Well Ann, I guess you can dismiss the value of someone by their appearance, or you can scratch beneath the surface and see if there might be something more there. You know, it's the old adage about appearances being misleading.

"Diary of a Drug Fiend" was one I found very insightful. My post was pretty much a joke but let's take this further and just say if I walked into a seminar hall and found a speaker dressed like this I might have to turn around and and leave but only after letting out a rather hearty guffaw. (Of course, I might also assume he merely wandered out of bed having forgotten to change out of his pajamas.) http://www.esoteric.msu.edu/VolumeV/Unleashing_the_Beast.htm ________________________________ From: "awoelflebater@..." <awoelflebater@...> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, September 27, 2013 11:20 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] RE: RE: RE: The Beast and the unborn ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Seraphita wrote: Re As to Crowley...eeewwww.: authfriend have you ever actually read any of Crowley's books? Don't believe the bollocks the normals say about him. I haven't read any of his books, actually. I have, however, copyedited several books about various occult topics that quoted him extensively, and the personality that came across always just set my teeth on edge. I have no idea if the authors of these books were "normals," but they weren't denouncing him or anything. I'm also sort of allergic to that whole area of modern occultism. Sorry if I've impugned a hero of yours! Tell you what. I don't want to spend any $$ on his books without previewing them, but if you'll give me a few titles you like and they're available for Kindle, I'll download samples and have a look at those. If any of them appeal, I'll consider buying and reading one. Deal? Here is your man. I think I am having a hard time taking him seriously. Does this make me shallow to judge him on his garb? Or the fact that he would wear this in all seriousness? Sorry, image won't copy, you'll have to check him out in the picture with headdress a la King Tut. http://http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aleister_Crowley,_Golden_Dawn.jpg
