If it's of any worth mentioning...
About that kid from CA that was going to meet Bree but didn't b/c his dad died....
I think that it could be safe to say that if you're working for The Order, you would try to come up with some way of getting help from that kid from CA. (After all, the kid IS a scientist!) |

The dove is a symbol for the Holy Spirit in the Catholic faith, the third part of the Holy Trinity. In calling the Holy Spirit a "pidgeon," Crowley trivializes it. Crowley's contrasting what he supposes to be blind faith in Christian superstition with what he supposes to be wise faith in Gnostic science (his teaching). I'm certain that this is the meaning of the original Crowley quotation.
As for the quotation's use on the HoO website, there may be more to it. I enjoy garnet's interpretation, contrasting pagan sacrifice with modern cult science (hardly obvious, smarty garnet). That would be a perfect new context for this quote and quite brilliant if that's where the writers are going with this! |
Beautifully wrought argument, Cleo.
I would also like to muddy the waters some by mentioning that pidgeon is also the term used occasionally in place of vulgate. As in the bible was translated from the latin vulgate. transposes to the bible was translated from pidgeon latin.
That would still maintain your argument, Cleo, that Crowley was trivializing the teachings of the catholic church. Sounds like him! |
