UK Aleister Crowley: The Beast Demystified By Roger Hutchinson Now in Paperback- Aleister Crowley - mystic, writer, poet, astrologer, sexual revolutionary, painter, mountain climber and social critic - has a terrifying reputation. The contemporary press labelled him the "wickedest man in the world", while he called himself the 'great beast'. Occultist Crowley supported Germany in the First World War and was addicted to opiates. Many who associated with him died tragically in mysterious circumstances. Working from the starting point that behind the demonic reputation there stood a human being, and that beyond the self-proclaimed black magician there was a man hungry for publicity and fame, Roger Hutchinson lifts the smokescreen of mythology to reveal a truly astonishing figure. Why did this curious product of the Plymouth Brethren found the "first hippy commune" in Sicily? What led this Cambridge graduate to be celebrated 20 years after his death on the cover of The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album? Why did Mussolini expel him from Italy? Why did a British magazine label him 'the man we'd like to hang'? Roger Hutchinson reveals the real Crowley: warts, wickedness, talent, courage, cowardice and all. MORE... USA MORE... UK Aleister Crowley And the Practice of the Magical Diary Edited By James Wasserman This important collection includes Aleister Crowley's two most important instructional writings on the design and purpose of the magical diary, 'John St. John' and 'A Master of the Temple'. These were the only two works regarding the magical diary published in Crowley's lifetime. Both were first published in Crowley's immense collection of magical instruction, The Equinox. John St. John chronicles Crowley's moment by moment progress during a 13-day magical working. Crowley referred to it as "a perfect model of what a magical record should be." 'A Master of the Temple' is taken from the magical diary of Frater Achad at a time when he was Crowley's most valued and successful student. It provides an invaluable example of a student's record, plus direct commentary and instruction added by Crowley. With commentary and introductory material by editor James Wasserman, Aleister Crowley and the Practice of the Magical Diary is the most important and accessible instruction available to students of the occult regarding the practice of keeping a magical diary. This revised edition includes a new introduction by Wasserman, a foreword by noted occult scholar J. Daniel Gunther, revisions throughout the text, a revised reading list for further study, plus Crowley's instructions on banishing from Liber O. MORE... USA MORE... UK Equinox (10 Volume Set) By Aleister Crowley The Equinox, also called The Review of Scientific Illuminism, has become the standard for English language esotericism, aptly termed the "Encyclopedia of Initiation" by its principal editor and contributor, Aleister Crowley.

UK Aleister Crowley and the Ouija Board By J. Edward Cornelius Reveals many dark secrets and protected truths about the talking board. Complete with the 20th century's most famous magician's writings on the Ouija Board. For decades, waves of preachers, teachers and parents have condemned the Ouija Board as a devil's gateway to perilous obsessions and spiritual possessions. While these claims recall a special brand of witch-trial era hysteria, master occultist and Crowley expert, author J. Edward Cornelius defends these accusations as entirely true. The greatest ceremonial magician of the 20th century, Crowley advocated the Ouija Board as an occult tool. He strongly believed that the board utilises the same principles that were practiced by the famed Elizabethan magician John Dee, who used a crystal ball as a means of "skrying" or seeing into the invisible realms. According to Crowley the same principle holds true for the talking board but, instead of going within the invisible realms, the entities are summoned into our world in order for them to move the triangle from one letter to another to spell out messages.

Blue Equinox Equinox, Vol.III, No.I By Aleister Crowley NEW EDITION! First published in Detroit in 1919, the legendary Blue Equinox was Crowley's first attempt to publicize the principles and aims of the magical secret society Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) and its allied order the A.A. In it, Crowley laid out the esoteric, social, ethical, and philosophical ideas that he believed provided the framework for a new ethics and the liberated morality of the future. Upon publication, the book was threatened with suppression by the authorities of the day. Many of the papers in the Blue Equinox anticipated social liberties we tend to take for granted today. MORE... USA MORE... UK Abrahadabra: Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thelemic Magick By Rodney Orpheus Thelemic magick, as it is practiced today, is based on the works of Aleister Crowley. Those works can be dense, and Crowley's suggested course of study intimidating to beginners. In Abrahadabra, Rodney Orpheus offers a much simpler and more immediate path for working with the same magical current Crowley used. His approach is grounded in practice—you don't need to read tomes before you begin to meditate and participate in rituals and practical exercises and manifestations. Abrahadabra is a perfect primer for anyone who is curious to know what magick is all about, but it is also a wonderful sourcework for those looking to augment their own Wiccan or pagan practice with ritual magick or who seek a deeper understanding of Crowley's classic works.

