| I thought it was The Stones who were supposed to be into all that? Until Altamont, anyway. |

| Quote: | Today, at almost any "heavy-metal'' rock concert one can hear the audience being exhorted to rape and murder in the name of Satan. Lyrics such as the following are typical:
"We come bursting through your bodies
Rape your helpless soul
Transform you into a creature
Merciless and cold
We force you to kill your brother
Eat his blood and brain
Shredding flesh and sucking bone
Till everyone's insane
We are pestilent and contaminate
The world Demonic legions prevail"
Any loving parent today would be horrified and shocked to learn that their sons and daughters are eagerly listening to such evil. Perhaps though, some may think privately, "If only we could return to the 'good old days,' with the music of the Beatles." Little do most people suspect that it was with those innocent-looking Beatles, that most of the trouble started. |

Oooh, thanks. I'll read that in the morning. It looks much too convincing at 1:45 am! |

Oh good grief.
'She loves you yeah yeah yeah' is a satanic reference? I thought the goat was a he-goat.
Most people don't even listen to the words - look how many people think 'Born in the USA' is pro-US.
And the 'penis' looks more like Thunderbird 3. Or does Thunderbird 3 look like a penis?
edit: Sorry for the disjointed ravings. It's Sunday morning, didn't sleep, trying to sort myself out with caffeine. |

Apparently, Peaches Geldoff has fallen for the late bald mage's old book club.

A Humorous Q&A about a News Issue of the Day
N°3,361
Peaches Geldof has signed up to Aleister Crowley's sex cult OTO
The celebrity tweeted a picture of one of the cult's books, and has inked the initials on her body too
The Guardian 15 April 2013
Age: Founded in Germany in 1904. So 109.
Appearance: Daft tattoos on daft people.
What does OTO stand for? Ordo Templi Orientis.
Meaning? The Order of the Oriental Templars.
And what does the Order of the Oriental Templars stand for? The "wisdom and knowledge" of, among many others, the Gnostic Catholic Church; the Rite of Memphis; the Order of the Sat Bhai; the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light; and the Illuminati.
Is this, by any chance, a stupid cult? No, actually it's a respected school of academic thought known for its rigorous system of peer-reviewed publishing and many seminal contributions to the philosophy of mind, ethics and epistemology.
Really? No, of course not. It's a stupid cult.
So why is it in the news? Why are stupid cults ever in the news?
Ah. Because of a famous stupid cultist? Bingo. In this case, Peaches Geldof.
Daughter of Bob? Yes, that Peaches Geldof, former dabbler in Scientology and present owner-operator of a heart-shaped "OTO" tattoo.
What has she done? Tweeted a picture from one of the cult's books to her 148,000 followers with the message: "#93 #Thelema #o.t.o for all my fellow Thelemites on instagram!"
And what exactly is a Thelemite? A believer in Thelema.
Which is? The religion created by occultist, practitioner of "sex magic", "wickedest man in the world" and former head of the Order of the Oriental Templars, Aleister Crowley, based on the central tenet: "Do what thou wilt."
Meaning? Meaning, in practice, rituals based around sexual exhaustion and, for the highest level members of the Order of the Oriental Templars, instruction in secret techniques for masturbation, heterosexual and homosexual sex. Crowley wrote the religion's founding text, The Book of the Law, in 1904, after an angel and messenger of the Egyptian gods named Aiwass appeared to him while he was on holiday in Cairo with his wife. Although obviously that didn't happen.
I think she may have been better off with the Scientologists. Now there's a sad state of affairs.
Do say: "Why does anyone follow this utter charlatan?"
Don't say: "Her tweets aren't even good." |
Well there's a thing. |

So, she's not a Scientologist?
Then again, Hubbard was a Thelemite, and famously involved in the Babalon Working with Jack Parsons, so maybe it's not that big a stretch. |

The sex is probably more interesting. |

As if she wasn't getting enough sex already? Soppy girl. |

Have we had this already?
Was Aleister Crowley
Barbara Bush's Father?
| Quote: | | Pauline Pierce was friends with Aleister Crowley, maybe more than friends. Pauline had a reputation of being a bit on the wild-side in the 20's. It's been reported that she and Aleister were in France together around September/October of 1924. Upon return to America and her boyfriend here, Pauline gave birth to Barbara Pierce. |

| The site where I originally read that has photos of the two of them at the same age side by side, and they do look startlingly similar. |

We heard that a few years ago, and that was exactly our response. 
And in a bizarre, possibly disturbing coincidence, this thread is the second time I've come across the Crowley/Hubbard link in the past hour. Kind of a foreboding omen for the day ahead.  Well, perhaps more foreboding for the Scientologists, considering what's been going on here in the states (been meaning to post in the Scientology thread about it, just haven't got around to it yet.) |
