The following text is a slightly amended copy of my Master's Thesis in Religion. The format is still under revision so there may be differences in font (for example the spelling of Sanskrit terms may be missing letters) or alignment. On a personal note, though I am sympathetic to both Crowley and Jung this paper is not meant to be an apologetic statement for either man or their works. If anyone has any comments or questions feel free to e-mail me at lloydkeane@hotmail.com

At present the Diagrams and Appendicies are not available on this Web Page.
