The Best Of Gordon White On THC: Remembering The Dark Prince of Chaos Magic
Aleister Crowley and the Shamanic Path
White references Aleister Crowley's early experiences with the Goetia to illustrate how magical forces can interact with practitioners regardless of formal rules. He cites Terence McKenna's view that the purpose of life is to familiarize oneself with the after-death state. The segment contrasts the "safe" path of guided shamanic Ayahuasca ceremonies with the more chaotic, self-directed path of the modern magician.
