jackshoegazer"In his Book of the Law, Crowley: wrote; 'the obeah and the wanga, the work of the wand and the work of the sword, these he shall learn and teach.'
"Substitute Obi for Obeah and Wan for Wanga and you get Obi-Wan.
"And what device is a wand one moment and a sword the next? A lightsaber, of course; and the relevance of 'learn and teach' is obvious, since Obi-Wan is the teacher.
... "When one considers that an Aeon is a span of time, akin to the term 'millennium', and that Horus is often depicted as a falcon, it does compel one to look at the Millenium Falcon in a slightly different light.
... "A part of the Star Wars universe is actually mentioned by name in one of Crowley's Holy Books.
"'Thy messenger was more terrible than the Death-star,' Crowley says.
