Elle est décrite à la fois comme un canular déguisé en religion et comme une religion déguisée en canular. Ses principes de base sont le rejet du réductionnisme et du dualisme voire de la falsifiabilité, ce qui pourrait la rapprocher du postmodernisme. Elle fait aussi usage de koans comme certaines branches du zen. Cette religion est surtout répandue aux États-Unis, et la quasi-totalité des textes discordiens sont écrits en anglais. Le discordianisme n'est pas tant une religion qu'un ensemble hétéroclite de traditions tournant autour d'une philosophie zen mêlant toutes les mythologies et tous les paradoxes que veulent bien y verser les participants. Le texte fondateur du discordianisme sont les Principia Discordia, écrits par Malaclypse le Jeune (Greg Hill). Ce livre fait référence à deux autres ouvrages : le Vrai Livre de la Vérité, qui ressemble dans son format à la Bible, et le Livre des Explications, révélé à Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst (Kerry Thornley) et qui ressemble au Livre de Mormon. D'après les Principia Discordia, ce dernier livre aurait été pris par un éboueur qui a refusé de le rendre. Beaucoup de religions cherchent à définir une harmonie ou un ordre concernant l'univers, mais le discordianisme cherche au contraire à faire accepter la discorde, le désordre et le chaos présents dans le monde comme étant, autant que l'...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: Evangelion is the ninth full-length album by Polish blackened death metal band Behemoth. The album was released on August 7, 2009 through Nuclear Blast Records and on August 11, 2009, through Metal Blade Records in the USA. The album title refers to the Good News in Christianity; the message of Jesus Christ. The album cover artwork is a depiction of The Great Harlot of Babylon, the figuress of evil mentioned in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. In January 2009, the band was in the final stages of the songwriting and rehearsal process for the album. Behemoth entered Radio Gdask studio in Poland to begin work on the album on February 16, 2009. The band managed to tap Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, In Flames, Dark Funeral) to produce drums on the record. Bergstrand used some unconventional techniquesa big room for the drums to create ambience and 22-channel recording for a more "organic and natural" sound. In March they were close to finish recording the guitars, with help from Wojciech and Sawomir Wiesawski from Studio Hertz. Within five days they completed three songs and laid down three rhythm guitars on each side, after which they worked on the bass, solos and vocals simultaneously. The band also managed to tap Colin Richardson to mix the album. The band had tried to book him before for their previous album, The Apostasy, but he wasn't available then.

Auszug: Carl Albert Theodor Reuss (* 28. Juli 1855 in Augsburg; † 28. Oktober 1923 in München) war ein deutscher Opernsänger (Bass), Journalist, Freimaurer, Theosoph und Gründer okkulter Orden. Reuß war der Sohn des Wirtes Franz Xaver R. und der Eva Barbara Margaret, geborene Wagner. In Augsburg, seiner Heimatstadt, besuchte er die Handelsabteilung der Kreis-Gewerbeschule und schloss eine Drogeristen-Lehre ab. Als professioneller Opernsänger soll er, nach eigenen Angaben, bei der ersten Aufführung Wagners Parsifal in Bayreuth 1882 mitgewirkt haben. Er arbeitete gleichfalls als Varieté-Sänger unter dem Bühnennamen „Charles Theodore", welchen er genutzt haben soll, um Kontakte zum „Communistischen Arbeiterbildungsverein" herzustellen. Seine umstrittene Sängerkarriere währte bis zu einer Erkrankung, durch die er partiell „plötzlich seine Stimme verlor". Angebliche Bekanntschaften mit dem Komponisten Richard Wagner (1813-1883) und mit Ludwig II. (1845-1886), der ab 1864 bayerischer König war, können nicht historisch belegt werden. Als Auslandskorrespondent und Redakteur war er für mehrere englische und deutsche Zeitungen und Nachrichtendienste tätig, unter anderem in London. 1878 schrieb er für...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=1262924 ...

Excerpt: Frank Bennett (1868 November 1930) was an Australian disciple of occultist Aleister Crowley and founder and head of the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) in that country. He was a member of Crowleys AA and is often referred to by one of the magical names that he used in that Order: Frater Progradior, (Progradior is an approximation of the Latin for "I advance"). Bennett was born in Lancashire, England. He worked variously as a builder, industrial chemist, and factory manager, and in later life, as a caretaker and maintenance supervisor. During his earlier years he was involved in a number of esoteric movements, including the Theosophical Society and Universal Co-Freemasonry (now known as Co-Masonry: a mixed-sex version of Freemasonry). He had gotten in touch with Crowley in 1909 through The Equinox, asking for information on the Abramelin operation. Not long after he joined Crowleys AA and later the O.T.O. In spite of his interest in Crowley, Bennett kept his ties with Co-Masonry and in 1911 emigrated to Australia, with the specific purpose of assisting in the foundation of Co-Masonic Lodges, a task he undertook with some success. He eventually settled in Sydney, where he was joined by his wife and children. Frank Bennetts interest in Co-Masonry waned...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=11809198 ... Read more

Babalon?also known as The Scarlet Woman, The Great Mother,or the Mother of Abominations?is a goddess found in themystical system of Thelema, which was established in 1904with Aleister Crowley's writing of The Book of the Law. Inher most abstract form, she represents the female sexualimpulse and the liberated woman; although she can also beidentified with Mother Earth, in her most fertile sense. Atthe same time, Crowley believed that Babalon had an earthlyaspect in the form of a spiritual office, which could befilled by actual women?usually as a counterpart to his ownidentification as To Mega Therion (The Great Beast)?whoseduty was then to help manifest the energies of the currentAeon of Horus. Her consort is Chaos, the "Father of Life"and the male form of the Creative Principle. Babalon isoften described as being girt with a sword and riding theBeast.

