i agree that a.c. "mixed his signals"; it was a deliberate strategy. he also intentionally corrupted (or customized) a certain proportion of the occult traditions he was handing on (& combining). in this way he was rather post-modern. i think there is a lot to be gained from considering (as opposed to swallowing whole) the things he wrote. most of the negatives about a. c. lie in his character.

oh yeah--& his taste in poetry.
