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.........
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.
