Muha! Just watched "The Witches of East Arlen." OMG funny as hell. Anyone else seen it?
I'm left with a nagging feeling that some of the satire is a bit more "spot on" than I'd like it to be, what with some practitioners and groups being (in some cases) a bunch of really un-empowered people entertaining silly delusions of grandeur.
IMHO, we should strive to be as successful in life as we are in magick, assuming that we keep them separate to begin with. But I also get irritated when "worldly success" becomes the only criterion for mystical achievement.

MonkMan418 --------------------------------- "It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.” --- Aleister Crowley
“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special." --- Stephen Hawking
Therefore, God is a monkey.
