I've found many other Wiccans in this biz, amazingly enough...or rather, not really amazingly as we tend to see sex as liberating and spiritual in nature.
Speaking of the Rede....I've done alot of research on Crowley...he fascinates me.
I have a copy of The Book of the Law which states:
"Do what thou Will shall be the whole of the law. Love under Will."
At first glance, most people read the first sentence as "Do whatever you want." This translation is incorrect.
What he goes on to explain, is that the 'do what thou will' part means DO WHAT YOU WERE SENT HERE TO DO...in other words, your 'Will'. And your will is rooted ('under') in love...
So, ultimately, you have no business but to do you WILL here on earth, and because your Will is rooted in Love, there is no worry that you will 'hurt' anyone...(that's IF you are fulfilling your WILL....if you do any harm, you aren't following your true Will)
Crowley succeeded in convincing the world he was crazy and....evil. He thrived on the attention of being someone who was eccentric. But, that shouldn't put people off, today, who are interesting in his writings....he truly was an amazing man....drugs and all.
Okay, so what Tarot decks d'you guys have/use? I collect them...haven't counted lately but I'd put it in the 20+/- decks area.....and yes, my Crowley deck is my favorite and most used deck.
