greetings from the void! I go way back. in 1969 I was 13 years old. I became a big fan of tim leary and veered into eastern works (evans-wentz), jung etc. you need to understand the context of the times. Castaneda, hess and lovecraft books flooded the market. Crowley,fortune and regardie followed suit. my first Crowley book was 1973's "magick without tears. a most fortuitous beginning, that, and the confessions. kenneths books were a revelation. I was a fish on a hook. I started with a.c. & the hidden god in 1974 and became an obsessive fanatic about a.o.s.. when out-side the circles(cycles) of time came out, 'It' literally changed my life. this book is a magical masterpiece, imbued with a life of 'its' own. scattered throughout are (hidden in plan sight) explanations of kenneths techniques, the man was a master of evocation. I struck up a correspondence with Maggie(nema) and moved to Cincinnati, sucked up into the vortex. I better stop. I could go on and on, but that might be bad manners on a first date.
