Need your help - Pentagram
-
I am doing a paper for my 18 year old high school attending girlfriend. Does anyone know what year Crowley wrote "The Pentagram."
Ya know, in the years of the Primal Course, yadda yadda.
Kind of important. Need to know for a citation. (Jim??)
Many thanks!

If you mean the poem - Black Pearl Vol. 1 No. 3 has the below:
THE PENTAGRAM
In the Years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth,
Man mastered the mammoth and horse, and Man was the Lord of the Earth.
He made him an hollow skin from the heart of an holy tree,
He compassed the earth therein, and Man was the Lord of the Sea.
He controlled the vigour of steam, he harnessed the lightning for hire;
He drove the celestial team; and Man was the Lord of the Fire.
Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated, the choirs of the aeons declare
The last of the demons defeated, for Man is the Lord of the Air.
Arise, O Man, in thy strength! the kingdom is thine to inherit,
Till the high gods witness at length that Man is the Lord of his spirit.ALEISTER CROWLEY

Many, many thanks, GabrielO. This is just what I needed. Though I did convince her to skip that class today in lieu of doing a bang-up job on the paper.
Takamba, thanks for the info. I am aware Crowley did not write the Pentagram ritual, as it's origins are pre-Judaism. Well, he did write the Supreme Pentagram rituals that involve throwing the Pentagram from one's mind into eternity, charging it as it flows out. I have actually taken to forming the pentagram, throwing it, tracing it as it flows out, then charging it. Pretty cool, eh? It is very effective though.
Guys. I am seriously worried about the future of this place. When I was in high school, I never did homework, barely did classwork, but convinced my teachers to let me slide for the semesters by literally acing their exams. Even this was slightly educational.
However, I look at the curriculum of my girlfriend, and.. um... it's like elementary school assignments in high school. Literally, kids should be able to do this work in fifth grade. And this is senior work. They have also taken pen and paper out of the classroom, and one is suspended if one refuses to pay to use a school laptop daily.
What happened? Who can feel a mass water-supply dosing coming on? Get most of the first world to shit themselves from forced ego-loss, and this ka-ka would just go away.
Thanks, everybody!

No, he neither wrote the Supreme Ritual nor the method of "vibrating divine names by the formula of the middle pillar" (as it was called in the GD).
