We are a diverse group of people to culture , nation, age and habits. Some of us think that Aleister Crowley is a magician, others a philosopher, an artist other. All of us, however, believe that popular opinion in contrast to Aleister Crowley, the data of a century of art history testify to his presence, sometimes cumbersome, in most of the phenomena of pop culture, underground, industrial, metal , psychedelic. The Beatles For example, enter the figure of Crowley on the cover of the so-called New Age and Sgt.Peppers slip phenomena trade was always anticipated and predicted by Crowley who was able to see beyond the fog of war and decadence of early twentieth century, building a new morality , a new ethic, a new way of thinking as 'new' could not and can not collide with the old system implanted on the suffering and pain. "Do what you want, this is the whole law," "Every man and every woman is a star," "Love is the law, love under will" just three sentences of the famous Liber AL vel Legis written in Egypt in early twentieth century. Equations are pure, crystalline of moral conduct which starts from the realization of our deepest aspirations, love of neighbor, the uniqueness of each human individual.
Perhaps not many know that Crowley lived in the early twenties in Cefalu, Sicily. In Cefalù founded a community where the members practiced the principles of the philosophy of Thelema defiance of the local population, subject in all respects by the clergy, homophobia, the constant and persistent psychological terrorism of the church.
Crowley The place where he lived, the Abbey of Thelema, when Crowley was forced to leave the island, then became a kind of place 'demonic', 'satanic', adolescents Cefalù nocturnal expeditions organized only for the 'thrill' of terror, just as if it were a haunted house, a place 'bloody'.
Continuing 'pilgrimage' of tourists from all over the world came to Cefalu Thelema have always been seen in a bad eye, considered only a mass of metal deflected by the inhabitants. None
then dealt with the place, except a few people who have stopped in time to take care of well.
brings us to today. The place is almost completely destroyed. It could be a tremendous source of tourism for Cefalù, could also be a regulation of these elusive 'pilgrimage', yet he prefers to see it collapse rather than exploit it as they did to Boleskine in England for the birthplace of Crowley.
It 's absurd. And it is absurd that anyone is dealing with it is also considered a madman, or at least have to be in agreement in all respects with the philosophy of Crowley. I believe instead that the problem is much more 'secular' and 'political'. In recent years
Antonio Napoli, a student of Aleister Crowley of the reality of Palermo, has done a painstaking work of collecting materials that relate to Crowley and Thelema. Gathering around him scholars and artists, all dismayed by the indifference towards the historical site.
has opened a website that collects all the materials on the subject and I invite you to view: http://www.inventati.org/amprodias/thelema/grant.htm
For several years he tried to form groups of research and work dealing with the 'home', in which in different historical moments, I took part.
Perhaps the years were not ready, maybe we were not all linked. Today, with new media, Facebook first and foremost, we are able to communicate more directly and connect directly to institutions around the world with a click.
So why not try it again?
And I come to the point. Today, anyone, from anywhere in the world can contact us for help. We can create
events, media, concerts, workshops and projects to be submitted to the institutions. Visit the site
Antonio, subscribe to our Facebook group , come to find contact us and propose initiatives. Revive the only oasis in the humanism of thousands of militant anti-Catholic culture.
He shall see good in the coming months, in that of Thelema ..
