So my daughters call me "magician" And when my wife asks "now, why do you need that?", my daughters reply "mom, dad is a magician and a magician needs tools!". I just smile
Is your full name Crowley then Aleister?
Oh come on,somebody's gotta have a Ozzie Osbourne link here
Ah why not.
MR.CROWLEY-OZZY OSBOURNE
Crowley was an interesting character for sure.....

Talk about a thread derailment! Right into black magic....
I love how topics grow on MTO!
By the way, my mobile phone rings like "Paranoid"
Black Sabbath - Paranoid(1970 - Music Video)I also believe that Crowley had a very interesting personality, a very smart man with a very twisted sense of humor that many people took literally.
For example, Crowley in court:
Hilbery: cross-examining Crowley for the Defense) Are you asking for damages because your reputation has suffered?
Crowley: Yes.
Hilbery: For how many years you have been publicly denounced as the worst man in the world?
Crowley: Only by the lowest kind of newspaper.
Hilbery: Did any paper call you "the Monster of Wickedness"?
Crowley: I can't remember.
Hilbery: Have you, from the time of your adolescence, openly defied all moral convention?
Crowley: No.
Hilbery: And proclaimed your contempt for all the documents of Christianity?
Crowley: Not all the doctrines...
Hilbery: Did you take to yourself the designation of The Beast 666?
Crowley: Yes.
Hilbery: Do you call yourself The Master Therion?
Crowley: Yes.
Hilbery: What does Therion mean?
Crowley: Great Wild Beast.
Hilbery: Do these titles convey a fair expression of your practice and outlook on life?
Crowley: "The Beast 666" only means 'sunlight'. You can call me "Little Sunshine."
now Dion Fortune on the other hand
Dion Fortune's books are a great read but she always leaves important stuff out (and she admits it too). Crowley doesn't keep any secrets but you need to read between the lines or what you read could be perceived as absolute nonsense
But let's not start on this topic because I think we already are waaaay far from "Wife thinks your multitool is useless?"
