Crowley conducting rituals

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This disc contains some extremely rare and valuable recordings of Crowley himself. For those interested in his rituals, this disc will help to learn the intonations and pronounciations he uses in his invocations/rituals (including his pronounciation of Enochian--the first and second Aethers (keys) are recorded both in English and in the original Enochian itself. Some of the disc consists of his poems (interesting, but not relevant to the student or researcher interested in his metaphysical work) and there's even a recording of him singing! Those who have read Crowley extensively will be suprised at his voice, he doesn't sound as one would expect him to. But once he is actually intoning a chant, the "voice" that you would expect appears to come out. Overall, a bit crackly (not unusual considering the very old sources) but well (if a bit unevenly) digitally enhanced, inconsistent (mixing magickal ritual with poetry--as, of course, did the Equinox), and--to the individual with a serious interest in Crowley, indespensible. I rated it 4 stars for value to the collector or practictioner, and would rate it 2 stars for quality and consistancy. Overall, a must have."
Rise of new Aeon

"This recording of Aleister Crowley is wery precious for all who know about him, and learn from his books. Aleister Crowley clearly speaks about Lux Hermeticum (Western occultism) and Thelema which means "Will" (translated from the Greece language).Precious for the people who are the memmbers of O.T.O. (Ordo Templi Orientis), which means Order of the western Templar knights. Templar knights used to guard Jesus's grave by the time of Cross wars.
Wery precious CD, what else can I say...but only for the right people..."

"If you're into Crowley, you will definitley want this cd.
no one does it quite like Crowley.
Understand this recording was made around 1915-1920 on Thomas Edisons wax cylinder recorder.THE QUALITY IS POOR!
However,ANY recording of this man is worth having.
and if you've ever struggled with Enochian,hearing him saying the calls,the correct pronounciation will help you 100%[along with book Enochian sex magick]
Look this aint no rock n roll,its a tool."
