I Practice Magik

I think one of the first things one must realize before they can ever truly start to appreciate Magik, the world, the supernatural, etc. is that Aleister Crowley was a rank amateur at best.

Look into history to see the feats that practitioners had been able to perform for centuries and then look at Aleister Crowley's "feats".

My late instructor told me that Aleister Crowler and Wicca have been two of the worst and most detrimental things to happen to the art, even rivaling the centuries of persecution from Christians and Muslims.
