Aleister Crowley in the Charity Shop

At lunchtime today I bought The Magick of Thelema A Handbook of the Rituals of Aleister Crowley, from, of all places, the British Heart Foundation charity shop on Western Road. Obviously I will never get around to reading it, but that's another matter. The elderly woman behind the counter, who looked very much like my Nan, looked at it and said 'Now, that does look interesting doesn't it?' It was all a bit like walking into a bookshop and discovering notorious occultist Aleister Crowley (uh... except he's been dead a long while) expressing an interest in Readers Digest, or perhaps espousing an interest in Radio Four soap opera The Archers.
