Aleister Crowley: Difference between revisions

The Typhonian tradition is sometimes defined as a current that flows through the cosmology of the Order Templi Orientis (O. T. O.). [[Typhon]] was the god in Greek mythology who when appearing before the other gods was so ugly he changed into a fire-eating monster; he waged a terrible war and was eventually killed by one of Zeus' thunderbolts. Thus, Typhonian is synonymous with fire and force, also means the Opposer. Typhon's Egyptian counterpart is Set or Seth.Excerpt from Bill Schoebelen: "most Witches, myself included, find it necessary to study his material and “plug themselves into” the magical current of Crowley's demon spirit guide, a mysterious being named Aiwass. [[Aiwass]] is another name for Set, an Egyptian god. [[Sodomy]] is especially “sacred” to Set. It opens what are called the “Typhonion” tunnels, channels through which extremely powerful demons, like the horrible Choronzon, can travel from the “alternate reality” and emerge into this universe and enter the sex partner's body".—<ref>[Wicca: Satan's Little White Lie, 1990 AD ed., see pp. 192, 197-200, Bill Schnoebelen]</ref>

==Hitler and Occult==

Following the rise of Adolf Hitler, who discovered the Society after he had been ordered to spy on them, Serbottendorff’s newspaper was bought out by Dietrich Eckart, a Bavarian Catholic who had helped form the German Worker’s Party - and thus the newspaper was now under German rule, for obvious reasons. It was Eckart who introduced Hitler to the more esoteric ways of the world, and it was Eckart who transcribed Mein Kampf. When they came to power, Hitler set up the SS, a secret Order of the Silver Star who went out initiating people into the esoteric mysteries. Close ties to Turkey were still in place, as the mass exterminations of both countries show.

Eckart himself was highly influenced by the Eastern mysticism and was a follower of [[Aleister Crowley]]’s movement. In fact, some researchers have even claimed that [[Aleister Crowley]] influenced the Nazi occult movement to such a degree that it may have been through him that the “secret brotherhood” were working and thereby influencing Hitler and his motley crew.
