A highly informative piece, tying together the histories of gnostic thought, the work of Aleister Crowley, and Gerald Gardner's creation of Wicca.

Lately, I've been getting exposed to tidbits of gnostic thought through some of the posts on Fantastic Planet and Tim Boucher. (And more recently, it seems, even Tori Amos. How could anyone not go googling for the Gospel of Mary Magdalene after hearing what she said on the interview disc? Too bad so many of its chapters were lost to history.)
