Aleister Crowley (/ˈkrli/ KROH-lee; 12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947), born Edward Alexander Crowley, and also known as both Frater Perdurabo and The Great Beast 666, was an English occultist, mystic, ceremonial magician, poet and mountaineer, who was responsible for founding the religious philosophy of Thelema.
In his role as the founder of the Thelemite philosophy, he came to see
himself as the prophet who was entrusted with informing humanity that it
was entering the new Aeon of Horus in the early 20th century.


Born into a wealthy upper-class family, as a young man he became a member of the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Subsequently he claimed that he was contacted by his Holy Guardian Angel, an entity he named Aiwass, while staying in Egypt in 1904, and that he 'received' a text known as The Book of the Law
from what he claimed was a divine source, and around which he would
come to develop his new philosophy of Thelema. He would go on to found
his own occult society, the A∴A∴ and eventually rose to become a leader of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), before founding a religious commune in Cefalù known as the Abbey of Thelema,
which he led from 1920 until 1923. After abandoning the Abbey amid
widespread opposition, Crowley returned to Britain, where he continued
to promote Thelema until his death.


Crowley was also bisexual, a recreational drug experimenter and a social critic. In many of these roles, he "was in revolt against the moral and religious values of his time", espousing a form of libertinism based upon the rule of "Do What Thou Wilt".[1]
Because of this, he gained widespread notoriety during his lifetime,
and was denounced in the popular press of the day as "the wickedest man
in the world".


Crowley has remained an influential figure and is widely thought of as the most influential occultist of all time. In 2002, a BBC poll described him as being the seventy-third greatest Briton of all time.[2] References to him can be found in the works of numerous writers, musicians and filmmakers,[3] and he has also been cited as a key influence on many later esoteric groups and individuals, including Grant Morrison, Marilyn Manson, Alan Moore, Kenneth Grant, Kenneth Anger, Jack Parsons, Gerald Gardner, Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary, Jimmy Page[4] and, to some degree, Austin Osman Spare.[5]

Herbert Dow founded Dow Chemical in Midland, Michigan when he invented a way to produce bromine cheaply. He sold the chemical for industrial purposes all over the US for 36 cents per pound at the turn of the 20th Century. He couldn't go overseas, however, because the international market was controlled by a giant German chemical cartel that sold it at a fixed price of 49 cents per pound. It was understood that the Germans would stay out of the US market so long as Dow and the other American suppliers stayed within its borders.

Eventually Dow's business was in trouble and he had to expand. He took his bromine to England and easily beat the cartel's fixed price of 49 cents per pound. Things were okay for a while until a German visitor came to Michigan and threatened Dow that he had to cease and desist. Dow didn't like being told what to do and told the cartel to get lost. Shortly thereafter German

bromine started appearing for sale in the US for 15 cents per pound, way below Dow's price. The cartel flooded the US market, offering the chemical way below their own costs, intending to drive Dow out of business. But Dow outsmarted them. He stopped selling in the US market entirely and instead arranged for someone to secretly start buying up all the German bromine he could get his hands on. Dow repackaged it as his own product, shipped it to Europe, and made it widely available (even in Germany) at 27 cents per pound. The Germans were wondering 1)

why wasn't Dow out of business and 2) why was there suddenly such demand for bromine in the US??

The cartel lowered its price to 12 cents and then 10 cents. Dow just kept buying more and more, gaining huge market share in Europe. Finally the Germans caught on and had to lower their prices at home. Dow had broken the German chemical monopoly and expanded his business greatly. And customers got a wider range of places to buy bromine at lower prices. Dow went on to do the same trick to the German dye and magnesium monopolies. This is now the textbook way to deal with predatory price cutting.

He might honestly think it's Neo I suppose.

 

Not as bad as a local here trying to sell his two Obsidian 15's for $600 when they cost $140 each new, while also claiming they are 3kw RMS.

Thanks.  She's great to have around, especially now that she's a Daddy's girl which drives my wife crazy....LOL.  Only have her on the weekends, but she comes from a rough background so I like to think we're doing some good in helping raise her.

 

We're white, she's obviously not.  So it's pretty humorous at times when we're out in public, people always think she's lost.

Skin tone means nothing, I am sure you are doing that little one a world of good! Funny thing is I enjoy the company of little ones more so than adults. Keep doing what you are with her as I am sure she will remember it for ever. :)

That's awsome. We have a longtime friend who was adopted at an early age. Her mom was a crack head was the cause of her going deaf.
