Very Good-Please see photos as part of condition report 2018, THE BOOK OF LAW By Aleister Crowley Aleister Crowley (born Edward Alexander Crowley; 12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947) was an English occultist, philosopher, ceremonial magician, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. A prolific writer, he published widely over the course of his life. Illustrated By: N/A Format: Softcover, Language: English Dust Jacket: No Jacket, Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket Published By: Strigoi Publishing, octavo (8vo 6 × 9 152 × 229), Pages 104 ISBN: 9781983524639 Aleister Crowley once stated: "I was not content to believe in a personal Devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff." In April of 1904 while in Cairo, Egypt, Crowley achieved that goal. On three successive days, the Book of the Law was dictated to him by an entity who called himself Aiwass, a spirit passionately identified by Crowley as his own Holy Guardian Angel, and The Devil Satan. This book declares the gospel of Thelema (Greek for Will), whose central message is Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The Book of the Law is the basis of the New Aeon of the Crowned and Conquering Child, wherein every man and woman is a star.
