3.0 out of 5 stars Moon Child by Alester Crowley, March 18, 2000

This review is from: The Moonchild (Mass Market Paperback)

Both beautiful and innocent, she becomes the object of quest of Black Magicians. Under the cloak of protection of a White Magic Order her safety at first seems assured. But those places where black and white become gray innocent mistakes begin to happen.

Attempts are made by the White Order to hide her. And when all seems to be within the protection of the Magical Order it becomes apparent there is an informant within the deepest and most sacred chambers of their ritualistic practices.

It becomes apparent the clash against evil and good both lose sight and meaning of the madden as she becomes an object of desire on both sides. White begins to crumble, as direction of the quest is unknown. It seems even one of the most highest adversary of Light becomes an alloy when his concept of the quest is shattered.

In the end there seems to be little difference between White and Black. It was as if some higher force created the quest between Darkness and Light for its own amusement. But amusement and desire are two essential ingredients, which bring two opposites back together for this supprize ending.
