To begin with...

It seemed appropriate to begin this blog with a rather obscure quote from The Book Of The Law, or Liber AL vel Legis, written by Aleister Crowley in Cairo, Egypt im Jahr 1904.

"But your holy place shall be untouched throughout the centuries: though with fire and sword it be burnt down & shattered...another...shall awakethe lust & worship of the Snake; another soul of God and beast shall mingle in the globed priest; another sacrifice shall stain the tomb; another king shall reign; and blessing no longer be poured To the Hawk-headed mystical Lord!" --The Book Of The Law, chapter III, verse 34.

On  the authorship of  The Book of The Law, the Wikipedia entry says: 

"Crowley says that the author was an entity named Aiwass, whom he later referred to as his personal Holy Guardian Angel (or "Higher Self")."

"Crowley went to great pains to argue that Aiwass was an objectively separate being from himself, possessing far more knowledge than he or any other human could possibly have. As Crowley writes in his Confessions: "I was bound to admit that Aiwass had shown a knowledge of the Cabbala immeasurably superior to my own" and "We are forced to conclude that the author of The Book of the Law is an intelligence both alien and superior to myself, yet acquainted with my inmost secrets; and, most important point of all, that this intelligence is discarnate.""

He is absolutely innocent of the consequences of his actions -- he is a pure fool, which means that he is an innocent, [a] good man who slowly, starts to understand the world.

fool/fo͞ol/ Noun: A person who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person: "what a fool I was to do this".

The great fool of the Celts: Duala.

"Crowley also spoke of Aiwass in symbolic terms. In The Law is for All,[7] he goes on at length in comparison to various other deities and spiritual concepts, but most especially to The Fool. For example, he writes of Aiwass: "In his absolute innocence and ignorance he is The Fool; he is the Saviour, being the Son who shall trample on the crocodiles and tigers, and avenge his father Osiris. Thus we see him as the Great Fool of Celtic legend, the Pure Fool of Act I of Parsifal, and, generally speaking, the insane person whose words have always been taken for oracles."

The "Queer Stranger."

"This is a considerable advance on those purely natualistic phenomena above described; in the Great Fool is a definite doctrine. The world is always looking for a saviour, and the doctrine in question is philospohically more than a doctrine; it is a plain fact. Salvation, whatever salvation may mean, is not to be obtained on any reasonable terms. Reason is an impasse, reason is damnation; only madness, divine madness, offers an issue. The law of the Lord Chancellor will not serve; the law-giver may be an epileptic camel-driver like Mohammed, a megalomaniac provincial upstart like Napoleon, or even an exile, three-parts learned, one-part crazy, an attic dweller in Soho,* like Karl Marx. There is only one thing in common among such persons; they are all mad, that is, inspired. Nearly all primitive people possess this tradition, at least in a diluted form. They respect the wandering lunatic, for it may be that he is the messenger of the Most High. "This queer stranger? Let us entreat him kindly. It may be that we entertain an angel unawares.""[1]

Now... this final thought.

"Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children of men!"
