Same-Sex Marriage: Eucharist of Life
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on November 14, 2009 at 5:05 amOne reason that the question of same-sex marriage is so controversial is that different groups of people define marriage very differently. Marriage has a very particular meaning in Thelema which can inform our ideas and opinions about public policy concerning marriage.
Same-Sex Marriage: the Reign in Maine
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on November 12, 2009 at 4:30 pmLast week, Maine voters repealed a state law which would have allowed same-sex couples to wed, becoming the 31st state in the U.S. to oppose same-sex marriage by a popular vote. Wow. Where do we begin?
Drugs and the Deathbed
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 27, 2009 at 8:15 pmApparently we have really upset a few committed, vocal people over on Tribe. Various fallacious objections to Aleister Crowley’s work appear from time to time, which we will take a moment to briefly address:
Best Chance for Libertarians
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 23, 2009 at 12:37 pmOne of our Facebook fans told us that he plans to vote for Aleister Crowley in 2012 because: Read the rest of this entry »
The Question of Propaganda

Top 10 reasons to support Aleister Crowley in 2012
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 19, 2009 at 10:15 pmThere are many, many reasons to become a supporter of Aleister Crowley for President of the U.S. in 2012. Here are our ten favorites at this time:
Popularity Contest?
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 17, 2009 at 11:57 pmSomeone on Twitter remarked that they didn’t understand why we didn’t pick an occultist who is more “public friendly.” Here, as promised, is our answer.
Poison Pill

Aleister Crowley on Politics
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 15, 2009 at 5:45 amIn lieu of a real post, here are some choice quotes on politics by Aleister Crowley. Enjoy!
Coming Out Day
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 13, 2009 at 6:37 amThis is late for coming out day, but we figure it’s never a bad time to promote sexual freedom. Here is a lovely quote from ol’ AC:
Barbara Bush
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 12, 2009 at 5:11 am
Barbara Bush is not Aleister Crowley's daughter, but she knows how to banish!
Barbara Bush is not Aleister Crowley’s daughter. Shocker, right? Thing is, this April Fool’s joke (note the date of the post) has made the rounds, and is now cited as evidence that she really is!
This is even more hilarious than seeing people quote Léo Taxil to prove that Freemasonry is Satanic (if only)!
On this day of the nativity of Aleister Crowley, we hope you enjoy this bit of humor at the expense of the easily deceived. If you were fooled by the original joke, don’t feel bad, we understand completely the desire to see a Crowley in the White House. Vote Crowley 2012!
Show us your pics
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 12, 2009 at 4:48 amYou can now print the AC 2012 image at home, as fliers or t-shirt transfers or, you know, stuff. Click here to download!
NEXT, take a photo of your AC 2012 propaganda, whether you bought it or made it, and send it to us at aleister.crowley.2012@gmail.com and we will post the best pics right here. Simply attach your photo and write that you give us permission to use the photo in this blog. Feel free to include a caption but it is not required. We’d love to link back to your website or whatever too, so give us a link if you’ve got one.
We are most especially interested in seeing the AC 2012 image on display near major city landmarks, world wonders, your home town square, on supermodels, in hard-to-get-to places, whatever. Be creative!
“I am come against sorrow, against weariness, against them that seek to enslave you.”
How will you vote?
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 11, 2009 at 11:00 pmAleister Crowley reflects extensively on voting in Magick Without Tears, Chapter 75. In it, he concludes:
“So, whichever way you vote, you are asking for trouble, or would do, if the vote had any meaning. The result of any election, or for the matter of that any revolution, is an almost wholly insignificant component of those stupendous and inscrutable Magical Forces which determine the destinies of the planet.”
Align yourself with the dominant Magical Force of this Aeon: support AC in 2012!
Don’t vote AC in 2012…
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 10, 2009 at 1:27 pm… unless it be your will!
Please spread the idea anyway! Whomever you think you might or might not end up voting for, tell your friends you’re writing in Crowley with yourself as VP. Ironically even, before explaining who you are really voting for.
For the actual purposes of this campaign it doesn’t really matter who you vote for in the end, if it causes conversations about Thelema to take place, does it? 1% of the vote may be a goal for some of us, but the work is its own reward.
High resolution of the AC 2012 image for your printing happiness, below the fold: (read more and comment) Read the rest of this entry »
No Commitment
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 9, 2009 at 10:41 amSome of our friends have pointed out that while they enjoy the idea behind this site, they are not prepared to commit to voting for Crowley, especially so early in the game. We want to assure you, that is perfectly alright! You can support our cause however you see fit, and we encourage you to vote according to your conscience when the time comes. We don’t expect you to commit at any point, ever. Please help us spread the word anyway!
Even if you don’t live in the U.S., that is no reason not to support our cause and promote this campaign. The campaign is truly only a vehicle for the message it carries.
At the very least, the campaign is a great conversation starter. Bring it up at the next party you attend! By doing so, you will help to spread Crowley’s fundamental message of freedom, and his declaration of the ultimate sovereignty of every individual.
Alien Nation
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 8, 2009 at 11:28 pmOne of our fans made an interesting point when he wrote, “you cannot combat alienation by means of alienated forms of struggle.”
It brings to light the fact that, while there have been many appeals to the alienated in this blog, struggling against that alienation is not the point of this campaign. On the contrary: for one thing, we would be hard pressed to find supporters if we eliminated alienation; and for another, why would we struggle against alienation from the masses, when we are individuals?

Questions from our fans
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 7, 2009 at 12:37 pmWe’ve been asked a couple of great questions by our fans:
1. Do you really want this guy as President of the United States?
Some of Crowley’s political ideas may seem strange, ludicrous, or unconscionable to you. We maintain that all Crowley’s ideas are worthy of consideration and discussion, and we are all free to come to our own conclusions and disagree with him on any subject of course. There are two important things to remember here… (read more and comment) Read the rest of this entry »
Can this be serious?
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 7, 2009 at 12:23 amWe realize that Aleister Crowley is dead. And British. And, moreover, not running for office. Nevertheless, we believe that the most effective vote you can cast in 2012 is one for Aleister Crowley.
No political party can get a candidate in the running unless he or she is bought and paid for by multinational corporations. No political party can win without corporate support, and therefore no serious candidate prioritizes the liberty of the individual.
Vote Crowley in 2012
In Aleister Crowley 2012 on October 7, 2009 at 12:00 amThe U.S. Presidential elections are an illusion of choice maintained by the corporate oligarchy which determines who will run for office. Don’t waste your vote by choosing between two mercenaries; use your vote to send a new message! AC 1% in 2012!
Vote Aleister Crowley in 2012 to promulgate the Law of Liberty!
