Planets follow elliptical orbits, so that the distance is an average throughout the year.
The real sun-earth distance varies from second to second.

Interesting thoughts about the Resh, especially considering today's date:

Where I live sunrise is currently around 04:30, sunset 21:45.
Boleskine would be more like 04:15 and 22:20.
Then you have the midnight one.

At midwinter, these times would be around 08:25 & 15:40, and 09:00 & 15:30 for Boleskine.

I'm guessing in California, for example, there would be much less variation due to the lattitude.

Just read any of Crowley's books and it's obvious he had a great sense of humour.

e.g. his recommended reading list in Theory & Practice.
his rant about spiritualists in the same book, accussing them of being "obsessed with sex"
the story about his complaint about "conspicuous" prostitution in Foyers.

Many thanks for your replies.

I have enough to keep my busy for quite some time, since I also have to make my weapons and form my temple.

LBRP is a good suggestion, of course!

Thanks again,

Njal.

After many years neglecting my studies, I have returned.

Recently I have re-read The Book of The Law and am re-reading Magick in Theory in Practice, paying especial attention to the appendices which I didn't grant enough attention to before.

As well as reading, I intend to restart my Magickal Record.
I am working alone.

Where would you recommend I begin?

I have found some useful sounding exercise in:
Liber O vel Manus et Sagittae
Liber E vel Exercitiorum
Liber RV vel Spiritus

But am not sure which of these are appropriate.

Any ideas?
Eternal thanks.

Greetings.
My name is Njal and I am 34yo, from England.
I have been studying occultism since the age of approx 14.
I also study other magical systems such as norse, wiccan, heathen and even buddhist meditation.
But my main interest is Crowley and related.

I have never been part of an organised group though!
