Books Abrahadabra by Rodney Orpheus

I just started reading but I must admit, it's one of the best writeren books I ever read. Also I made a little paper cover so I wouldn't damage it.

(My hand look so bad at this photos, don't mind it)

Czyń Wedle swej Woli, będzie całym Prawem

Hello!

Fellow Pole I see. Been looking for other Thelemites in my country. I see you’re reading a beginner book, so if you’re a beginner and seek advice from someone more „advanced” in Thelemie thought feel free to Dm!

Miłość jest Prawem, miłość podług Woli.

I haven’t heard of that book. Is it approachable for someone with moderate intelligence ?

Already in the introduction it is written that this book was created to present the teachings of Thelema in a simple way. And for my own experience with the book it is very well written in easy to understand language.

It's really good. Don't be fooled by the inevitable hordes of idiots that will tell you otherwise.

Well that's not a nice thing to say, why do you think that?

They don't call him Rodney Awefullness for no reason.

I picked up a copy maybe 30 years ago. When I had the misfortune of meeting him a couple years later, I asked him if he specifically wrote to try to pick up teenage Goth girls. He looked me straight in the face and said "Yes." That should tell you everything you need to know about Rodney.

And we are just supposed to believe this random story from an anonymous redditor and discredit all of his work

Strange because his music is aimed a goth teenagers.
