Duas das figuras mais importantes da história Thelêmica são brasileiras: Marcelo Ramos Motta e Claudia Canuto de Menezes. Eu corri isso pelo google tradutor, por favor, perdoe quaisquer erros. #occultsky#thelemasky#witchsky#brazil
My intent with this page is, at first, to push some photos of figures in Our history as a means of preservation and of showing that people do, in fact, undertake the Work. This means I'll be sharing photos and info about people I sometimes vehemently disagree with. No post is a lineal endorsement.
Filmmaker Kenneth Anger was given a copy of Pyramidos, the A.'.A.'. self-initiation ritual, by Jack Parsons. The typescript you can find today on a variety of websites was ultimately sourced to him. It has annotations in Crowley's, Yorke's, & Anger's hand. #witchsky#occultsky#thelema
Pan is not depicted in art until his worship spread from Arcadia in the early 5th century BCE. In this image from an Attic drinking vessel, Pan appears with the head and hindquarters of a goat, playing a double-reed (aulos) rather than the more familiar Pan-pipes (syrinx).
‘But I wish to make my prayer to the sacred Mother Goddess whom Theban maidens celebrate all the night through, singing of her and of Pan not far from where I dwell.’ — Pindar, Pythian Ode 3 🎨 J.R. Weguelin, ‘The Magic of Pan's Flute’
Although Kenneth Grant was expelled from the OTO by Karl Germer, no record I've seen indicates his status as Neophyte in the A.'.A.'. was ever rescinded. He is depicted here in the back, with his wife Steffi up front, in this A.O Spare illustration. #witchsky#occultsky#thelemasky