Excerpt: Aleister Crowley (pronounced ; 12 October 1875 1 December 1947), born Edward Alexander Crowley, and also known as both Frater Perdurabo and The Great Beast, was an influential English occultist and ceremonial magician, responsible for founding the religious philosophy of Thelema. He was a member of the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as well as a co-founder of the AA and eventually a leader of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.). He is known today for his magical writings, especially The Book of the Law, the central sacred text of Thelema, although he also wrote widely on other subjects, including a large amount of fiction and poetry. Crowley was also a hedonist, bisexual, recreational drug experimenter and 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". 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." Alongside his esoteric activities, he was an avid chess player, mo...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1177 ... Read more

The unicursal hexagram is a hexagram or six-pointed star that can be traced or drawn unicursally, in one continuous line rather than by two overlaid triangles. The hexagram can also be depicted inside a circle with the points touching it. English author and occultist Aleister Crowley's adaptation of the unicursal hexagram placed a five petaled rose (symbolizing the Divine), in the center, the symbol as a whole making eleven (five petals of the rose plus six points of the hexagram), thought by some as the number of divine union. ...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Abbey of Thelema refers to a small house which was used as a temple and spiritual centre founded by Aleister Crowley and Leah Hirsig in Cefalù, Sicily in 1920.The name was borrowed from François Rabelais's satire Gargantua and Pantagruel, where an Abbey of Theleme is described as a sort of "anti-monastery" where the lives of the inhabitants were "spent not in laws, statutes, or rules, but according to their own free will and pleasure." This idealistic utopia was to be the model of Crowley's commune, while also being a type of magical school, giving it the designation "Collegium ad Spiritum Sanctum", The College of the Holy Spirit. The general programme was in line with the A∴A∴ course of training, and included daily adorations to the sun, a study of Crowley's writings, regular yogic and ritual practices , as well as general domestic labor. The object was for students to devote themselves to the Great Work of discovering and manifesting their True Will. ... Read more

Product Description
This First Hardback Edition of Qabalah of 50 Gates delves into the lore of the internal journey of the Golden Dawn initiate employing the approach of the Yetzirahtic story telling tradition, incorporating lore from the mythos-cycle of Golden Dawn Hermetics, Aleister Crowley's 'Thelema' and the mercurial methodology of Gurdjieff. By the author of The Complete Golden Dawn Initiate the work melds the traditions of Magick and Alchemy, drawing upon the legends of the mediaeval alchemic-philosophers, the infinity-mathematics of Georg Cantor, the tantric mysticism of Aleister Crowley. It is a tour de force of parables describing the experience of each of the 50 Gates of the Qabalah which combine to present a puzzle within an enigma within a mystery. An erudite introduction by the author explains the symbolism featuring throughout the work. A Delight for the serious student of the Golden Dawn Qabalah. ... Read more

Inspirational
This book is a nice read and quite inspiring, in introducing the reader to the 50 gates. One must ponder and examine within to obtain some of the lessons here, and is especially effective for Thelemic students and adepts. I might add that this book is included in the "The Complete Golden Dawn Initiate", as well. This is a well done, inspirational book, and I can highly recommend it.

A truly inspired work
Simply put, this book is a tremendous breath of fresh air which comes sorely needed in the dusty library that is 99% of modern occult writing. Many books on the subject of Western hermetic magic, specifically Golden Dawn or Thelemic magic, come out every year, containing little more than the same rituals, techniques and maxims re-hashed again and again and again. This book is truly different. I can honestly say that I've never seen anything like it before. It is a true original, a genuine work of inspiration.
Adapting the Sufi tradition of passing on sacred knowledge through allegorical stories, Ashe presents stories for 35 of the 50 Gates of Understanding (the first ten are elucidated directly, while gates 46-50 are presented in a slightly different form). The stories feature three main characters: Kif, Kilo and Coconut; representing the Neschamah, the Ruach and the Nephesch respectively. The characters weave in and out of the narrative throughout the course of the 50 gates, interacting with each other sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly. Each story stands on its own as a single lesson or allegory, while collectively they weave an intricate parable of the evolution of the soul. The whole work is shot through with the light of direct experience, rising far above the level of intellectual speculation.
The book is a pleasure to read. Time and time again I've come back to it, pondering the various levels of meaning contained within the stories. More than once it's helped me come to grips with some elusive aspect of my own spiritual progress. I highly recommend it to all seekers on the path of occult wisdom. ... Read more
