@mtlmtlmtlmtl: Methods plural. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as smug - what I'm trying to get across is that a lot of people who have been failed by western religions in their desire for the numinous, and an understanding of how on earth it relates to everyday reality, can come across Crowley and buy into his approach. But actually, they might find that their own religious traditions have something that can do the job. Catholicism has a very serviceable mystical tradition, for example, even if things like Thomism and the persecution of the Beguines and the Quietists helped to make it less obvious.
