Aleister Crowley Atelier Aleister Crowley Catalog of Paintings and Drawings Atelier Thelema – Aleister Crowley's paintings and drawings - 1 Atelier Atelier Thelema – Aleister Crowley's paintings and drawings - 2 It is well known that Aleister Crowley had an enourmous influence on the artistic sphere during past century - and still today. In a 1947 article, the international review Time recognized him as "the unsung hero of the hippies". Nevertheless the limited reference to a size that is just a part of his influence (that extends to the complete literary world and to philosophy) this definition allow to see how his thought and the works through by it is expressed had permeated the whole dimension of the most popular forms of contemporary art. Beat literature is in fact strictly melted with rock music, and the shadow of Aleister Crowley is everywhere in this domain, because his writings owe the kind of modernity that contemporary times looking for. Atelier Thelema – Aleister Crowley's paintings and drawings - 3 The article quoted above begins saying that «Edward Alexander ("Aleister") Crowley was born (...) into a conventional world. Being conventional, that world pretended that it was easily shocked. Aleister determined to be a shocking young man. He went to Cambridge and became interested in magick (as he insisted on spelling the word). On a legacy of £30,000 he traveled to China and Tibet for further studies in the black art. Most of his books and poems (Clouds Without Water, The Winged Beetle, Confessions') were printed privately because of their obscenity.”» Here we may recognize the common stereotype about his personality: to be an eccentric and to be a person interested in magic and therefore a satanist. But Aleister Crowley was too aware of the complex nature of the soul to fall in a so easy and superficial misunderstanding. Atelier Thelema – Aleister Crowley's paintings and drawings - 4 The object of the research of A.C. is a modern way to conceive magic as a system to inquire the unconscious and, doing this, conquering new spaces of consciousness. This is the prismatic light through by we may see the convergence between the early years of XX century (the Liberty, l'Art Noveau and the first steps towards the understanding that the industrial revolution could set free people from hard work, going towards the spiritual dimension of life) and the restarting process after WWII that permeates new music and art with the touch of the revival of magic and the beat literature. In his writings, A.C. demonstrates to understand the metaphysical level of interpretation of phaenomena, the supreme unity of all beings into the perfect Light, as well the uncomplete dimension of the earthly experience, that cannot relegated in the unbalanced dualistic understanding, that is just for stupid people. Atelier Thelema – Aleister Crowley's paintings and drawings - 5 The better explanation is given in the book of the Four L - Liberty, Love, Life and Light - the four gifts given to each living soul. Even the famous phrase “Do what thou wilt”, usually took by adverse critics as demonstration of arbitrary thought, in the writings of A.C. is clearly disposed in a different way. «“Do what thou wilt” does not mean “Do what you like”. It is the apotheosis of Freedom, but it is also the strictest possible bond», as he wrote on Liber 2. This explanation shows another understanding of big importance, that is the way to find real Will as key of realization. Real Will is beyond the egoic level, and needs to meet the transcendental Will to be realized. This is not related to egoistic desires and neither to ordinary consciousness: the uneasy understanding of this has been produceing mistakes and the attempt of adversary to reduce the meaning of this philosophical work. Atelier Thelema – Aleister Crowley's paintings and drawings - 6 These words are just an introduction to the complex world of A.C.'s thought and works. In add, we are presenting here not the thinker but the painter. Painting was for Crowley not the main form of his work but, nevertheless, another dimension of his need of expression. In the first exhibition at the Nierendorff Gallery in Berlin in 1931, his painting were labeled as “expressionist”. We may find something of that way to use colors and of that special attempt to transcend ordinary perceptions of reality. Kirchner, a major exponent of that avant-garde, was used to quote Nietzsche affirming that «man is a gate, not a goal». In a similar way, we may find in the works of Aleister Crowley something of the “need of expression” that in Kandinsky's writings keads to the spiritual meaning of painting, if we dare interpret “spirituality” as in beat literature. Atelier Thelema – Aleister Crowley's paintings and drawings - 7 Approaching the work of Crowley as a painter, the key is not in trying to find or not the same kind of artistic quality between writings and paintings. The real theme is to add a new instrument to go deeper inside the psychology of the artist. This is the reason to create this catalog, that we show here as a gift. Do what thou wilt and no one shall say nay.

  • Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God to Assume
    Introduction THIS BOOK contains a critical study of Aleister Crowley's system of sexual magick and its affmities with the ancient Tantric rites of Kali, the dark goddess of blood and dissolution represented in Crowley's Cult as the Scarlet Woman. It is an attempt to supply a key to the work of an Adept whose vast knowledge of occultism was unsurpassed by any previous Western authority. I have emphasized the similarity between Crowley's Cult of Thelema and Tantra because the present wave of interest in the Tantric System makes it probable that readers will be able to assess more fully the importance of Crowley's contribution to occultism in general and to the Magical Path in particular. As a result of many years' research into obscure phases of occultism I have evolved a method of dream control for contacting extra-terrestrial and non-human entities; this forms the substance of Chapters Six and Seven. This method is described in relation to the mysteries of Kundalini, the supreme magical power symbolized by the sleeping Fire Snake at the base of the spine which, after its awakening, activates the subtle power-zones in the human body. Aleister Crowley, Austin Spare, Dion Fortune and the German occultist Eugen Grosche were among the first Adepts in the West to teach the use of the psycho-sexual energies, the Ophidian Current that informed the most ancient arcana of Africa and the Far East. Although it was Crowley who first integrated this current with the Westem Esoteric Tradition, this was not achieved without some doubtful interpretations of oriental symbolism.

  • Liber II - a Mensagem Do Mestre Therion
    1 Liber II - A Mensagem do Mestre Therion Espaço Novo Æon www.thelema.com.br 2 Aleister Crowley A∴A∴ Publicação em Classe E. Espaço Novo Æon www.thelema.com.br 3 Liber II - A Mensagem do Mestre Therion LIBER II A MENSAGEM DO MESTRE THERIONi ii por Aleister Crowley “Faze o que tu queres deverá ser o todo da Lei” “Não há Lei além de Faze o que tu queres” “A palavra da Lei é Θελημα.” Θελημα —Thelema—significa Vontade. A Chave para esta Mensagem é esta palavra-Vontade. O primeiro significado óbvio desta Lei é confirmado pela antítese; “A palavra de Pecado é Restrição”. Novamente: “Tu não tens direito senão fazer tua vontade. Faze isso, e nenhum outro dirá não. Pois vontade pura, desaliviada de propósito, livre da sede de resultado, é toda senda perfeita.” Observe isto cuidadosamente; isso parece sugerir uma teoria de que se todo homem e toda mulher fizessem sua vontade—a verdadeira vontade—não haveria conflitos. “Todo homem e toda mulher é uma estrela”, e cada estrela se move por um caminho designado sem interferência. Há bastante espaço para todos; é apenas a desordem que cria confusão. A partir destas considerações deve ter ficado claro que “Faze o que tu queres” não significa “Faça o que você desejar”. Ela é a apoteose da Liberdade; mas é também o vínculo mais estrito possível. Faze o que tu queres — e então não faça nada mais. Não permita que nada desvie a ti daquela austera e santa tarefa. A Liberdade é absoluta para fazer a tua vontade; mas tente fazer qualquer outra coisa seja qual for, e instantaneamente os obstáculos vão surgir.

