And there is a version from Eliphas Levi as well.
Well, I do not trust too much any information sourced from internet and online. Chances are many of them might have been written by anyone, who has no clue what they are writing about. I still go for good old printed books.
.... I meant what Crowley wrote about it.
Hmmm, that seems a modern problem, either one way or the other.
A bit like wiki, some believe everything written there, some poo poo anything referenced to it.
Ummm ... there are these things called references .... they can be easily looked up, especially using the internet. Also the internet publishes academic papers and peer reviewed journals, thesis, etc, as well as mindless youtubes.
Admittedly a book (published by a commercial company - not the author) is going to have to pass some process of validity ... it is usually to do with marketing.
But to give books validity over information that can be checked (if it shows) references and peer review on the internet ... ?
Erik VonDanniken has books published. And they are full of ..... ' crapa esteemo' .
Any way, look up what Crowley said and some good sources about the history of the idea - try Rabelais ... if your library has anything on him ....
