Tarot by HHOriginally by Mysti:- But, but, but I AM the Holy Grail Oh wait that wasn before:- I got inducted into the HAOC's You know I'm going to have to puzzle on that for a loooong time don't you? [/quote] I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you "The vizor of his helmet is lowered, for no man can look upon his face and love, for the same reason, no part of his body is exposed " Same source, page 85 Although we know from his history that there was a certain mean and misogynist streak in Crowley, his long friendship with Lady Harris demonstrates another side of him as well And why am I pointing this out, you ask? To underline his use of "man" and mankind in his writings He uses man to mean human, regardless of gender or age Contemporarily, the genderless use of man seems stilted and awkward, but it was a truly courtly gesture on Crowley's part Or so it seems to me [b]ADDENDUM[/b] I know that the Thoth Deck is greenfrog's deck of choice, I hope we can entice her to join this discussion!
