  • Author Aleister Crowley

    Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), poet, mountaineer, secret agent, magus, libertine, and prophet is considered one of the most renowned and controversial figures to emerge from the Western occult revival era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His tradition lives on in his many books and through the O.T.O., a religious order with lodges to be found all over the world.Lon Milo DuQuette is the US Deputy Grandmaster General of the O.T.O. and a highly regarded scholar and author whose books cover a vast array of topics, including magick, tarot, Western Mystery Traditions, and Qabalah.

  • Author Leila Waddell

Aleister Crowley’s magnum opus, in which he systematically expounds on mystical and magical theories and techniques.

This profusely illustrated edition brings together the complete texts of all four parts of Liber ABA (Book 4) in one volume under the overall title Magick. This edition incorporates Crowley`s own additions, corrections, and annotations, and restores dozens of passages omitted from the first editions.

Magick is the fundamental textbook of modern magick in the New Aeon. It also has invaluable teachings for students of Yoga and meditation. Crowley mastered the practices of Yoga during his studies in the East, and writes about them lucidly, without recourse to the imprecise language of mysticism.

Beginning with a discussion of the universal origin of world religions in mystical revelation, Magick then explores the theory and practice of mysticism and magick in the light of modern scientific thought. Crowley`s own revelation, The Book of the Law, is then treated as a case study, with an autobiographical study of events leading to its reception.

Extensively cross-referenced and annotated, this edition features over 100 diagrams and photographs, as well as a glossary, bibliography, and detailed index. This second revised one-volume edition features revisions based on new typescripts for a more accurate text than all earlier editions, and it includes a revised AA curriculum, a new syllabus of the O.T.O. papers, and an important, previously-unpublished AA paper.
