Crowley Countdown - Day 5

"Pour water on thyself

thus shalt thou be a Fountain to the Universe.

Find thou thyself in every Star.

Achieve thou every possibility.

-Aleister Crowley

"Every Man & Woman is a Star"

This is one of my favorite Crowley quotes, and it comes from "The Book of the Law".

It is of course open to all kinds of interpretations. To me it is a bold declaration that each of us is completely unique. A star in our own orbit through the universe. Cultivating our uniqueness is our birthright. We all have the right to be who we are without validation. Please read Crowley's "Liber OZ" for his manifesto of human rights.

Note: In Crowley's kabbalistic system, this card is exchanged with The Emperor on the Tree of Life. The reasons for this are far too complicated to explain here. More info can be found in his "Book of Thoth". Those following these meditations explicitly will want to exchange these cards appropriately.
