Is this in good taste? Is this polite? No, it is not. Is it a joke? Or is Crowley destroying his own aesthetics and transforming his morality through the poem? Why revel in those things which most frighten and disgust us?

“Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing & any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt.” (AL I:22)

Consider the following two chapters of Liber Aleph.

DE NUPTIIS MYSTICIS (On The Supreme Marriage)

O my Son, how wonderful is the Wisdom of this Law of Love! How vast are the Oceans of uncharted Joy that lie before the Keel of thy Ship! Yet know this, that every Opposition is in its Nature named Sorrow, and the Joy lieth in the Destruction of the Dyad. Therefore, must thou seek ever those Things which are to thee poisonous, and that in the highest Degree, and make them thine by Love. That which repels, that which disgusts, must thou assimilate in this Way of Wholeness. Yet rest not in the Joy of the Destruction of each complex in thy Nature, but press on to that ultimate Marriage with the Universe whose Consummation shall destroy thee utterly, leaving only that Nothingness which was before the Beginning.

So then the Life of Non-Action is not for thee; the Withdrawal from Activity is not the Way of the Tao; but rather the Intensification and making universal every Unit of thine Energy on every Plane.

~ Liber Aleph, Aleister Crowley
