Hi Mogg..
>>sounds
like a rerun of that whole thing about the solar lodge of the OTO and Charlie
Manson - (there's an article on the internet by PR Koenig with some of the
documents and background to that)<<
Except that the current accusations against the OTO
are completely unfounded and come from a charismatic Christian loon. The OTO is
very, very respectable these days.
>>Talking
of which - i read somewhere that the 'kill the pigs' slogan came from a crowley
ritual - does anyone know if that's true??<<
Dunno. Never
read or heard it myself. But pig sacrifice was certainly a part of ancient Greek
chthonic ritual, to goddesses such as Demeter and Persephone and was performed
in women's ritual such as the Thesmophoria. Pigs were also utilised
as methods of purification ie/ see Aeschylus's Orestian trilogy etc.
But then again... we're talking about two different types of pigs here... aren't
we. ;-)
