falls, most people lock the door of their home, try to
forget the matters of the day, and rest until the sun rises
again. For the Chaos Master, the night is a thing of beauty
that holds power other mortals fail to fathom. It is through
a clearer understanding of the subtle, creative energies of
night that the Magician acquires what he truly desires:
Power.
To aid you in
your own quest for Power we've included over 4,000
pages of legendary magick guides, lexicons and manuscripts
for you to study. In addition to Aleister Crowley's
most powerful works, we've also included the original
manuscripts of King Solomon,
Neuroscience breakthroughs and misc. works by A.E. Fore.
These are the exact Magick manuscripts Aleister Crowley
himself studied/wrote to obtain his infamous Magickal abilities.
The
smoke and mirrors are gone -- everything that was unclear
about the dark side is now brought into the light.
Here, the art and science of Magick is unveiled in it's entirety.
And so at your
own pace, return to take pearls of wisdom and jewels of
power away from the pages of this site. Let us start from the
beginning...
The word Magick
is a broad term, used to describe an entire array of
different practices all aimed at achieving common goal.
You'll understand the term 'Magick' better once you've taken
a look at the the various practices included in term
'Medicine.' For example, cardiology, reflexology,
pediatrics, pharmaceutical, etc. Each play their part
in serving the common goal of prolonging physical life.
When speaking on the
term Magick, we include meditation, prayer, imagination,
will and action. The common goal of these different
Magickal practices, as stated by Aleister Crowley, "is
the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity
with Will." (Except
Taken From Magick Without Tears, Chapter 1).
To say it in other words,
willing change into physical reality. It almost
sounds to simple to contain any mystic or hidden meaning,
does it not? The truth is, every conscious act in
conformity with the will is a Magickal act. So
something as simple as using your imagination to conjure up
an image and then, using your will or 'Thelema', to paint
the image into the marble real is a Magickal act.
Where does all the
extraordinary hype about levitation, invisibility, murder,
demons, spirits, planes, dimensions etc., fit into this
rather bland definition of magick? This is important:
The goal of the Magus's work is to discover, through
personal experimentation, the limits of which his will
can achieve.
It's now safe to point out
great Magus from the past that have been successful in using
their will to part an Ocean, physically relocate across the
globe in an instant, walk on water, pass through walls in a
state of Jinus -- just to name of few. And of course
there are the 'darker' aspects of what will can accomplish;
murder, sex, fame & fortune, etc.
The true story of a modern
Magus who's life long experimentation to discover the limits
of what his Will could achieve would come to be known all
over the world, as far as Europe, South Africa and even Asia
knew of this 'dark monk'.
His parents named him Aleister Crowley,
though the World would remember him by a different name:
These are the exclusive works of
"The Wickedest Man Alive!"
Within the contents that follow you'll find over 4,000
pages of exclusive information about Black Magick,
Gnosis, Tantra, tarot and even King Solomon's Goetia. Below is a list of
recommended reading for you to get started with.
Take each except with a 'grain of salt' and take nothing
said on blind faith alone. Test everything
yourself and conclude as to the validity of magick and
it's rites by personal, testable, tangible results.

to Magick & It's Powers"

Many who undertake the task of learning Black Magick hear
this quote by Aleister Crowley at one point or another in
their study- yet few understand it. However, the
phrase is only half complete:
When you put these two sentences together you get the result
of Aleister Crowley's life study in the occult. This
saying became infamous with through Aleister Crowley.
It also became his moto, his creed, his empirical law.
But what does it mean? It's true that I've gone into
great effort and depth, filling many pages, to fully explain
the meaning of these sentences. However, due to space
(and your time), I will condense them up into the following
two paragraphs:
"Do what thou wilt shall be the
whole of the Law." -- What are the limits to
what your Will (Thelema) can achieve? This is
the big debate. Yet, once the awesome power of
the Will is realized the next question
becomes what tasks should Will be applied to and
focused on? And to this, Aleister Crowley
replies:
"Love is the Law, Love
Under Will." -- As
history would have it, once a Magus has undertaken
the task of conversing with his/her 'Guardian Angel'
(Higher Self) they have certainly found their true will seeks to be
eternally liberated from the suffering of earthly consciousness --
and achieve 'eternal life in heaven'. This
final liberation of the soul is accomplished through
willed acts of Love (Thelema), self remembrance
(gate to the superior worlds) and raising the
Kundalini (sex magick). Self-sacrifice for
others. This is the narrow-path to heaven, to
immortality in Eden, and
this is the Law.
(Crowley's moto explained further in
Liber 2).
The
beginning magus (the initiate) will
discover that he can do whatever he or she wants, and
still retain his/her spirituality -- only they
will pay or receive accordingly from his/her actions
based on mechanical laws of Karma(-) and Dharma(+).
We all physically operate within the universe based on a
set laws (48 to be exact) and liberation from these laws
is achieved through physical acts of unconditional Love. Love for self,
love for others, it makes no difference as the result is
the same -- because in essence we are all the same
inside.
Love is the Law of Magical Liberation, Love Under Will.
Aleister Crowley
wished to make this very clear to the masses: Spiritualism is not reserved only for the
'good' or the 'bad' of heart; it is open for anyone
willing and able to to take on the work. And thus, the
Secret Arts, The Great Work, Arcane Science --
Magick -- is without morals.
