My favorite spiritual activities:
LIVING IS A SPIRITUAL ACTIVITY, even though we do not recognize it as such. Even 'mundane' activites such as doing dishes and automatic actions such as breathing are very spiritual.

What's your spiritual type?:
Undefinable - These labels (and most labels) don't work for me.
About Me
was born on the Full Moon of Samhain in 1971. Metaphysics have been a part of my life since then. I was taught me how to subtly affect reality through "magickal" means and responsibilities that came with such ability. I becamse interested in the Hebrew Kabbalah when I was 13 or 14, I don't really remember which, but it was through a book that came to me entitled, the Magus, by Frances Barret. I studied it intensely. I was a bit young for this path, however, and dark occurences befell me. These experiences waylaid my spiritual path for over a decade as I decided it best to focus on the mundane world for a while. I did return to my spiritual path, however, for the pull of higher powers is always present. Now, I have written a book about much that I have learned. It combines my two main interests, Quantum Physics and the Hebrew Kabbalah. It is a book of mysticism that will show you how to balance and take control of your life using ancient methods. The way this works is described through the discoveries of quantum physics which all seem to point to one thing: The reality that our five senses perceive is an illusion.
If you would like to read the first chapter of my book, I will send it to you free. It details some of the fascinating and wondrous discoveries made by quantum physics in the last century.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.
Aleister Crowley
I can imagine myself on my death-bed, spent utterly with lust to touch the next world, like a boy asking for his first kiss from a woman.
Aleister Crowley
I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck.
Aleister Crowley
I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.
Aleister Crowley
I was asked to memorise what I did not understand; and, my memory being so good, it refused to be insulted in that manner.
Aleister Crowley
I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff.
Aleister Crowley
If one were to take the bible seriously one would go mad. But to take the bible seriously, one must be already mad.
Aleister Crowley
In the absence of willpower the most complete collection of virtues and talents is wholly worthless.
Aleister Crowley
Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.
Aleister Crowley
Intolerance is evidence of impotence.
Aleister Crowley
Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales.
Aleister Crowley
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Aleister Crowley
Paganism is wholesome because it faces the facts of life.
Aleister Crowley
Part of the public horror of sexual irregularity so-called is due to the fact that everyone knows himself essentially guilty.
Aleister Crowley
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
Aleister Crowley
The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
Aleister Crowley
The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Aleister Crowley
The ordinary man looking at a mountain is like an illiterate person confronted with a Greek manuscript.
Aleister Crowley
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Aleister Crowley
The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
Aleister Crowley
The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one's neighbor and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell.

To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.
Aleister Crowley
To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.

"Blessed be" is probably the best-known Pagan expression. It is used as both a greeting and a farewell, and as a general expression of blessing or affirmation during ritual, similar to "amen". It is also commonly seen as a farewell in the form of "Blessed Be & Namaste."
In Neo-Paganism and Wicca, the phrase Amen is not normally used, being seen as Christian in origin. However, the rather archaic phrase So mote it be is often used instead, with basically the same meaning (mote is an archaic form of may). This possibly derives from Freemasonry, where in certain rituals the phrase "Amen, so mote it be" is used.
