Anniversary of Crowley’s Death
Today is the 77th anniversary of the death of Aleister Crowley, who died at Netherwood in Hastings, East Sussex in 1947 at the age of 72.
“The feast for life is at a birth; and the feast for death at a death. It is of the utmost importance to make funerals merry, so as to train people to take the proper view of death. The fear of death is one of the great weapons of tyrants, as well as their scourge; and it distorts our whole outlook upon the Universe.”
– Crowley’s New Comment on AL II:41
So…have a merry commemorative Feast for the Death of Aleister Crowley!
By the way, Crowley never used the term “Greater Feast” as a euphemism for someone’s death.
