Child Sacrifice

Myths

Aleister Crowley sacrificed hundreds of children over the years.

[edit]

Truth

"For the highest spiritual working one must accordingly choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force. A male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence."

And in a footnote

"It appears from the Magical Records of Frater Perdurabo that He made this particular sacrifice on an average about 150 times every year between 1912 e.v. and 1928 e.v. ..."

If Crowley had literally sacrificed 150 children per year for 16 years, that would be 2400 sacrifices, more than double the highest estimates of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history. Surely, Scotland Yard would have noticed.

What Crowley is actually referring to here is a form of Sex magick that can not result in the birth of a child -- in other words, masturbation.
