I do not recognize most of those. Though the ones that I probably have the most knowledge of would be the Chaos Magicians, though that has more to do with me enjoying the works and style of H.P. Lovecraft than any spirituality.
The Thelema ones were spot on except I do know many Thelemites who wear bright colors and some who even intentionally avoid black. The rest of them are totally right though.
The ones you'd never hear Crowley say, though... not as good... (like who cares, right, it's just a silly humor page, but hey I am bored):
This table of correspondences is too complicated...
Actually Crowley's claim to fame is simplifying systems which had become overblown. e.g. Freemasonry. His table of correspondences in 777 was itself a simplification of Golden Dawn "knowledge lecture" material.
I think it's about time I settled down with a family and started going to church...
Crowley did indeed go through a Bourgeois phase where he tried to live a "normal" life with Rose Kelly. Then on their honeymoon that all changed.
I couldn't fit this into Kabbalah!
Actually Kabbalah is an antiquated and old aeon system which Thelema does not really make good use of. But Kabbalah works for most things, especially as a form of mental training and as a way to understand the concept of correspondences, and thorough study of it is necessary to understand why and how Thelema requires a symbolic, literal, and practical tradition of its own. Sadly no complete system has yet been devised which suits this purpose, though Liber Trigrammaton is a good start and some are working to develop this further.
