I wonder about this line too:
"Such lights she gives as guide my bark;"
bark? when I listened to the recording I thought the word was 'path'. But mabee I'm wrong. I might venture to say some barking lessons might have done him good. Spare might have given him roaring ones. I liked Spare much more than Crowley, he seemed more sincere but just as cracked, confused. Though he certainly was a therianthrope, I don't think he was at peace with it.
"Austin Spare died in London on May 15, 1956 at he age of 70. The greatest magickian par excellence, who could do or be whatever he believed — chose nothing, and spent his latter years alone with his canvas and his beloved cats.
"There is only one diversion for misery and that is intoxication." "

he could do or be whatever he believed? Realy? And so he ended his life alone with his cats. But he for all his great magic , did he realy become one of them? Or understand anything? with a quote like that I would say no. Poor man. I get the impression that he ended up very DISenchanted. Not his fault realy too much human influence twisted him up IMHO.
realy its like that 23 enigma thing. Realy I think he would have been better off studying mathematics...
"...there are beings of intelligence and power of a far higher quality than anything we can conceive of as human; that they are not necessarily based on the cerebral and nervous structures that we know, and that the one and only chance for mankind to advance as a whole is for individuals to make contact with such Beings." Aleister Crowley
if thats true they are laughing their asses off...... not that they necessarily have asses.
if these entities aren't based on the cerebral nervous structures, then any sexmagik is pretty useless and you can't make contact with them that way. I bet Lamb was saying to him"would you stop jerking off an listen to what I am trying to tell you, you stupidnitwitts!"
