theweaselkingAlistair Crowley's Lam & the Little Grey Men
A Striking Resemblance
I first became curious about a possible connection between the "grey aliens" of popular UFO culture and the activities of certain occultists after seeing several of UFO investigator Ray Fowler's books on the recommended reading list of a satanic website. In an idle moment I had done a Google search on Ray's book The Watchers II, and one of the websites that listed it - much to my surprise - was the recommended reading list of a satanic group. (It is not my moral judgment that this group is satanic - the group itself calls itself satanic.)
I found this both disturbing and inexplicable - for what reason would a UFO book be included in the curriculum of a satanic group, and why Ray's book in particular? I emailed Ray and asked him if he had any insight into the situation, but he was as perplexed as I was. And there matters rested for a year or so until additional information came into my hands, information that may indicate - much as John Keel himself believed (Mothman Prophesies) - that occult activity may be an ingredient of the "grey alien" mystery.
The below pictures bear a resemblance and may hold the key. The first picture is a drawing made by occultist Alistair Crowley of an entity he had invoked repeatedly in 1918 and called "Lam." The second picture is a composite drawing by Ann Direnger (Contact of the 5th Kind - Imbrogno) of an "alien" type reported throughout 1980's in the Hudson Valley. Having noticed the similarity, I proceeded to investigate the connection.

Date: 2004-05-10 11:51 pm (UTC)The similarities in the two drawings speak to the collective subconscious and the not-so-brilliant hoax that was Alien Autopsy(TM) -- at least the latter drawing does. I can't account for the Crowley drawing, because I don't know enough about him. Although there was a lot of Darwin-talk, and I believe he did some theorizing about what humanity's next incarnation would look like.
As far as the supernatural being an ingredient of the alien phenomenon, it's the only other way to go, really. It defies human science (and therefore can't be rationalized), and it defies human religion (and therefore must be from the devil).
But that's just my opinion.
