Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

I have been working on touching up the Aleister Crowley photo's that are now available from LIFE magazine. I am about half way through the project and am now sharing with the O.T.O. community the work I have done so far. The last picture at the bottom is designed to be printed out as an 8x10. Enjoy!

I will be working on the other photo's over the next week and posting the rest here when they are done. For those of you that can't wait, visit my blog, as I will be posting them individually, as they are completed, next to the original pictures.

With Love and Laughter, 

DD

Love is the law, love under will.

Welcome to the home of Speech in the Silence, the official podcast of the ARARITA San Diego Thelema Group. Today marks both the Solstice and the release of our first episode. The focus of Speech in the Silence podcast is on Thelema, Aleister Crowley, and Ordo Templi Orientis while also touching upon the subjects of magick, yoga, and initiation. We will include lectures, music, interviews, discussions, and more. Also, we will feature readings of the Holy Books of Thelema and other important texts written by Aleister Crowley. Speech in the Silence is also a creative outlet for Thelemites, and we encourage listener feedback and participation. Call and leave a message with your feedback, responses, readings, and rants on our voicemail line (don't forget to mention your name and location):

"Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google."

So of course I tried a search for Aleister:

http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&sa=1&q=aleister+source%3Alife

I'm not sure if any or all of these have turned up elsewhere previously, but I thought you all might be interested.

Apparently framed copies are available through LIFE. Which leads me to wonder: will we ever be able to buy quality framed photos from our archives? It sure would be nice and easy way to generate some additional income for the Order.
