Book: The Beast 666 (1997)
In the spring of 1945, Parsons met a new aspirant to the Great Work, a young man called Ron Hubbard. Hubbard's magical potential was very great and he made a considerable impression upon the members of Agape Lodge, especially on Betty, the mistress of Dr Parsons; she soon found herself sleeping with him. Frater 210 (Dr Parsons) was not unduly upset about this; for he had decided to follow even more closely in the Beast's footsteps and find, by magical means, a Scarlet Woman, his own true … [Read more...] about Book: The Beast 666 (1997)

Book: The Confessions of Aleister Crowley (1969)
As to my study of Islam, I got a sheikh to teach me Arabic and the practices of ablution, prayer and so on, so that at some future time I might pass for a Moslem among themselves. I had it in my mind to repeat Burton's journey to Mecca sooner or later. I learnt a number of chapters of the Koran by heart. I never went to Mecca, it seemed rather vieux jeu, but my ability to fraternize fully with Mohammedans has proved of infinite use in many ways. My sheikh was profoundly versed in the … [Read more...] about Book: The Confessions of Aleister Crowley (1969)
