Aleister Crowley did talk about spells and sacrifices, and the ideal sacrifice to achieve a desired result. Often an intelligent young boy. Even if he was opposed to this himself, wouldn't it make sense that future adherents would will to exercise the most potent magic?

The people you know and practice which might not desire to do harm to children, but what if you were corrupted by immense power?¿

I'm telling you guys that if you don't read the chapter that I linked and I guess most importantly the very last line then you won't understand that it's euphemistic.

I don't agree with your interpretation of that last line, please see my other comments.

Elsewhere he has explicit instructions that that is what he's referring to. The use of orgasm and sexual fluids for magical and alchemical purposes is central to his methodology. If you don't accept that he's speaking euphemistically when he says he is after talking about how he's killed thousands of boys then I suppose you think that Crowley's the world's greatest serial killer of all time. Okham's Razor.

Please post the explicit instructions as sources so we can read and consider for ourselves.

Telling us to 'read the chapter' seems like a cop out in this debate you've initiated.

There's no proof Crowley killed thousands of boys, no. However we can read his words and teachings and many could interpret them in other ways than you have.

I quote your OP -

The only evidence people point to that he might have was an allegory he'd pinched from 18th century conspiracy theorists about the sacrifice of young boys where "sacrifice" is ejaculation and "boys" is sperm.

No.. we have Chapter 12 of Crowley's Magick in Theory and Practice which spells 'The Bloody Sacrifice' out* !!!

Which 18th century conspiracy theorists do you refer to? I find your interpretation of Crowley's words incredulous. 'Sacrifice' means ejaculation, and 'boys' means sperm? Seriously? Can you point us to where Crowley says this please?

Coming here and telling us 'up' means 'left', Im unsurprised at your voat count with this thread. At least come with a decent argument. You also invited questions and most you haven't answered.

I quote you from another comment in this thread -

I've never heard anyone interpret blood of a child as something other than the male sexual fluids just as blood of the moon is the female sexual fluids.

So the 'blood of a child' you interpret as male sexual fluids, and 'blood of the moon, monthly' you interpret as female sexual fluids?

I feel you are seriously misinterpreting Crowley's teachings, but hey.... do what thou wilt.
