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featuring the author's previously unpublished annotations.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.

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.
An admirable collection of Crowley's aphorisms-- Witty, subtle, and
instructive paradoxes that challenge and exhilarate.
Provides a clear and detailed account of the preparations and
precautions necessary for the successful evocation of 72 spirits,
which are described in detail. Mathers' introduction discusses the
numerous manuscripts from which he made this translation
A complete book of magickal symbols and sigils, by two of the most
prominent and influential occultists of all time. The "Lesser Key"
contains the magickal sigils (symbols) of the 72 "Goetia," spirits,
which can be called upon by the adept to perform actions on the
astral plane. An essential work book for anyone interested in this
form of ceremonial magick
"Do what thou wilt." Written in the early twentieth century, the
four books contained within this collection make up one of the most
complete and groundbreaking works on the practice of magick ever
written. They are considered to be the masterpiece of occultist,
magician and philosopher Aleister Crowley and the core texts for
the religion of Thelema. Their influence on alternative western
thought and philosophy cannot be exaggerated. Also known as Book
Four, or Liber ABA, the four parts bring together many rituals,
received texts, theorems and unequalled insights into the practice
of magick, culminating in The Book of the Law, the central, sacred
text dictated to Crowley by a preternatural entity. Anyone
interested in yoga, ceremonial magic, esoteric thought, invocation,
divination and beyond, or those looking to delve into the
fascinating, playful and illuminating writings of a unique man,
will find inspiration. For the first time, one of the world's
leading experts on Western esoteric traditions and magic, Dr.
Stephen Skinner, introduces the text, sharing his insights into
Crowley's take on yoga, ceremonial magick and Thelema. His long
involvement with magick, both as an academic and as a practitioner,
enabled Dr. Skinner to highlight the differences between the
psychological and the spirit-orientated approaches to magick, and
to show how that dilemma shaped Crowley's practice and his founding
of Thelema, enlightening the reader to many previously unknown
connections.
This edition includes Liber 777, Gematria (from Equinox Volume 1,
Number 5), and Sepher Sephiroth (from Equinox Volume 1, Number 8).
