Is it ok for a national government to negotiate with terrorists? Should we be prepared to make a pact with the demon Terrorism - or should we remain forever sworn to the demon No Compromise? This is a book about demonolatry. It was never meant to be: it began as a cobbling together of all my essays and stuff written in the last twelve years. But it turned out to have a pretty consistent theme. A theme that begins with Crowley's ‘Aeon of Horus’ and the new, Thelemic morality. From that viewpoint demonic pacts are re appraised: are they not a negotiation with the demonic, as opposed to sworn allegiance? Many old and new demons lurk on these pages: black magic, sexism, elitism, satanism, publishers, prejudice, suicide, liberalism, violence, slime, old age, bitterness, war and the New Age. These demons hold keys to power and wisdom. They are prepared to negotiate. Are you? What they said about his last volume of essays

He appears more than ever a combination of Robert Anton Wilson and Tommy Cooper... The Peter Pan of the British occult scene, and long may he go on diverting us. Paul Geheimnis, Chaos International No 15

Last Confession of the Beast 666 - Almost

Snoo Wilson Pub - August 1997 £9.99/$20 250 pages ISBN 1869928 474

‘I never killed Raoul Loveday with a magical spell.’

Aleister Crowley, otherwise known as the Beast 666, shared membership of the Golden Dawn with W.B. Yeats, and publishers with D.H. Lawrence. Now in a beyond-the-grave autobiography, he recounts his own vocation, his practice of sex magic, and his bruising encounters with his contemporaries.

The great magus, whose own world-conquering creed, The Book of the Law, was written in Cairo in 1904, was according to him, no murderer, but a prophet and practitioner of all kinds of sexual freedom and new magical systems.

‘I shall continue to protest my innocence as long as I have a hole in my bottom.’

The Wickedest Man in the World? Or Post-Christian Messiah? Read this book and judge for yourself.

Snoo Wilson is a writer and playwright who presented an apologia for Aleister Crowley in the TV series ‘Without Walls’. His previous novels are Spaceache and Inside Babel (Chatto). His play, More Light, about the heretic Giordano Bruno, is published by Mandrake of Oxford.

Reviews

‘intriquing and sordidly entertaining' - Gay Times

‘Brilliant . . . the Great Beast explaining himself in lapel-grabbing prose:’ Simon Callow, Sunday Telegraph

‘Excellent . . . perverse, funny and at times as inexplicably moving as its subject. Recommended’ - Fortean Times

'Probably the most fun you'll have with a British novel all year' - The Edge

...thanks to Snoo for a great book. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Made me laugh and cry. Excellent.' - Sparky

'. . . really good fun. Its not very kind to old Crow, and the language is a bit more vulgar than required (or than he would have used), but on the other hand. . . it does produce a charming caricature of Ye Great Beast that serves to perpetuate the myth. ...Dear 666 would have felt flatttered... What I liked about the book, part from its jokes and the invaluable occult illustrations, is the contrast between Crowley as a human being (and egomaniac) and the Master Therion, the perfect ego-less adept he would have liked to be . . . Its the difference as between a Thelemite and a follower of Crowleyanity. Symonds Great Beast was almost totally obsessed with the Demon Crowley, Wilson's novel is better balanced , it mixes the ego tripper with the Logos of the Aeon. This produces some confusion, and maybe this confusion is close to the conflicts that the real AC experienced. I suspect that he often got muddles up as to who was who in him and who cares, and put on his Great Magus Hat whenever his ego felt threatened and misunderstood. Considering that so many people are involved in the dull cult of Crowleyanity, and spend their time trying to be like the guru or wasting money collecting the master's underpants, a critical treatment of the person Crowley, such as you dared to inflict on the long-suffering public, is an excellent and much need magickal gesture.' - Jan Fries

Art In America

1869928-040 £ 2.50 /$4.95 pbk 16 pages
Written for The English Review in 1913, this essay says more about Crowley than about American Art. It was much criticized by contemporary American artists for its prejudice and unfairness. Crowley says in his Confessions that he planned other, more positive essays dealing with the present and future of American Art. The essay's lasting value is historical - how differently things have come to look in the intervening seventy years. Aquarian Arrow, No 26...' A sound contribution to the promulgation of Thelema'

This minor reservation aside, an excellent addition to the library of the working magician.
