When I first told friends I was going to a meeting of the New York Ordo Templi Orientis branch, called Tahuti Lodge, the general consensus was that I should try not to die, and I should avoid sexual contact.

If you're going to straight-up steal the name of a grumpy old man's book, make sure he wasn't best buds with noted Satanists Aleister Crowley and Anton LeVay. Darwin Porter wrote an "updated" version of Kenneth Anger's 1959 scandal classic Hollywood Babylon, and now he has the forces of eternal darkness to contend with. "It's very bizarre, but a close friend of Kenneth told me he's come out with Satanic incantations against me. I have to protect myself. He was a friend of Aleister Crowley, the Satan worshipper who drank the blood of virgins."