  • The Changing Role of Leah Hirsig in Aleister Crowley's Thelema, 1919
    Aries – Journal for the Study of Western Esotericism 21 (2021) 69–93 ARIES brill.com/arie Proximal Authority The Changing Role of Leah Hirsig in Aleister Crowley’s Thelema, 1919–1930 Manon Hedenborg White Södertörn University, Stockholm, Sweden [email protected] Abstract In 1920, the Swiss-American music teacher and occultist Leah Hirsig (1883–1975) was appointed ‘Scarlet Woman’ by the British occultist Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), founder of the religion Thelema. In this role, Hirsig was Crowley’s right-hand woman during a formative period in the Thelemic movement, but her position shifted when Crowley found a new Scarlet Woman in 1924. Hirsig’s importance in Thelema gradually declined, and she distanced herself from the movement in the late 1920s. The article analyses Hirsig’s changing status in Thelema 1919–1930, proposing the term proximal authority as an auxiliary category to MaxWeber’s tripartite typology.Proximal authority is defined as authority ascribed to or enacted by a person based on their real or per- ceived relational closeness to a leader. The article briefly draws on two parallel cases so as to demonstrate the broader applicability of the term in highlighting how relational closeness to a leadership figure can entail considerable yet precarious power. Keywords Aleister Crowley – Leah Hirsig – Max Weber – proximal authority – Thelema 1 Introduction During the reign of Queen Anne of Great Britain (1665–1714), Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough (1660–1744), was the second most powerful woman in the kingdom. As the queen’s favourite, the Duchess overcame many restrictions hampering women of the time.

  • Reader's Companion to John Cowper Powys's a Glastonbury Romance
    John Cowper Powys’s A Glastonbury Romance: A Reader’s Companion Updated and Expanded Edition W. J. Keith December 2010 . “Reader’s Companions” by Prof. W.J. Keith to other Powys works are available at: https://www.powys-society.org/Articles.html Preface The aim of this list is to provide background information that will enrich a reading of Powys’s novel/ romance. It glosses biblical, literary and other allusions, identifies quotations, explains geographical and historical references, and offers any commentary that may throw light on the more complex aspects of the text. Biblical citations are from the Authorized (King James) Version. (When any quotation is involved, the passage is listed under the first word even if it is “a” or “the”.) References are to the first edition of A Glastonbury Romance, but I follow G. Wilson Knight’s admirable example in including the equivalent page-numbers of the 1955 Macdonald edition (which are also those of the 1975 Picador edition), here in square brackets. Cuts were made in the latter edition, mainly in the “Wookey Hole” chapter as a result of the libel action of 1934. References to JCP’s works published in his lifetime are not listed in “Works Cited” but are also to first editions (see the Powys Society’s Checklist) or to reprints reproducing the original pagination, with the following exceptions: Wolf Solent (London: Macdonald, 1961), Weymouth Sands (London: Macdonald, 1963), Maiden Castle (ed. Ian Hughes. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 1990), Psychoanalysis and Morality (London: Village Press, 1975), The Owl, the Duck and – Miss Rowe! Miss Rowe!

  • Rua Augusta / Baixa Street Sounds Sofia
    Episode 9. Mouth of Hell Location: Rua Augusta / Baixa Street sounds Sofia: You should now walk down Rua Augusta towards Terreiro do Paço. In 1929 Fernando Pessoa is reading the first volume of the Confessions of Aleister Crowley. Crowley was a notorious British magician and occultist. [00:00:29.09] Steffen Dix: He knew several famous figures. He was in contact with Aldous Huxley, with Albert Einstein. He prepared an exhibition in Berlin with some great German modernists, so Crowley was a very international figure. He lived between Berlin, London and Paris and travelled around the world, while Pessoa never left downtown Lisbon. And in this sense there couldn’t be a greater contrast than Crowley and Pessoa. Aleister Crowley voice recording Aleister Crowley: In the Years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth, Man mastered the mammoth and horse, and Man was the Lord of the Earth. Sofia: The press dubbed Crowley "the wickedest man in the world". He identified himself as the “Antichrist” and he called himself "The Beast 666". On December 4th, 1929 Fernando Pessoa wrote to Crowley's publisher, Mandrake Press. It was to correct a mistake in the magician's astrological chart. Street sounds Steffen Dix: And he asked if the publisher could tell Crowley and the publisher did so. Then Crowley got in touch, maybe he found some interest in Pessoa and he was fairly quick to state that he was coming to Portugal. Sofia: This started a correspondence that led to a meeting between Pessoa and Crowley on September 2nd, 1930, in Lisbon.
