Product Information

Despite it being against the law in the 1800s, Crowley was bisexual. It’s highly believed that his first mystical experience was brought on by his first romantic encounter with another man. Aleister Crowley had asked playwright and author Clifford Bax to help him find an artist for a Tarot project. On 9 June 1937 Bax invited Frieda Harris after two artists did not show up for an appointment. She was then aged 60. Crowley's belief system, Thelema, has been described by scholars as a religion, [217] and more specifically as both a new religious movement, [218] and as a " magico-religious doctrine". [219] It has also been characterized as a form of esotericism and Modern Paganism. [220] Although holding The Book of the Law—which was composed in 1904—as its central text, Thelema took shape as a complete system in the years after 1904. [221]

Crowley was bisexual, but exhibited a preference for women, [272] with his relationships with men being fewer and mostly in the early part of his life. [234] In particular he had an attraction toward "exotic women", [273] and claimed to have fallen in love on multiple occasions; Kaczynski stated that "when he loved, he did so with his whole being, but the passion was typically short-lived". [274] Even in later life, Crowley was able to attract young bohemian women to be his lovers, largely due to his charisma. [275] He applied the term "Scarlet Woman" to various female lovers whom he believed played an important role in his magical work. [276] During homosexual acts, he usually played 'the passive role', [277] which Booth believed "appealed to his masochistic side". [278] An underlying theme in many of his writings is that spiritual enlightenment arises through transgressing socio-sexual norms. [279]Tzaddi is the letter of The Emperor, the Trump IV, and He is the Star, the Trump XVII. Aquarius and Aries are therefore counterchanged, revolving on the pivot of Pisces, just as, in the Trumps VIII and XI, Leo and Libra do about Virgo. This last revelation makes our Tarot attributions sublimely, perfectly, flawlessly symmetrical. [2] One source characterizes the fool as sacred, saying, “ Holy fools subvert prevailing orthodoxy to point to the truth which lies beyond immediate conformity .” In other words, the fool points to the emperor’s new clothes as nakedness — he is the guileless child, and innocence is a prime characteristic of our fool. He disrupts anything safe or politically correct, exposing convention as hypocritical and counterfeit.
