Considering Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic proclamation that “every man and every woman is a star in 1904’s ‘Liber AL vel Legis’ and the importance of “starry wisdom” and “the stars” being “right” in H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos it kinda makes sense I’d be feeling French Electro/Techno guy Vitalic’s “Waiting for the[…]
