Crowley claimed his signature phrase was dictated to him via a
disembodied entity called Aiwass, it can be traced back to both Rabelais
(whose Abbey of Thelema in Gargantua and Pantagruel had a similar

violent motion in the third book prologue, 170 adjectives for tired
testicles in 3:28; and sometimes serious, as in the detailed description
of the Abbey of Thelema. |
