Atomic Ritual is an album from rock band Nebula released in 2003. Some copies of the CD come with a Liquor and Poker sticker. On one of the flaps of the album case there are 5 lines of text reading:
*"In the years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth,Man Mastered the mammoth and horse, and Man was the lord of the earth."
*"He made him a hollow skin from the heart of a holy tree,He compassed the earth therein, and Man was lord of the Sea."
*"He controlled the vigour of steam, he harnessed the lightning for hire;He drove the celestial team, and Man was the lord of Fire."
*"Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated, the choirs of the aeons declareThe last of the demons defeated, for Man is the lorde of the Air."
*"Arise, O Man, in thy strength! the kingdom is thine to inheritTill the high gods witness at length that Man is the lord of his spirit."

Underneath this the initials A.C. are printed. A.C. are the initials of occultist Aleister Crowley who wrote this. This is not Nebula's only Aleister Crowley reference, their MySpace tagline reads: "Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law." a direct quote from Crowley.
