That sure doesn't stop you from communing with them. You are the Thelemite, committed to the Western occult tradition of Spare, the Golden Dawn, Crowley etc. Though you lead a life of elaborate ritual, you realize that truth and falsehood in this ritual are irrelevant distinctions: the only thing that matters is what works.
Now if you just loosen up a bit, you could cross the Chasm of Choronzon.

For the record, I <3 Phil Hine. Of course, I am also very fond of Wilson, Spare, and even Uncle Al, at least when he's being funny. I read Crowley with the assumption that the more serious he appears to be when making a statement, the more likely it is that the statement is bullshit. The ones to watch are the ones where he appears to be making a joke. I grant that this is totally an artifact of how I think about humor in the world, but hey, it's really been working for me so far. Also, I find the word 'Thelemite' to be inherently funny. Not just because it's a close-rhyme with 'catamite', either.
(Note: I removed a big picture of Crowley from these quiz results. He was wearing an extremely embarrassing hat.)
