The Black Sabbath,
By Cicada "Brodadaktylos Eos!" (VT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clouds Without Water (Paperback)
This work by Crowley is a subtle but potent free fall into madness and debauchery as the reader is swept away into the minds and lives of two pagan lovers. Boundless free-love, dark magick, vampirism and sado-masochism is explored and enjoyed by our heroes. The story begins in beauty, but with the utter certainty that "the Gods have given this, no happy end." The mental disintegration of the characters is both subtle and gradual, so that we do not even notice the change that has occured in our character's minds - and our own.
It is introduced by Crowley, under the pseudonym of "Rev. C. Verey" - quite hilariously introducing his own work as a pious christian preacher. With the sole intention of presenting "Clouds without Water" to warn other lamb souls that Satan is alive and at work in positions of high power and influence - rearing up its head, unflinching, and unashamed. This work is amazing, and it does leave its finger prints in the psyche. It is a tragic handfasting between the Beast (Crowley) and the Scarlet Whore, Babalon (Laylah).

This review is from: Clouds Without Water (Kindle Edition)
I'm not sure what everyone else is going on about concerning this book because despite my purchasing it I cannot make out the words. This file is an assortment of images of a hard copy of the book that has been scanned. I've tried viewing it on both my kindle and on my android phone to no avail. It is an image so increasing the font doesn't help. Flipping the perspective into horizontal results in being able to see two whole pages of tiny typeface. I'd rather have it in pdf form and I really don't like reading those on this sort of device either. As far as the work itself I'm sure it's a blast!

Love and Beware this book O' reader,
By Toy Riot "J.C." (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clouds Without Water (Paperback)
I know many people will believe this sort of writing can corrupt your "soul" like the one reviewer claims. Those type people have minds which are aching for the freedom which such a poetic work like this brings. They must resist it due to their asceticism. The bad review can actually be seen as the highest praise! These people fear imagination and the expansion of consciousness, "Clouds" triggers much in the adpets imagination... "Lo! I am already lost to the world!"
If you are free of dogma you should enjoy this work immensely. If you are loaded with dogmas, you will surely drown in these pages.
