Crowley made claim that cards of the tarot had been 'switched' in the past in order to protect it 'from the profane'. His reassembly of the cards gave him claim as poohbah to Theosophists, as it seemed to clear up issues that the switched cards presented.
This was in reference to the switch of the Tzaddi and The Star cards, numbers 16 and 17, where 17 represents Divine Inspiration.
He re-named other cards to 'more accurately represent' the cards as named according to his research and understanding.
The word occult means 'hidden knowledge'. Be as wise as the serpent, yet 'blameless' (a better word than 'innocent') as a lamb.
Yes but he was a clown and a fool, play stupid games win stupid prizes. Lust is not and never will be a virtue, and it has nothing to do with power. Lust is a sin. Dude only poisons the well. He twisted the free will to something as "do whatever you want" and this is the start of a wicked logic going against God commandments to be pure and good. Thanks for your contribution. When you start calling evil good, things start to go down. That dude is the kind that puts womans above mans, another fallacy. He literally got insane.
In general, I agree with your statement. Crowley was a cad and crazy as a fox.
I'd add that Lust certainly isn't a virtue. But it certainly is one of the most powerful forces and I'm guessing its hold on Crowley's psyche might explain his decision to rename.
Luciferianism gains traction as 'correction' when orthodox religion fails to explain. Two thieves on the cross which is seen as symbol by the theosophist, and literal instrument of torture to the literlist. This creates impossible arguments rather than enlightened discussion. Same can be said about the strange 'coincidence' of Ishtar/Easter occurring over the same 3 days as the sun's vernal equinox. Discuss or argue, your choice. Be as wise as the serpents.........
The path of knowledge of good and evil is the reason humans got cast out from heaven/paradise. The fruit offered by the serpent to Eve. You can know all things hidden and occult but we still would be dumb and ignorant. Lust is not powerful, its just a way to weaken you. Its twisting the force of creating a new life for your own pleasures. Look at what that dude became with all his black magic, he turned into an insane wicked sex addict.

"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." (2 Tim 3:13)
In general regarding philosophies like that of Crowley,
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." (Col 2:8)
As another example of "philosophy and vain deceit". Nietzsche is considered a "great thinker", but he spent the last 10 years of his life insane. See again the "wax worse and worse".
I have no desire to defend Aleister Crowley's actions. Including producing the Moon Child that became known to the world as 'Barbara (Pearce/Percy) Bush.'
I find many faults in the theosophist cosmology/philosophy, let alone Luciferians who attempt to use it.
Re: The knowledge of the tree of life. That knowledge is what eventually distinguishes free will and the human soul.
'She' as the feminine nature of receptivity, specifically knowledge was the one chosen to 'tempt'. Eve means 'beginning'. Adam means blood red clay.
And this understanding of components as symbolic clears up misconceptions created by literal interpretations. It isn't for everyone. Lest they be as godS. Interesting quote.
Q, the Star. Divine Inspiration, 17.
Is a re-righting of the inverted interpretation of all things. A 'New Outpouring' of informational and spiritual knowledge aka Great Awakening, as the card showing the woman pouring water from a vase suggests. It's Elijah/Elisha to the church of the times. It happens as a cycle. Each book of the Old Testament is one of these cycles as explained in the stories. In this way, 'It's going to be biblical'.
it (lust) certainly is one of the most powerful forces
Being implies choice; lust implies inclination. Choosing to incline tempts being off-center. That being said...most vs less implies inclination by choice.
