The Book of Lies is a complex work of occultism. Deciphering its
many layers of hidden meaning requires a little patience and more
than a beginner's knowledge of Thelema. For those interested in
passing beyond the initiate stage, the reward offered by a deeper
understanding of this challenging text is well worth the effort.
Inspired by Psychopathia Sexualis, Richard Krafft-Ebing's
controversial study of sexual perversity, White Stains purports to
be "the literary remains of George Archibald Bishop, a neuropath of
the Second Empire." Aleister Crowley's book of provocative verse
was clandestinely published in 1898 and of the hundred copies that
were originally printed, only a handful were spared destruction by
Her Majesty's Customs.
The Aleister Crowley Collection includes Crowley's seminal works
The Book of the Law and The Book of Lies, as well as his esoteric,
entertaining drug memoir, Diary of a Drug Fiend.
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.
The Book of Lies consists of 93 chapters, each of which consists of
one page of text. The chapters include a question mark, poems,
rituals, instructions, and obscure allusions and cryptograms. The
subject of each chapter is generally determined by its number and
its corresponding Qabalistic meaning. This is the original 1912
public domain text without Aleister Crowley's 1921 commentary and
without any later additions by others. As Crowley describes it:
"This book deals with many matters on all planes of the very
highest importance. It is an official publication for Babes of the
Abyss, but is recommended even to beginners as highly suggestive."
