Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the Will. - Aleister Crowley

I admit that my visions can never mean to other men as much as they do to me. I do not regret this. All I ask is that my results should convince seekers after truth that there is beyond doubt something worth while seeking, attainable by methods more or less like mine. I do not want to father a flock, to be the fetish of fools and fanatics, or the founder of a faith whose followers are content to echo my opinions. I want each man to cut his own way through the jungle.

...my responsibility to the gods was to write as I was inspired; my responsibility to mankind was to publish what I wrote. But it ended there. As long as my work was accessible to the public...my hands were clean.

The ordinary man looking at a mountain is like an illiterate person confronted with a Greek manuscript.
