Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) was a magus, poet, sexual athlete, mountaineer, traitor, drug fiend, and Prophet of a New Eon. He has been dubbed "The Wickedest Man in the World." Author of 777, Diary of a Drug Fiend, and Book of Lies, as well as many other books, Crowley, with Freida Harris, also created the bestselling Thoth Tarot Deck.
Book 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 study of this Book is forbidden. It is wise to
destroy this copy after the first reading. Whosoever
disregards this does so at his own risk and peril.
These are most dire. Those who discuss the contents
of this Book are to be shunned by all, as centres of
pestilence. All questions of the Law are to be
decided only by appeal to my writings, each for
himself. There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.
