"Presumption in Magick is,
therefore, sure to be punished – swiftly and justly. The error is one of the worst
because it attracts all those which, being themselves weak, are made malignant by
pain,
and find their principal solace in taking it out of anyone they feel they can
bully. Worse
still, the hysterical expansion of the Ego means
the deepest possible treason to Truth. It
invites obsession by every deceitful demon. They puff up the pride of the fool still further; they
flatter every foible, exhort him to acts of the most ridiculous
kind, induce him to talk
the most raving rubbish, and teach
him to think himself the greatest man in the world – nay, not a man, but a god. He
scores every fiasco as a
success, takes every trifle as a token either of his sacrosanct
sovereignty, or of the malice of hell whose hounds have been mustered to martyr him. His
megalomania swings from maniacal exaltation to melancholia, with delusions of persecution." -Aleister Crowley
A perfect description of Marcelo Motta and the
fools that he spawned.
