Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be the Whole of the Law

Happy Holidaze, fellow readers!

During these cozy yuletide latke evenings it brings me endless pleasure to curl up with a cozy tome to read before the flickering menorah candles.  And who better to supply this holiday cheer than the black magick spewing, heroin and cocaine snorting, blue robe wearing "Wickedest Man in the World" Aleister Crowley?

It is wild to read a "drug book" published in 1922, especially one as open-minded as this.  The narrative is driven by three people:  Lord Pendragon, his wife "Unlimited" Lou, and the mysterious King Lamus.  Lord Pendragon and Lou get all coked up, then decide to do lots of heroin, and then go completely bonkers when they run out of joy powders.

So, they retreat to an estate where they do Satanic rituals and shoot at each other and sell their bodies for more heroin.

Then---King Lamus!  He steps in and teaches them how to find their own true will in the mystical magical land of Thelema.  All live happily ever after!

This book rocked.  Drugs!  Incantations!  '20s slang!  Genius mountain climbing toddlers!  It's all in there.  Plus, a tasty introduction to the world of Crowley and his Book of Thelema.  I can't wait to celebrate the New Year, knowing that I can always be saved from my debauch by the powers of Black Magick!  Holla!

And remember kids!  Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.  Smooches!
