What is sacrement AL II: 22 ?

[Diamond-otherkin]

Hi everyone,
I was reading Stephen Mace and at some point he says "Yet in its arrogance, the State has usurped power in a realm not its own. It has reached beyond the public acts that have always been its purview and now asserts a right to supervise private consciousness. This has been done by defining the sacraments of AL II: 22 as contraband. These sacraments are sacred to Hadit, the center and Source of all Self-Identity."
What are these sacraments ? (if those in the know are able to answer)
I would hazard to guess it may be psycho-active substances? Not seeking to do anything else than understanding what the author meant

I would like to know too. The way it is written looks like 11:22 which is my birthday and usually means somthing when I see it randomly like this.

Hey

I assume this refers to Liber AL vel Legis - Crowley's Book of the Law.

Book II, verse 22 begins, To worship me take wine and strange drugs whereof I will tell my prophet, & be drunk thereof! They shall not harm ye at all.

There might be a deeper meaning to "wine" and "strange drugs" (with Crowley, there's usually plenty of meanings) but at its most simple, and based on the strange drugs that Crowley seemed to use (but note that I'm no Crowley expert), it's probably referring to hashish, opium or mescaline.

And uh, wine. I like a nice buttery Chardonnay. But be wary of Crowley's advice that it won't harm you. I had a bottle and a half last night, and I stubbed my toe when stepping off the kerb on the walk home. Aches like a mother-humper this morning.
