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.

During the lowest point of his life, a man begins writing letters
to God to vent his frustrations - and unexpectedly receives answers
to his questions, written by his own hand. The bestselling
spiritual classic that has now sold millions of copies world-wide.
Neale Donald Walsch was experiencing the lowest point of his life -
from a devastating fire to the collapse of his marriage - when he
decided to write a letter to God to vent his frustrations. What he
did not expect was a response: as he finished his letter, he was
moved to continue writing, and out came extraordinary answers to
his questions. These answers - covering all aspects of human
existence, from happiness to money, to faith - helped Walsch to
change himself and his life for better, and the way he viewed other
beings. Walsch compiled all of these answers into a book,
Conversations with God, which was an instant bestseller on
publication in 1995, going straight into the New York Times
bestseller list and remaining there for more than 130 weeks. Over
twenty years later, it has sold millions of copies world-wide and
has changed the lives of countless people all around the world with
its profound answers about life, happiness, money, love and faith.
Conversations with God is a modern spiritual classic that remains
fresh and relevant in a world that needs its powerful messages
about who we are and our place in it more than ever.
