The Equinox (Volume I, Number X)

… an explanation and a demon- stration. That explanation and demonstration, in order to be com- plete, demand a work sufficient to fill a book. That book has been written, and we shall publish it shortly. Here is the title: The Reason of Miracles, or the Devil at the Tribunal of Science. “Why the devil?” Because we have demonstrated by facts what Mr. de Mirville had, before us, incompletely set forth. We say “‘incompletely”; because the devil is, for Mr. de Mirville, a fantastic personage, while for us, it is the misuse of a natural force. A med…

This book is for ALL: for every man, woman, and child. My former work has been misunderstood, and its scope limited, by my use of technical terms. It has attracted only too many dilettanti and eccentrics, weaklings seeking in “Magic” an escape from reality. I myself was first consciously drawn to the subject in this way. And it has repelled only too many scientific and practicai minds, such as…

…last." But from your questions I gather that what you want is advice on how to advise, how marriage as an institution is regarded by The Book of the Law. Very good. It is not actually mentioned; but that it is contemplated is shown by the use of the word "wife"-AL, I: 41. The text confirms my own thesis "There shall be no property in human flesh." So long as this is observed I see no reason why two or more people should not find it convenient to make a con tract according to the laws of customs of their community .

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

… these fetid, noxious and malignant spectres once more to prey upon my mind. {830} So much for the profane. For the aspirant I wrote the book called De Lege Libellum, otherwise called The Sandal, in which I analysed the Law as the source of light, life, love and liberty, and pronounced a panegyric upon it in each of these respects successively. For sustained sublimity of prose this book perhaps ranks next to those in which my pen was definitely and authentically inspired. (The criterion of such inspiration, by the way, is that in the case of an…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

PREFATORY NOTE Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. It is not very difficult to write a book, if one chance to possess the necessary degree of Initiation, and the power of expression. It is infernally difficult to comment on such a Book. The principal reason for this is that every statement is true and untrue, alternately, as one advances upon the Path of the Wise. The question always arises: For what grade is this Book meant? To give one simple concrete example, it is stated in the third part of this treatise that Change is the gre…

A course of study in philosophy is prescribed as a preliminary. The aspirant having assimilated all existing systems, he is instructed how to analyse the nature of the reason itself and thus how to cross the Abyss on the Intellectual Plane.

Diary of a Drug Fiend

Latest Novels THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED F. Scott Fitzgerald This book has caused an even greater sensation in America than This Side of Paradise. It is a long, searching, and absolutely convincing study of degeneration, that degeneration which ruins so many of the rich, young, idle people. The “smart set’’ of New York is hurled into the limelight and mercilessly revealed. A witty, pungent, and entirely orginal book.

Chapter I a Verses 54—57 77 Temple. So I could not properly understand this Book; how then could I effectively promulgate it? I comprehended but dimly that it contained my Word; for the Grade of Magus then seemed to me unthinkably high above me. Also, let me say that the True Secrets of this Grade are unfathomable and awful beyond all expression;1 the process of initiation thereto was continuous over years, and contained the most sublime mystic experiences—beyond any yet recorded by man—as mere incidents in its terrific Pageant. 1 [This is trea…
