1.0 out of 5 stars Another Junk from Crowley, Dec 14 2001

By

"william_tks" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tao Te Ching P (Paperback)

Anybody who gives positive reviews for this book doesn't really know what Tao Te Ching is about. In fact, they dunno the meaning of "Tao De" and yet give praises for Crowley's junk work.

Please study Chinese first then read the Chinese classic and avoid this junk.

1.0 out of 5 stars Thelemic Tao Te Ching, Dec 5 2001

By

Brian Cheong (Singapore) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tao Te Ching P (Paperback)

Fantastic imagination... and makes me wonder: "(...)"

Fancy reading about Tao Te Ching
from someone who couldn't even pronounce Chinese words correctly...
Crowley had done a great job of convincing many that a cat is
essential a dog and the great thing is many giving praises for this
book.

Thelemic Tao Te Ching? Give me a break!

1.0 out of 5 stars Thelemic Tao Te Ching, Nov 19 2001

By

Frederick B F - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tao Te Ching P (Paperback)

Crowley has done it again... Great work from the hallucionary one. He has come up with his own "version" of the Tao Te Ching and I am a practioner of the Tao for many years and his works show great misunderstandings of the Way.

If you want to understand Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, put this book aside; if you are a Crowley die-hard fan, and want Thelemic "flavour", this one fits well but it is not Eastern philosophy. Be warned.

This text was in need of a translation by someone involved in magick, and Crowley was the man to do it. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Understanding of Tao Te Ching
Aleister's understanding and interpretation of the Tao Te Ching is way out. Anyone who gives a good rating of this book is probably a "fan" of Aleister and doesn't... Read more
