Heed the words from The Book of the Law and spurn those who falsely claim to be Thelemites but act in a most unthelemic manner.  In so doing they prove themselves liars and hypocrites, pretenders and charlatans, more interested in your money than they are in your spiritual progress and magical career, more interested in catering to the petty dictates of their ego than they are the future of Thelema and society as a whole!

The above quotations are from Liber AL vel Legis sub figura CCXX, otherwise known as The Book of the Law, the very cornerstone of Thelema.  And yet those who claim to be Thelemites practice the "sin" of Restriction regularly in a most unthelemic manner.

In May of 1999 E.V. I may have been the target of a drive-by shooting that took out the windows of a car parked near my apartment.  This after being targeted by an Internet scam to get my credit card number.  In both cases, the ineptitude of the criminals who both times missed their mark tends to indicate their nature and identity.  Shortly after the Internet scam, this web site's host, GeoCities, was used to delete the Introduction to the Simon Iff stories, effectively denying you free access to those stories which I have for about two decades now kept in the public domain, having published them in print without copyright or profit all that time, and now via the Internet and computer disk.  Before this the Iff stories were widely distributed without the benefit of copyright, but only to selected individuals until I got fed up with the fact that your access to these stories was denied.

Obviously, for you got here by way of the Introduction page, I worked out the problem with GeoCities, which kindly allowed me to replace it.  However, the extremely unthelemic fascistic Machiavellian machinations of the Caliphate pseudo-o.t.o. went even further than this.  Someone via a site on the Internet freely offered a great deal of rare Crowleyana for the benefit of students and aspirants.  I noted that two booklets that I had written introductions for were also used, but I approved of this man's desire to provide you with the material written by Aleister Crowley, freely presented for you to read and download.  Yet again the Caliphate gang struck and had the site effectively killed, once more denying you access to that rare public domain Crowleyana, using impotent threats and lies in an effort to be the sole distriutors of Aleister Crowley's works.

The Caliphate hopes to profit from the works of the Prophet, and be the only ones to profit from the work of another, better man, Aleister Crowley.  The group is so spiritually and magically bankrupt that it has effectively put Francis King's The Secret Rituals of the O.T.O. out of print for years because all of their "secrets" are contained within the pages of that book last published in 1973 E.V.  I supposed in a way I should thank them for making this a rare book because at a time of great financial need I was able to sell my copy of the book, for which I paid $7.95, for $400.00, so that in effect, against their wishes, the Caliphate helped me earn a tidy profit on a book I first photocopied for $8.00 before turning it over to the new owner.

If you visit bookshops you may find books by Aleister Crowley in those devoted specifically to occult books, but you will find few if any in those bookshops which cater to the general public, and this in turn causes great harm to Thelema and the Will of the Beast 666, for the Law is for All, and with Crowleyana not easily available to all, Thelema is being restricted to the status of a relatively small cult that cannot survive the new millennium as such.  And who is at fault here?  Primarily the Caliphate pseudo-o.t.o. for having threatened publishers with false copyright claims so that they have been discouraged from publishing material by Crowley simply to avoid all the nonsensical hassles and the nuisance.

David Bersson and the late Marcelo Motta via the so-called S.O.T.O. may turn the image of Thelema into a sick joke.  The works of Kenneth Grant and the Typhonian pseudo-o.t.o. may pervert the image of Thelema with its qliphothic and Lovecraftian nonsense.  Sensationalistic writers like John Symonds may obscure the brilliant man known as Aleister Crowley by increasing the height and girth of the demon Crowley, a caricature that little resembles the true man and what he sought to accomplish.  But the greatest damage being done to Thelema today, interfering with your attempts to discover and accomplish your True Will, thwarting your efforts to access information which you may need to accomplish that goal, is being done by Mr. Bill Breeze (Caliph Hymenaeus Beta) and the Calphate pseudo-o.t.o., which proves itself again and again not to be Thelemic, but rather a collection of petty, grasping, ego-dominated opportunists and the very antithesis of Thelema.

If the Rare Crowleyana site has again been pulled from the Internet, denying your access to this material in an unamerican and unthelemic fashion, going against the very reason the Internet was created, then try the link below this editorial.

The man whose countless hours of unselfish and financially unrewarded work created this site has vowed to me that if the Caliphate manages to frighten another Internet host so that the site is closed, he will simply open another site, and another site, and another site until he and it are left alone.  He has vowed that you will have access to that material that the spiritually and intellectually bankrupt Caliphate pseudo-o.t.o. refuses to let you have unless, perhaps, you put money into their pockets for their hierarchy's personal benefit.  And even then you will not receive most of this material and what you may receive will be very poorly edited and presented.

Okay.  Here it is.  If the site that this link is connected to is killed, please let me know immediately (gmkelly@compuserve.com) and I will look into the matter and probably within a short space of time have a new link here for you to try.  This Brother-in-Thelema, whatever his name may be, should not be thwarted in his attempts to do his True Will by people who falsely call themselves Thelemites while acting in a most unthelemic manner.  And we should all assist this gentleman in his efforts to assist us by providing all students of Thelema and Aleister Crowley with the material that no individual and no group should restrict.

You may also wish to download the material from the following two horribly long URLs below.  Just remove the "Paragraph" and "Center" codes from the beginning and end of each URL, remove the blank spaces to put them back together, then cut and paste each URL, one at a time, of course, to your browser.  After downloading you will want to rename each file something ending in ".zip", after which you should be able to open them with WinZip.  I believe both files will fit on one 3.5" diskette - they will work much better together, I'm sure.  It's a little something I was told about and I thought I'd pass along to you.  The earlier one posted here?  It was pulled from the Internet.  I e-mailed and asked why and was told that the file was too long, a fact that the individual who put it there was in ignorance of and which the host seemed unaware of ... until someone pointed it out to the host to have it pulled?  Oh, and if you are told that with the download comes a virus, it simply isn't true.  I've tried it myself with no adverse effects.  If you are uncertain, download these to disk and have someone with a really good Virus Scan Program check the downloaded files before you unzip them.

While I highly recommend the site to which the link button above takes you, if you find it temporarily missing, I originally informed you that you might still be able to at least find The Secret Rituals of the O.T.O. at either

Unfortunately this web site too was quickly killed by the unthelemically restrictive Caliphate pseudo-o.t.o.  And all three sites were even run by members of the Caliphate!  So much for brotherhood and fraternity.

These violated web sites may return to the Internet at some time in the future, so you may want to try the URLs at a later date.  What I find amusing is that the Caliphate has told us that they no longer use the rituals published in Francis King's book, and keeping the book out of print they certainly cannot receive money from it's publication, so, unless they are lying about employing new rituals [Bill Breeze and the Caliphate lying?! Why that's so difficult to believe.  NOT!], then why are they so bothered about having rituals that have already been published, that they claim they no longer use, distributed?  Of course, the Caliphate is so intellectually, magically and spiritually bankrupt one must assume that they still rely heavily upon these rituals, although in their hands they are quite dead.

I also encourage you to read The Rape of Thelema in the Sword of Horus section.