Fuller It was while in India that Fuller first contacted Aleister Crowley, writer, magician and notorious self-publicist. He saw an advertisement offering £100 for the best essay on Crowley's works published in the "Traveller's Edition", and "on its arrival, I decided to try my luck". Such were the origins of Fuller's first book, The Star in the West. Fuller won Crowley's prize and the two men became fast friends. J. F. C. Fuller was a follower of Aleister Crowley as well as an innovator of military maneuvers and tank warfare in World War II. Major General Fuller was one of the foremost military historians of the 20th century, and the author of many books, including A Military History of the Western World. MORE... USA MORE... UK Aleister Crowley and the Cult of Pan By Michael Murphy Few more nightmarish figures stalk English literature than Aleister Crowley, poet, magician, mountaineer and agent provocateur. In this groundbreaking study, Paul Newman dives into the occult mire of Crowley's works and fishes out gems and grotesqueries that are by turns ethereal, sublime, pornographic and horrifying. Like Oscar Wilde before him, Crowley stood in "symbolic relationship to his age" and to contempories like Rupert Brooke, G.K. Chesterton and the Portugese modernist Fernando Pessoa. An influential exponent of the cult of the great god Pan, his essentially 'pagan' outlook was shared by major European writers as well as English novelists like E.M. Forster, D.H. Lawrence and Arthur Machen. This book provides a new insight into Crowley's life as a magician and literary figure. identifies and gives an analysis of Crowley's poetry. Places him to the context of Edwardian Britain's addiction to the cult of Pan. MORE...

UK Megatherion: The Magical World of Aleister Crowley By Francis King Aleister Crowley has been seen variously as a man of notorious sexual habits, a satanic occultist, and latterly an icon of the 1960s love generation. He was the synthesizer of what he termed "Magick," a system of occult philosophy and technique outlined in such classic texts as The Book of the Law and Magick in Theory and Practice. Crowley's vision combined clarity, intellectual power,and a strange, sometimes frightening beauty. In this cogent and intensely readable account of Crowley's occult progress, Francis King examines each of the three main sources of Magick - thus throwing much new light on Crowley himself and explaining the admiration for his writings by the likes of filmmaker Kenneth Anger and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. MORE... USA MORE... UK Magick of Aleister Crowley: Rituals of Thelema By Lon Milo Duquette Aleister Crowley's impact upon Western spiritual tradition is incalculable, yet beginning students frequently find it difficult, if not impossible, to grasp the post-graduate level of Crowley's writing. Now Crowley scholar Lon Milo DuQuette shares the insights of over twenty years of research and practice in what can be described as a "Crowley primer". Using simple, straightforward language, he traces the evolution of Ceremonial Magick and discusses the foundations and intricacies of Crowley's thought. He challenges the reader to put this knowledge into practic by offering initiated commentaries upon Crowley's rituals. This is without question the most unintimidating, amusing and user-friendly guide to the works of Aleister Crowley ever written. Lon Milo DuQuette has been an officer of the Ordo Templi Orientis since 1975. He has had access to the published and unpublished literary treasures of the Order's archives and associated private collections. As Lodge Master of one of the largest O.T.O bodies in the world, he is considered one of the finest Thelemic ritualists of the day. MORE... USA MORE... UK Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot: By Lon Milo Duquette To authoritatively discuss the Harris-Crowley Thoth Tarot, one must not only be a Crowley expert, but a tarot expert as well. Lon Milo DuQuette is both. For over 30 years he has studied and practiced Crowley's magical system. He is also a Certified Tarot Grand Master and creator of the Tarot of Ceremonial Magick. Crowley's own Book of Thoth, written just before his death, was intended to be the accompanying text to the deck, but while the cards can be appreciated