I would also like to ask you about The Book of The Law, passage 11, quoted below. Do you think that some Thelemites and OTO initiates also take literally these words of Crowley's / Aiwiss's ? "Trample down the Heathen; be upon them, o warrior, I will give you of their flesh to eat!"

11 - This shall be your only proof. I forbid argument. Conquer! That is enough. I will make easy to you the abstruction from the ill-ordered house in the Victorious City. Thou shalt thyself convey it with worship, o prophet, though thou likest it not. Thou shalt have danger & trouble.

Ra-Hoor-Khu is with thee. Worship me with fire & blood; worship me with swords & with spears. Let the woman be girt with a sword before me: let blood flow to my name. Trample down the Heathen; be upon them, o warrior, I will give you of their flesh to eat!

A lot of people like to look at Crowley's ridings and show how much of a monster he was with some of his Illusions. Not a lot of people actually look at the book of the law. It seems strange because the book of the law has verbage in it that is definitely a lot more in contrast to Modern values then the relatively liberal Crowley does. He complained throughout his life that the book of the law was very difficult to stomach. I don't find it that difficult.

You say above that "not a lot of people actually look at The Book of The Law".

The Cake of Light sacrament comes from The Book of The Law and is part of every Gnostic (Thelemic) Mass.

Gnostic Mass, when you're an actual initiate, is what you do. So to say that not a lot of people look at The Book of The Law is, quite frankly, incredulous.

The Cake of Light is eaten as part of OTO / Thelemic Gnostic Mass. A comprehensive description of how Gnostic Mass is conducted including the sex magic element can be found here - https://iao131.com/tag/cake-of-light/ & http://archive.is/by7Ar

I know the culture, I know the people, there's not a lot of variation at all and when you consider how poorly Cakes of Light are made it really shows how little a lot of OTO culture considers The Book of the Law, despite the importance Crowley placed on it.

If that's the case, can you tell me why they are they eaten at every Gnostic (OTO) Mass then, if, as you say, a lot of OTO culture considers little of The Book of The Law ?

It's widely known that Cakes of Light are eaten at every OTO mass.
