>I am Pan ! Io Pan ! Io Pan Pan ! Pan !>I am thy mate, I am thy man,>Goat of thy flock, I am gold , I am god,>Flesh to thy bone, flower to thy rod.>With hoofs of steel I race on the rocks>Through solstice stubborn to equinox.>And I rave; and I rape and I rip and I rend>Everlasting, world without end.>Mannikin, maiden, maenad, man,>In the might of Pan.>Io Pan ! Io Pan Pan ! Pan ! Io Pan ! is being edgy a requirement for being a 20th century poet?

>>23318273stop posting this faggot
>>23318273Nice poem, actually. Not edgy at all.
>>23318445Nah. It’s still literature, and I still say that as someone who isn’t particularly reverent or worshipful of Crowley, or an acolyte of his, although I think he still did, thought, and wrote some interesting stuff (despite while being a corrupted asshole in some ways who sometimes had a severe deficit of empathy, leaving a wake of some dark tragedies, suicides, and mental illnesses/nervous breakdowns in his life among some abused lovers/wives, friends and disciples). Despite that, if you’re interested in some of esotericism, mysticism, and where these overlap with the Western magical tradition particularly, Crowley is a sometimes remarkable student and expositor of these fields.

>>23319197that's what all the cool rich occultists are doing to reach gnosis.
>>23318273The guy was just a nut.
>>23318472lol manly p hall remarked concerning crowley's poetry that to such depraved ends even literature may be used
>>23318472Lit doesn't understand Crowley.
>>23318273even his best poem is nothing compared to Yeats' worst
>>23320476Explain Crowley without saying something to the effect of "you just don't get it"Protip: you can't
>>23320292>all the cool rich occultists you say?
