Summary: Hmmm...
Review: THIS is the book.

Is "Aiwaz" talking about a Crowley, a coming prophet, prophets, or describing the universe itself? OR BOTH? That my friend is up to you to decide. This book is for most part a synthesis of the most important aspects of the spiritual systems and religions of the world... regardless of what else it is. This will keep you busy for a while.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent edition of Liber aL
Review: Holy book or puzzle book/cipher text? Either way, this is a fantastic work; something everyone should own. I'm not into Crowley or Thelema, but there is no doubt that Aiwass is brilliant!

This edition of "Liber aL" is beautiful, and the best to be published to date (the exception being private prints.) Amazingly, and something that has been long overdue: Rose gets credit!
Of course, Liber 220 (typeset version of LaL) is included, and so is a wonderful reproduction of the original manuscript (extremely nice to have for further analysis of the book; though LaL purists may be dismayed with the version used.) This edition also includes the 'Stele of Revealing' with translation.

You can't go wrong with this edition of "Liber aL." Too bad the cover of "Liber L. vel Legis" wasn't included in the reproduction of the original ms.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nice version, but the text is everywhere
Review: If you're interested in Thelema, then this book is available online. The US Grand Lodge of the OTO even has scans of the original document. If you're really interested in Thelema, then the text is probably already in a book that you own (such as Duquette's Magick of Thelema). Just about every book on Thelema includes a copy. If you want something to show your friends, stick in your pocket (at 7x6 it's probably a bit big for that), etc. Then this is probably a decent purchase.

As for the contents, who's to say? You find in the book whatever you're looking for, and as you learn more, you see more. It's fun to read, and it has a generally positive outlook toward the human condition. However, it's a beast if you're hoping to understand it all at once.

Summary: Um.....
Review: So, what I don't understand, is why people would believe that Aleistair Crowley didn't make this stuff up as some heroin addled pseudophilosophical attempt to express the pain and anger of a warped childhood, repressive parents, and misguided, self-annihilating, sensation seeking life. One might think I stand quick to judge. Yet let it be known to all, that the one-in-many-headed clay god of the pretemporal resurrection of inverted twilight appeared to me in the swirling foam of toothpaste expectorant as it slowly swirled into the void of my bathroom sink drain, hitherto unbeknownst to me as a secret portal to the lair of the Zeus-Venus lovechild and Supreme Conscience known by name only to me, and now revealed in all her holy abstractness as the Hermaphrodite God(dess) OPEC. This goddess spews black coal from her tracheal gills, spilling forth a powerful liquid that she told me would one day soon both unite the evil of the rulers of the world into warring factions while providing a source of unsurpassed power to mankind, a power that will thrill, corrupt, power engines, and one day, in the height of man's dependence upon such power, will suddenly disappear, leaving us to suffer, in holes and caves, through and eight hundred and eighty-eight millennia long ice age. Oh, and she said she was going to do (the disembodied spirit of) Aleistair Crowley the way Michael Jackson did the Beatles and Peter Frampton, outselling his books by a factor of, that's right, 888. Good news for *this* particular retailer!

Summary: Wonderful new edition
Review: Whether you believe in what is written or not is no issue. This book delineates change that the world has no control over. Times up!
"There is the dove and there is the serpent. Choose ye well!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How can you not have this already?
Review: This book ushers in the new Aeon. It is to the Thelemites what the Holy Bible is to Christians. And as the Aeon progresses more people will find their way to Liber Al, The Book of the Law. It gives the views of three deities, Nuit, Hadit and Ra-Hoor-Khuit. When these views are overlaid one another, the true way of life is revealed. If you are serious about your magickal workings and you know in your heart that there must be a religion that empowers your magick. This is a book you need to check out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Want to be a Wicked-Tight Balla? Buy this Book!
Review: Have you ever been walking down the street and said, "hey, I hear the City of the Pyrimids has great weather this time of the year. I wonder How I can get from here to there?"

That's when this book walks up to you and socks you in the nose and says, "hey silly, you're already there. The poor weather here is just an illusion created by you, the manifestation of the (false) duality of that which is and that which is not. Go pawn off your watch, carve out your heart, and kill yer daddy and discover what lies behind the veil of thought and truth."

That's when you're all like, "whoah dude. Nuit is my destination, and Hadit is the light to guide me!"

Then the book's like, "dude, totally."

Summary: The Script of the New Aeon - The Book of the Law
Review: Read the Book...
Love the Book...
Be the Book...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Esoteric...life changing
Review: The first time you read this book, you won't understand much. Crowley is very much like Taoist philosophy, in the sense that you should get your own meaning out of it, and try to interpret the book in your own way. This thing rules! Its a shame that its so short, and somewhat difficult to understand, but after a few read throughs, it will unfold in many interesting ways.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book is my bible
Review: Aleister Crowley wrote many books but this is one of his best.
From the first time I opened it up and read it to the other three times I did. It teaches you something new each time and can pull you out of depression or even get rid of writers block it did for me.

Plus this book is one of a kind no other Magician wrote a book quite like this.
