This revised and expanded second edition brings together the
uncollected short fiction of the poet, writer and religious
philosopher Aleister Crowley (1875-1947). Of the fifty-four stories
in the present volume, only thirty-five were published in his
lifetime. Most of the rest appear in this collection for the first
time. Crowley was a successful critic, editor and author of fiction
from 1908 to 1922. Like their author, his stories are fun, smart,
witty, thought-provoking and sometimes unsettling. They are set in
places in which he had lived, and knew well: Belle Epoque Paris,
Edwardian London, pre-revolutionary Russia and America during the
First World War. The title story The Drug stands as one of the
first accounts - if not the first - of a psychedelic experience.
His Black and Silver is a knowing early noir discovery that
anticipates an entire genre. Atlantis is a masterpiece of occult
fantasy that can stand with Samuel Butler's Erewhon. Frank Harris
considered The Testament of Magdalen Blair the most terrifying tale
ever written. This second edition adds several additional stories,
including the Qabalistic allegory Ambrosii Magi Hortus Rosarum,
featuring the author's previously unpublished annotations.
Extensive editorial end-notes give full details about the stories.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. This
oft-misunderstood phrase, which forms the basis for Crowleys
practise of Magick, is found in The Book of the Law. Dictated to
Crowley in Cairo on three successive days in April 1904, it is the
sourcebook for Crowley students and occultist in general. This
deluxe edition features new scans of the original manuscript, with
Crowleys notes and annotations found in a later draft of the work.
Sex magick, the practice of utilising sexual energy and sacred sex
rituals as a potent force to reach higher states of consciousness,
has been cloaked in secrecy for centuries, passed down as a secret
doctrine through many esoteric orders, from the Knights Templar to
the Rosicrucians, the Freemasons and, finally, the O.T.O. 20th
century English occultist, mystic, ceremonial magician and O.T.O.
leader, Aleister Crowley, believed that sexual magick was the key
to unlocking the secrets of the universe. He dedicated the entire
second half of his life to exploring its mysteries. This book
presents the bulk of Crowley's written works on the subject.
The Book Of Thoth is now a classic in the field. It is used by
students of the Golden Dawn as well as those who want to understand
Crowley's tarot. This is the definitive study of the Egyptian tarot
and is used as a key to all Western mystery disciplines. Color
plates of eight cards are also included.

precautions necessary for the successful evocation of 72 spirits,

numerous manuscripts from which he made this translation
The magnificent Crowley Thoth Tarot deck contains kabbalistic and
astrological attributions described in Aleister Crowley's The Book
of Thoth.
Goetia [refers to] all the operations of that Magick which deals
with gross, malignant or unenlightened forces. Goetia is sometimes
thought of as a wild card, something that can get out of control,
something which expresses the operator's lower desires to control
others and improve his own personal life. And, in fact, this
potential loss of control, this danger, the desire for self
improvement and great power is exactly what attracts many people to
Goetia while horrifying and repelling others. Crowley's "Goetia" is
brought to life with vivid illustrations of the demons. Commentary
by DuQuette and Hyatt bring the ancient arts into the modern day.
An admirable collection of Crowley's aphorisms-- Witty, subtle, and
instructive paradoxes that challenge and exhilarate.

This is a true story. . . It is a terrible story; but it is also a
story of hope and of beauty. Written by Aleister Crowley, Diary of
a Drug Fiend tells the story of young Peter Pendragon and his lover
Louise Laleham, and their adventures traveling through Europe in a
cocaine and heroin haze. The bohemian couples binges produce
visions and poetic prophecies, but when their supply inevitably
runs dry they find themselves faced with the reality of their drug
addiction. Through the guidance of King Lamus, a master adept, they
use the application of practical Magick to free themselves from
addiction. Released in as his first published novel in 1922 and
dubbed a book for burning by the papers of the time, Diary of a
Drug Fiend reveals the poet, the lover, and the profound adept that
was Aleister Crowley.
