		<description><![CDATA[This web site was recently hit with technical issues which took it offline for a few days. Since the issues arose, the entire staff of the erwinhessle.com technical department (yes, all one of her) have been working only when bribed by promises of expensive material gifts tirelessly and selflessly to resolve them. The issues remain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The common warnings about the psychological harm that occultists can cause themselves as a result of their practices are well known. In The Complete Golden Dawn System of Magic, for instance, Israel Regardie wrote that: In the practice of Magic or anything which releases unusual amounts of energy from the unconscious the infantile megalomaniacal substructure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The mind runs along well-trodden ruts, and it does this by design. As we explained in Let there be no difference made, the mind would quickly become overwhelmed if it was necessary to fully process all stimuli received by the senses which would, apart from other things, be an enormous survival disadvantage. Suppose we are [...]]]></description>

Yet, every step of the way, individuals were presumably sufficiently similar to their parents [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came across a page on Facebook the other day called Petition the OTO to publish Crowley&#8217;s out of print books and Thoth deck. It appears to be a platform for criticising the OTO for &#8211; as the name clearly suggests &#8211; not keeping Crowley&#8217;s books in print, heavily populated by professional complainer &#8220;Keith418&#8243;.

		<description><![CDATA[Over on LAShTAL.com, I&#8217;ve been involved in a thread dealing mainly with the question of &#8220;knowledge&#8221;. During that discussion, presumably objecting to the idea that &#8220;knowledge&#8221; &#8211; which requires effort and honesty to obtain &#8211; is helpful in any way, a flaky new-age whelp calling himself &#8220;sonofthestar&#8221; (whose immortal take on the veracity of Crowley&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent email exchange, a correspondent asked me &#8220;whats your opinion on astrology?&#8221;, to which I replied, &#8220;superstitious nonsense&#8221;. A further question of &#8220;so, what do you think of astral projection or such? Is it all your mind playing tricks on you?&#8221; elicited a response which seems to have hit home.
