well, in defense of some aspects of thelemic practice, it's not all the same as honesty would have you think. i have alot of friends who are involved with versions of this. they're all quite healthy normal people who are interested in magick. there are crazy people out there and there are crazy people involved with this sort of magick practices, but not all are so and there's nothing particular about the practices that draw more crazies than any other religion does. what it does tend to draw, in my experience, is people who are interested in fantasy novels and being all "dark"--they usually stick around because the ""magick" is mostly group visualization rituals, so forms of group meditation.
so let's not go all fundy protestant about "the Occult" please.
