Another aspect of Crowley’s magical understanding of the XI° in his sex magick is the theme of anal birth, an abstruse theme he returns to several times in his writings. The sex-magical creation of demonic/elemental entities by mingling secretions in the anus – as opposed to the more common concept of the vaginal generation of such beings – is an important facet of the Beast’s practice. Although Crowley also provided his students with traditional instructions for the birth of a homunculus or “moonchild” to be conceived heterosexually, he believed a daemonic creature spawned through anal sex magick would he of a much higher order, a “Spirit … partaking of both natures, yet boundless and impersonal because it is a bodiless creation of a wholly divine nature”

Crowley was intrigued with the Middle Eastern sex-magical tradition dating back to ancient Egypt which posits the breeding of psychic intelligences via male homosexual union. He writes in his privately printed 1910 paean to buggery, The Scented Garden Of Abdullah The Satirist Of Shiraz: “When the power of the Crescent menaced that of the Cross, sodomy was put down with Draconian rigour because the Turks believed that the Messiah (a reincarnation of Jesus) would be born of the love between two

men. Sodomy was thus a religious duty with the Turk; at any moment his passion might be used to bring about the millennium; so with the Christian it became heresy, and was punished as such.”

As always, Crowley’s primary intention is to shock any Christian who may have inadvertently stumbled upon his writings. His claim that “sodomy was a religious duty” is wishful thinking that would find little agreement among scholars of Islam, despite the prevalent British slang word “Turking”

to describe anal intercourse. Almost forty years later, a diary entry recording a waking nightmare reveals that the Beast’s always cloacal imagination is still 290

gripped by the concept: “A most frightful semi-dream (between two normal motions) of giving birth to a foetus per anum. It was a mass of blood and slime. The nastiest Qliphotic experience I can remember.”

Through the eyes of the Vama Marga initiate, who experiences the entire human body as the Temple of the Nine Gates, Crowley’s religious fixation on this orifice is no stranger than the more traditional left-hand path veneration of yoni and lingam. If we are to give Crowley the benefit of the doubt, and assume that his anal mania, like his coprophilia, is based on something other than personal fetishism, it must be admitted that all religious ideas – even anus worship – can only be interpreted subjectively. And yet, throughout his magical diaries, Crowley repeatedly notes that this or that magical working was performed per vas nefandum, “by the unmentionable vessel” – his favored Latin euphemism for anal intercourse. Even if in jest, his constant use of such a disparaging term for an activity to which he supposedly accords sacred status seems contradictory, if not simply puerile.

One comes away with the impression that Crowley’s preference for the inverse opening
