It's a very special knowledge that you've got, my friend
You can travel anywhere with anyone you care
It's a very special knowledge that you've got, my friend
You can walk around in New York while you sleep in bed
I will travel round the world one night
On the magic wings of astral flight

"People aren't very bright, you know. They say they want freedom, but when they get the chance, they pass up Nietzsche and choose Hitler." "Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars... think about it... I think he was quite as good as Jagger. It's astounding. And, boy, when he hit that stage, he worked an audience. Good God! He was no politician. He was a media artist himself. He used politics and theatrics and created this thing that governed and controlled the show for those 12 years." "I think I might have been a bloody good Hitler. I'd be an excellent dictator. Very eccentric and quite mad." "I'd love to enter politics. I will one day. I'd adore to be Prime Minister. And yes, I believe very strongly in Fascism. The only way we can speed up the sort of liberalism that's hanging foul in the air at the moment is to speed up the progress of a right wing, totally dictatorial tyranny and get it over as fast as possible." [Bowie interviewed by Cameron Crowe: "A candid conversation with the actor, rock singer and sexual switch–hitter", printed in 'Playboy', September 1976.] So were you involved in actual devil worship?  "Not devil worship, no, it was pure straightforward, old–fashioned magic." The Aleister Crowley variety? "No, I always thought Crowley was a charlatan. But there was a guy called [Arthur] Edward Waite who was terribly important to me at the time. And another called Dion Fortune who wrote a book called 'Psychic Self–Defense' [1930, republished 1971]. You had to run around the room getting bits of string and old crayons and draw funny things on the wall, and I took it all most seriously, ha ha ha ! I drew gateways into different dimensions, and I'm quite sure that , for myself, I really walked into other worlds. I drew things on walls and just walked trough them, and saw what was on the other side!""DRUM'N'BASS ODDITY", 'New Musical Express', February 1997, by Jay Mathews. When Bowie had asked the journalist George Tremlett whether he had ever tried to communicate with the dead using a Ouija board, Tremlett said no.  "Don’t," replied Bowie, "It can mess you up, especially if you’re taking drugs." (David Bowie: "Living on the Brink", London, 1997. p. 149.) Arthur Edward Waite (1857–1943?) was an English Christian mystic and writer on masonic and occult subjects and editor of the works of others. He was received into the Golden Dawn in 1891 although his involvement was sporadic and caused a schism the following year. He never felt at home in the original G.D. and so he purged magic from the rituals, replacing it with mysticism. He re–organised his own G.D. by banishing the Gods of the Egyptians and rewriting the rituals in a more Christian form. Still, he kept some of the cabbalistic teachings. Some of his members were of Rudolf Steinerite persuasion. When Waite branched off in 1903, Algernon Blackwood followed him. "The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts" (London 1898) was an attempt to synthesize the procedures of all of the famous Grimoires. It was revised in 1911 as "The Book of Ceremonial Magic". His Christian Golden Dawn lost much of its appeal and he closed it down in 1914. Today, Waite is best remembered as the designer of the Rider Tarot with its period charm ofart–nouveau. It was produced under Waites direction by a certain Pamela Coleman Smith. Dion Fortune's (1891–1946) original training was in the Golden Dawn. She felt that the Order needed new blood, that it was manned "mainly by widows and grey–bearded ancients". Indeed, of the men, a considerable number were, or became freemasons, while many of the others — and most of the women, seem to have come from the Theosophical Society of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Fortune was temporarily expelled from the order because it was said she revealed too much of the inner teachings. She defended herself by pointing out she had been told none of it, that she had worked it out herself. The then head of the Order did accept this but it does suggest that members at the heart of the Golden Dawn taught ideas concerning sexual polarity, which are not recorded elsewhere. She was rather more into what is now called Channeling and left the Golden Dawn to form the Society Of Inner Light which was based on her own inner plane contacts and which was a little empire of her own. Her "Psychic Self Defence" (London 1930) is the best book on the subject.  Mirrors are often used for psychic development, magic, repelling evil, divination and stealing souls. Bowie is often posing with mirrors. "Here are we - one magical movement from Kether to Malkuth"  "Making sure White Stains "- Station to Station "The magic of the Aeon of Horus consist in the realization of the identity of Kether (Nuit) and Malkuth (Hadit). Their union of the consciousness of the magician produces Tipereth, the Sun Son, Horus, the Lord of the Aeon"  - Kenneth Grant - Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God. Sex Magic  "I'm closer to the Golden Dawn   Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery" - Quicksand, David Bowie.
