FINAL ISSUES
Moreover, let it be publicly stated that the Society Ordo Templi
Orientis,
castletower.org and David Bersson can not be held legally responsible for
any negative reactions, be they psychological or psychical with the
writings
of any essays, opinions or announcements. Our Terms of Service are clear,
if you are
frightened by mystics, magicians, occultism, or even those who worship
Gods, you should not read the material on this website. We mystics are
falsely accused of being
evil and such false accusations are the delusions of die hard bigots.
"Magick is the science & art of causing change in conformity with the
will", as Aleister Crowley cleanly offers as a definition for our Art.
Moreover, let it be stated that no death threat, blackmail or harassment
is intended on this site. We are law abiding citizens with unique beliefs
who only aspire to share
our occult experiences and to teach those who have that true spiritual
aspiration towards the real Initiations.
The materials on the castletower.org web site are presented solely for
informational purposes. We at castletower.org are here to provide a place
on the
web for the magical community and our own membership. We are solely a
non-profit site. We have no affiliation with any other website
whatsoever.
Even further so, Mr. David Bersson is aware that his dramatic personality so-called is heard on this website in manners that might be misunderstood, twisted, or otherwise perceived improperly from the intensely poetic outbursts he uses when he composes his poetry, ritual and essay. Let it be known that Mr. David Bersson is a law abiding citizen exercising his right to freedom of speech and as a citizen of the United States of America proclaims his rights duly quoting the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
In conclusion, any email address other than sphinx11@castletower.org should be held in suspect; not having originated from the owner of this website; being David L. Bersson.
Note that I also own the Domain mastertherion.org; and I use the address abrahadabra@mastertherion.org; but this address is used for matters concerning the Abbey of Θελημα and inquiries to mastertherion.org.Those who have used my name with other email addresses to harass, hinder, mock, cause damage to my reputation and castletower.org are guilty of identity theft and the public should be warned that this behavior does not exist for a man of such purity as David L. Bersson of castletower.org.
