Fake news. That's not Latin.

Look it up on google translate and you will be surprised. I was. It is Latin.

Those aren't Latin words, sorry. If you put any of those words in Google translate they won't translate. I see the whole phrase does, but it's some sort of weird bug. It doesn't work on other translation engines.

Try it: https://translate.yandex.com/?source_lang=en&target_lang=ga&text=ba%20len%20ci%20aga

Yes, the phrase does work. I know, because I ran it yesterday. I agree that it sure does not look like Latin. I had only one year of it in college. Do you think someone at google is hoaxing us? I believe that is entirely possible since google employees are mostly bent.

My Latin sucks, but that's not Latin. Try it any other translation service. Try the individual words in Google translate. None of it translates. It's just some weird bug, or maybe Google is down with the pedo satanists lol

Ok interesting that the individual words do not translate. I only took a couple years of Latin and I don't recognize any of it either. But I'm certainly no expert.

It might be because Latin is not a dumbed-down language like English and actually has a rich morphology, hence you aren't going to find all of the many variations of a particular word just from looking up a dictionary. If you want an example, look at the word 'aga', it is an inflection of ago:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ago#Latin

Goggle translate clearly recognizes it as such, even on it's own:

I just tried it on those sites and it doesn't work. Translate.com doesn't even do Latin. You faker you! Lol

Try lowercase.

I just did Latin to English on Google Translate (to confirm what /u/EternalSunset said) and it came out: Do what you want. Just as ES said. In Spanish: Haz lo que quieras. A longer translation that I have seen is: Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. So I owe an apology to BISH and any other user who tried to tell me. Sorry.

Balenciaga is a Basque surname, it doesn't come from Latin.

They hoaxed me with this one.

Why do people continue to quote half of Aleister Crowley's words: "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" and "love is the law, love under will"

[–]LarrySwinger2 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

The phrase that appears in The Book of the Law is "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law", not "all of the law". And from the very beginning he explained that there's a distinction between doing "what thou wilt" and "what you want". In The Message of the Master Therion he writes:

[I]t should be clear that “Do what thou wilt” does not mean “Do what you like.” It is the apotheosis of Freedom; but it is also the strictest possible bond.

For Thelemites, one's will is a dynamic purpose in life, that's what they strive to fulfil. This is at the very basis of the religion, and nobody interprets the phrase as base sense gratification.

And you call the book a precursor to LaVeyan Satanism. That's a claim that's often repeated. Crowley influenced the entire modern occult movement, he didn't influence LaVeyan Satanism more than any other current. Calling it a precursor implies that Crowley was a Satanist. He used that symbolism, but he didn't worship Satan, therefore he wasn't a Satanist. Feel free to post a link that proves otherwise if you have it.

Plot twist everyone who's not a Christian is a satanist but may not realize it

[–]EternalSunset[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Hyper-individualism, amoralism, treating hedonism as a virtue, putting the whims of the self above the communal well-being... Hmmm, yeah, I have no idea where LaVey could have possibly gotten those ideas from either...

[–]ID10T 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Sounds like me! I do what I wilt that's for sure. Hedonism rules. At the same time I look out for others. I just saved a lost dog yesterday and returned it to its owner. Just because you're down to fuck and party doesn't mean you can't help people too.
