William Blake is the chairman of visionary art, who has his residence in the highest heavens and deepest hells. He once again opened the gates to this place for the creative worker in art that cannot be seen with the eyes one uses to read this text. At the age of 4 years he recieved the "second face", and had visions of angels that watched him of prophets sitting on meadows and the abillity to talk with the spirit of the fly..... First his probably most recognized works: the red dragons (his pictures of Satan) www.artcyclopedia.com/red-dragon-william-blake.html

The Voice of one crying in the Wilderness The Argument. As the true method of knowledge is experiment, the true faculty of knowing must be the faculty which experiences. This faculty I treat of. Principle I. That the Poetic Genius is the true Man, and that the body or outward form of Man is derived from the Poetic Genius. Likewise that the forms of all things are derived from their Genius, which by the Ancients was call'd an Angel & Spirit & Demon. Principle II. As all men are alike in outward form, So (and with the same infinite variety) all are alike in the Poetic Genius. Principle III. No man can think, write or speak from his heart, but he must intend truth. thus all sects of Philosophy are from the Poetic Genius adapted to the weaknesses of every individual. Principle IV. As none by travelling over known lands can find out the unknown, So from already acquired knowledge Man could not acquire more; therefore an universal Poetic genius exists. Principle V. The Religions of all Nations are derived from each Nation's different reception of the Poetic Genius, which is every where call'd the Spirit of Prophecy. Principle VI. The Jewish & Christian Testaments are An original derivation from the Poetic Genius. This is necessary from the confined nature of bodily sensation. Principle VII. As all men are alike (tho' infinitely various), So all Religions , &, as all similars, have one source. The true Man is the source, he being the Poetic Genius.

note that blake talkes about the poetic geniuse as source of all religion, and that crowley talks about the holy guardian angel as source of all religion...
