“If this is Upper Silesia, what on earth must Lower Silesia be like?”
P.G. Wodehouse

Aleister Crowley
“You are doing divination when you ask me a question. Divination is NOT getting an answer mechanically from 'Napoleon's Dream Book'. It is a method of rendering the mind lucid, 'opened unto the Higher'.”
Aleister Crowley
