The Book of the Law, the holy text that forms the basis of Thelema,
was transmitted to Crowley by the entity known as Aiwass in Cairo,
on three successive days during April 1904. Acting as a medium,
Crowley recorded the communications on hotel notepads and later
organized his automatic writing into a short, coherent document.
Aiwass/Crowley presents The Book of the Law as an expression of
three god-forms in three chapters: Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
All three books of Francis Barrett's superb compendium of occult
thought are presented in this single volume, complete with the
original charts and illustrations. Commencing with Magic, we are
offered a comprehensive accounts of its capabilities and the tools
needed for its use. Natural magic is defined, as are the many
philters and potions which may be created and imbued with its
essence. Various historical examples of magicians who had, for good
or ill, gained public notice for their practices are given. The
later chapters meanwhile concern the properties of magical stones
such as the legendary Philosophers Stone, and the arcane arts of
combining creatures of nature, and the sometimes monstrous results.
The Magus itself is termed the Celestial Intelligencer; beginning
with a basic account of the four elements, we traverse each in more
detail before delving into the more esoteric practices. The
symbolism of numbers and of the astronomical bodies of the heavens
are detailed, sometimes with charts.

Stephen Skinner has been interested in magic for as long as he can
remember. He wrote, with Francis King, the classic "Techniques of
High Magic" in 1976. He followed that with "Oracle of Geomancy and
Terrestrial Astrology" which has become the standard work on
Western divinatory geomancy. Books on Nostradamus and Millennium
Prophecies followed in highly illustrated editions. Stephen is also
the author of eight books on feng shui, including the first one
written in English in the 20th century. In the 1970s he was
responsible for stimulating interest in John Dee and Enochian magic
by publishing the first reprint of Casaubon's "True and Faithful
Relation of What Passed for Many Yeers between Dr John Dee and some
Spirits", and Dr Donald Laycock's key reference book on the angelic
language "The Complete Enochian Dictionary". With David Rankine, he
discovered what happened to Dee's most important manuscript, his
personal book of angelic invocations which he kept in Latin, and
how it was preserved and developed in the 17th century into a full
working Enochian system. Only ten percent of this material reached
the unpublished archives of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn,
and even this was then suppressed by the chiefs of the Order, so it
did not appear in Israel Regardie's monumental work on the Order
rituals and documents. They have also traced the routes down which
were passed the classic techniques of invocation and evocation from
late mediaeval grimoires, through Dee's magic, via Ashmole, and the
aristocratic angel magicians of the 17th century, and Frederick
Hockley to the senior magicians of the Golden Dawn.
