“History may well be written by the victors, but victors change and if we do not unwrite history then the propaganda from the previous regime still stands.”
Gordon White, Star.Ships: A Prehistory of the Spirits

“mysticism is fundamentally irrational and that is its great power and solace. “Proving” mysticism with science is like using a slide-rule to measure wind speed.”
Gordon White, The Chaos Protocols: Magical Techniques for Navigating the New Economic Reality

Gordon   White
“Over the last century, a new power narrative has emerged that warps archaeological data into a specific shape the way a magnet affects iron filings. It is the unspoken belief that humanity is on a journey from worse to better, from primitive to complex, uncivilised to civilised. Our civilisation of perpetual war, total surveillance, obesity, runaway mental illness, overmedication, environmental degradation, widespread unemployment and scientific materialism has nothing to learn from the past because it is better. Enjoy that smartphone made by suicidal Taiwanese slave labour. Continue shopping.”
Gordon White, Star.Ships: A Prehistory of the Spirits

Aleister Crowley
“The Magician should devise for himself a definite technique for destroying "evil." The essence of such a practice will consist in training the mind and the body to confront things which case fear, pain, disgust, shame and the like. He must learn to endure them, then to become indifferent to them, then to become indifferent to them, then to analyze them until they give pleasure and instruction, and finally to appreciate them for their own sake, as aspects of Truth. When this has been done, he should abandon them, if they are really harmful in relation to health and comfort.”
Aleister Crowley, Magick: Liber ABA: Book 4

“You are certainly free to join whatever nineteenth-century swingers club masquerading as a magical order you like, but do it on your own time.”
