  • 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.

"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."

This oft misunderstood phrase, which forms the basis for Crowley's practice of Magick, is found in The Book of the Law. The Book of the Law is the source book and key for Crowley students and for the occult in general.

The holy text that forms the basis of Crowley's belief system, Thelema, was transmitted to him by the entity known as Aiwass over the course of three fateful April days in Cairo in 1904. With his wife Rose as the medium for what would become known as the Cairo Working, Crowley dutifully transcribed the communications on hotel stationery.

This Weiser Books edition contains the corrected text of the 1938 edition with a facsimile of Crowley’s handwritten manuscript.
