i keep looking for this picture but i don't see it. is it on the back wall or on the left side?

I detailed its location a little more accurately in the article; it's above her bookcase, a few feet to the left of her door. - Dharmabum420 13:37, 2 October 2006 (PDT)

best view of the picture

i think the picture can be best seen in the episode "a change in my life" [1] and that makes sense because it's about her religion.

Kathulu/Cthulhu

I'm removing a lot of this stuff as I don't see where it's coming from. Cthulhu is not mentioned in the Bible, and even if there is someone claiming that Leviathan is another name for Cthulhu, Leviathan does not appear in the book of Revelation (no 's'), nor anywhere in the New Testament. --Brucker 12:06, 9 November 2006 (PST)

Whats wrong with this: A text version of The Book of the Law is available on the internet.???--modelmotion 20:00, 21 November 2006 (CST)

Prophet

I think I heard something about Crowley being described as a prophet. It would be nice to have a section about that.--modelmotion 17:26, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Any comment on the prophet question?--modelmotion 01:23, 2 December 2006 (CST)

Book of the Dead

According to this Crowley did infact translate the Book of the Dead and that secion should not have been deleted.--modelmotion 01:06, 1 December 2006 (CST)

No, according to that, Crowley had the Stele of Revealing translated from Egyptian...NOT the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The Egyptian Book of the Dead was not the only work ever translated from Egyptian to English. You really need to actually read the material you are quoting and actually follow up on the quotes. --Tannhaus 01:35, 1 December 2006 (CST)

I found this on an external site and it basically says what I've been saying

I have no problem leaving the book of the dead off the Crowley page for now. I need to read up a little on the subject like you suggest. I do however think the book of the dead is a very interesting topic for discussion.--modelmotion 01:22, 2 December 2006 (CST)

As for the Cake of Light comment in your article, what we have is a direct quote from Wikipedia, if thats wrong perhaps you can get them to change the soucre material and we can change the quote accordingly.--modelmotion 01:29, 2 December 2006 (CST)

But, the simple fact is that Crowley had nothing to do with translating the book of the dead. Crowley did not know Egyptian. When the Stele of Revealing was translated, he had to pay the curator at the Bulaq museum to translate it for him....and that's just a small egyptian tablet.

As far as the cake of light comment, you added the quotes after I made my change it appears. But, while the source material was not wrong on that quote, I just added to the information. --Tannhaus 11:51, 2 December 2006 (CST)
