Freud (1905) proposed that psychological development in childhood takes place in a series of fixed psychosexual stages: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital.
These are called psychosexual stages because each stage represents the fixation of libido (roughly translated as sexual drives or instincts) on a different area of the body. As a person grows physically certain areas of their body become important as sources of potential frustration (erogenous zones), pleasure or both.
The simple, but ingenious goal, was to devolve humanity back to the anal stage of psychosexual development (a New Age defenseless and child-like state). This was, is, and always will be, the cornerstone of the Great Work!

The Crowley family lays claim to a long and significant brewing tradition, having run a brewery in Croyden, Surrey, for over 200 years. In 1821 Abraham Crowley (Aleister’s great uncle) and two of his sons procured The Brewhouse in Alton, from James Baverstock. It was in this brewery in 1768 that Baverstock through much experimentation with a hydrometer discovered he could determine the comparative strength of worts, thus laying the foundation for saccharometry, used by breweries and wineries around the world to this day.
The Brewhouse expanded under the Crowley management and began to offer beer and a sandwich at a cheap price, inventing, according to some historians, the pub lunch. They even get a mention from Charles Dickens in his weekly published journal as “providing a first-rate sandwich and a sparkling glass of Crowley’s Ale.” The brewery produced a fine range of offerings over the years, including a dark brown ale, oatmeal stout, old ale, ‘Alton Brew’ (unknown ale), brown ale, Family Ale, regular stout, and light pale ale.
In 1877 the Crowleys sold the brewery to the son in law of Abraham Crowley, and Aleister’s father re-invested his share in the sale into Amsterdam’s waterworks. His father was able to retire young on the profits, and when he died he left Aleister a considerable fortune which financed him throughout life and allowed him to immerse himself in his interests. So alcohol really is responsible for the anti-christ…