the moment they are taken out of the box, the Book of Thoth requires an intimate familiarity with Crowley's complex teachings. What has been missing, and what DuQuette has created, is an introductory text for the deck. In clear and often humorous language he provides everything you need to know about Crowley's fundamental principles to get the most out of using the deck. He starts with the basic background of the deck before delving into descrptions of each card in depth. Each card is described in detail regarding it's traditional tarot meaning, which is then expanded upon with all the other attributions Crowley intended. MORE... USA MORE... UK Unknown God: W.T. Smith and the Thelemites The first documentary study of Aleister Crowley's contemporary followers in North America, told through the life of their de facto leader, Wilfred Talbot Smith. Smith met Charles Stansfeld Jones (Frater Achad) and through him, the works of Aleister Crowley. Although Crowley and Smith met only once, their twenty year correspondence proved to be a major link to the few and the faithful attracted to Crowley's work in the US and Canada. Smith's spiritual life centered first on the initiatic structure of the Order of the A.A., complemented by the emerging fraternal and social schemes of the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO). To promulgate the Crowleyan teachings, in 1934 Smith incorporated his own "Church of Thelema". The following year he initiated OTO activity in Los Angeles which attracted its own cast of occult characters. Smith's life reached a strange conclusion when Crowley sent him off on a retreat to determine which God he was incarnating. It was a journey from which Frater 132 never returned. This is a fascinating story, intimately interwoven with the lives of most of Crowley's disciples in the US including C.F. Russell, Jane Wolfe, Max R. Schneider, Jack Parsons, Louis T. Culling, Frederic Mellinger and Grady L. McMurtry as well as occult teachers like H. Spencer Lewis (AMORC) and Paul Foster Case (BOTA). MORE... USA MORE... UK The General Principles of Astrology By Aleister Crowley and Evangeline Adams This first full-scale reconstruction of his essential text has waited 85 years to appear as he originally intended it. Long before there was Linda Goodman, long before astrology bestsellers turned up in supermarkets, there was Aleister Crowley, the most important astrological scholar and authority of the early 20th century. Ghostwriting for Evangeline Adams, it was Crowley who wrote the vast majority of her classic textbooks, Astrology: Your Place in the Sun (1927) and Astrology: Your Place Among the Stars (1930). General Principles of Astrology finally acknowledges Crowley's authorship. Crowley's goal was to abandon traditional assumptions, so he based his findings on actual charts and how they were expressed in people's lives. In his characteristically clear and elegant prose, Crowley discusses each planet from a scientific and mythological point of view. He provides an exhaustive analysis of astrological types, drawing conclusions for over 180 astrological nativities of well-known artists, poets, musicians, philosophers, politicians, and business leaders from the 18th to the 20th century. This new book is composed of painstakingly gathered work, primarily ghostwritten by Crowley, and published in various early twentieth-century texts. It is published here in one volume for the first time, in an undertaking endorsed by both the Adams and Crowley estates. MORE... USA MORE... UK Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley By Richard Kaczynski Aleister Crowley, born in Victorian England to a life of financial privilege and religious bigotry, rebelled against his upbringing in every way possible. He became a mountaineer, a bohemian, a writer of sensuous poetry, and a practitioner of what detractors called "the black arts." In reality, he was an uninhibited explorer of global spiritual traditions combining ritual magic with spiritual ecstasy. His winding path intersected ceremonial magic, Buddhism, Hinduism, Kabbalah, sex, drugs, poetry and music. For the first time, the life of one of the most remarkable men of the 20th century is illuminated by a writer who is both an academic researcher and a lifetime practitioner. MORE...
