Fill and Kill

── Note the two PDF files below! ──

• Why did Aleister Crowley in his various publications of Liber CCXX, the typeset version of Liber L vel Legis, stick to that a line of his paraphrase of the Stélé of Revealing should be "Aum ! let it fill me !", though in other places he sometimes wrote "Aum ! let it kill me !"?

The Method of Science - The Aim of Religion, Cover of The Equinox

• The Motto: "The Method of Science – The Aim of Religion", on the upper cover of Aleister Crowley's bi-annual review The Equinox. Note that the concept of ”fill” and ”kill” is reflected in the equinoxes (hence also in the solstices)! “Fill” relates to the Vernal Equinox of March, and “kill” to the Autumnal Equinox of September – the publishing rhythm of The Equinox! Regarding this, notice the stanza from Orpheus; a lyrical legend (1905 E.V.), printed below, and read also the extract The Method of Science – The Aim of Religion from For the Thelemites, which is found below!

• Regarding ‘initiation’, found in Book Four, Part I, is the ‘Sigillum Sanctum Fraternitatis A.·.A.·.’ – the seal of the GREAT WHITE BROTHERHOOD known as the A.·.A.·.. The seal, which was designed by Aleister Crowley, was probably the work of Crowley’s friend and A.·.A.·. Brother, publisher and artist E. J. Wieland, who published both Book Four, Part I, and The Book of Lies. It was the seal’s first appearance in Crowley’s printed works.

’Brother Newton’

Sir Isaac Newton (1642 O.S. - 1727 O.S.)

The English physicist, alchemist, and mathematician (Sir) Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, on December 25, 1642 O.S. (January 4, 1643, New Style), and he died at the age of 84 in London on March 20, 1727 O.S. (March 31, 1727, New Style). Newton went to Trinity College, Cambridge, the same college that Aleister Crowley was admitted to 234 years later!
