"The Great Work is, before all things,
the creation of man by himself, that is to say, the full and entire conquest of his faculties and his future; it is especially the perfect emancipation of his will." - Eliphas Levi
"In my third year at Cambridge, I devoted myself consciously to the Great Work, understanding thereby
the Work of becoming a Spiritual Being, free from the constraints, accidents, and deceptions of material existence." - Aleister Crowley
"The Great Work is the uniting of opposites. It may mean the uniting of the soul with God, of the microcosm with the macrocosm, of the female with the male,
of the ego with the non-ego—or what not.” - Aleister Crowley
"I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform" - David Bowie
"Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior" - David Bowie
"There you are, you drive like a demon
From station to station" David Bowie
Well, if creation comes from Kether (Heaven) down to Malkuth (Materia Prime/Earth) in Bowie's patented lightning bolt symbol from station to station down the Tree of Life, the magician's Great Work is to reunite with Heaven by ascending back up the Tree of Life, crossing the Abyss and becoming "a Spritual Being" as described by Crowley. To do it, "One must die, one must be crucified" as the Thelemic band Tool sings on their song Eulogy...a song dedicated to Bill Hicks.
