+[1]Flemming Hansen Oh I had to look up the quote; the singular
  reference linked it to Thelema which links it to Crowley
  ultimately.* While every ideology has a mystery behind it,
  either "ancient" or "handed down through the ages and sages", or
  what you often see in online debating, "self-evident" or
  "rational" - or what I hear from mathematicians, "mathematics is
  pure" -* it doesn't really matter where.* Every ideology has a
  history behind it from my viewpoint: nothing fell from the sky
  or has a "history from the misty ages at the dawn of mankind". I
  mean - it may - I'm not saying that it doesn't - but I grew up
  surrounded by teenage Wiccans (yeah, 80s - it was big then) -
  and EVERYBODY had some mysterious grandmother who taught them
  the ancient ways of xxxxxxx etc. And once you hear the same
  story enough times from different people, rather than confirming
  it, it get me skeptical and I go, "Ok now, how can all of these
  different people have the same story?"* and then I dig a little.
  that's not to say I found "the truth" as it were; I just like
  getting a well-rounded overview of subcultures; I find it all
  quite interesting.
