Product Description:
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." This oft-misunderstood phrase, which forms the basis for Crowley's practice of Magick, is found in The Book of the Law. Dictated to Crowley in Cairo between noon and 1 pm on three success days in April 1904, the Book of the Law is the source book and key for Crowley students and for the occult in general.
For the first time the Book of the Law is offered in a deluxe, hardcover edition fittingly issued in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Liber AL vel Legis's transmission to Crowley.

The heart of Crowley's thinking boils down to "Do what you will." This is coterminous with "we are god" and "the truth is in you" and "trust in your heart." Crowley was a bit of a megalomaniac and indulged in flights of ecstasy about being the originator of this phrase, even claiming to be a better poet than Yeats. Or is it Aiwas that is a better poet than Yeats? After all, Crowley claims that this book was dictated by an angel named Aiwas. In either case, Crowley and Aiwas must be lying since ... Read More

This book is purportedly a diatribe from a spirit being. Perhaps so, but clearly not a high level, godly, spirit. Hence there are instructions to Crowley to destroy his enemies, show them no mercy, and so on. The entity also requires blood sacrifices (including the blood of young children) among other strange anachronistic rituals. But this is not Yahweh of the Old Testament. Apparently, this particular spirit exerted some influence over the ancient Egyptians, and is now resentful that he is no longer ... Read More

This is a great text that is as odd as it is beautiful. I really love reading it, and it is both thought provoking and spooky at times. AC really should have had more commentary in this, but I understand why there isn't any. You can read it on line, but nothing beats having it handy for any time that you'd like to read or refer to it.

The Book of the Law by Aleister Crowley is an insightful look into the mystery man himself. Seeing himself as a prophet of the New Age, he releases a private revelation he received while channeling with the spirit world. The revelation mirrors his own distrust of the direction taken by the masses toward world leaders and their quest for peace and order. The message that comes across is that each person must seek enlightenment in order to achieve true peace. Likewise, the people who look toward governments ... Read More

I first read the Book of the Law in a soft cover edition and found it
to be a very focused occult text, with its own interesting and orginal
words of power. The hard cover edition enhances the occult sense and feel
of this book, I consider it the Grimoire edition. An interesting aspect of
Aiwass is that a later occult author, Robert Morga channeled a Grimoire
called the Grimoire of the Demon Ewaz. In my opinion, Ewaz is the same
Aiwass in the Book of The Law, and in ... Read More
