Summary: Unique and Entertaining
Review: Aleister Crowley is my new idol. For years I was interested in Anton LaVey's brand of Satanism, then I got disgruntled with it and began seeking out Crowley. In my opinion, Crowley tops LaVey in every aspect. Crowley was a genious and a brilliant thinker, far ahead of his time.This book serves as an excellent introduction to Crowley. With the convenient length of 50 pages, it can be read in very little time. Much of it is poetry. Some of it also challenges gods. I love that philosophy of "Do what thou wilt." I can really agree with that, and it's simple. At the end, the author says to destroy the book and discussion of it is forbidden. If you do that because he says you're no better than the other religions you're working against, taking it as gospel. I recommend The Book of the Law for those with serious interests in the occult. Crowley is the best personality to draw influences from an occult standpoint. There's also a lot of philosophy in it. Crowley is my favorite author. Even if you don't do everything he says, it's still an entertaining and worthwhile read. I also recommend his novels Moonchild and Diary of a Drug Fiend.

Summary: STRANGE AEONS
Review: "The Book Of The Law" is a major work penned by Aleister Crowley and this edition is decent, completed with the original manuscripts as they were written by the author's hand. Within this book you will find precious information, altough if you're not into the subject I'm afraid you'll fail to grasp the broader context of the work. I reccomend also the "Books of Thelema", for anyone interested in Crowley. As a personnal foot-note, I invite you to discover the work of one of his disciples: Austin Osman Spare of the Zos Kia Cult: "Zos - that I may see; kia - that I may touch". Now go and open your eyes!

Summary: Everything that glitters.....
Review: Everything that glitters From what I've read of Crowley it seemes like he was fairly certain of a couple of things. The first being that this book was his most significant or seminal work. The second being that he was 666, and not just any devil or demon but the official biblical Beast. So if Crowley is 666, then would it not be unreasonable to suspect that this book is perhaps not the blueprint for heaven on earth or man's ascension to the higher realms that a lot of these reviews seem to be making it out to be? Crowley and this book might be inspiration for a lot of great musicians and Hollywood, but if it was also the inspiration for people like Hitler and Manson (not to say Manson wasn't a victim of bad PR) then it would seem a fair question. I'm not not talking about petty morals here. I'm talking about where the 20th century is ending up. Granted a lot of the book is just a restatement of Old Testament bloodlust, and the rule of the strong has always pretty much been the law. Still what little promise there was of a great society or some kind of real equality was pretty much finished off by the hedonistic, ethic-less corporate culture that reached its full stature in this century. What the CIA did abroad the PR industry and Hollywood did at home and abroad. I don't think I am misreading this book. Joyously stomping out your enemies, cooking them and eating them, it's all in there. And the author does take credit for a couple of the high points of this century. "I am the warlord of the '40s and the '80s cower before me and are abased". The '40s speak for themselves and the '80s really did seem to ring the moral death knell for Western civilization and I don't just mean the freebase cocaine and bad music. I'm talking Reaganomics and a corporate readjustment that began and foreshadowed the phenomenal upward concentration of wealth and power. So now as the nitwit brings us ever closer to WW III and global ecological disaster it becomes ever clearer where the Gipper was actually steering the old ship of state in that glorious decade. Not that the book seems anymore prescient or whacked out than the Bible, the Torah or Dianetics, and its not that I don't have sympathy for the guy. I pretty much agree with his views on the major religions, and if I'd been raised Plymouth brethren as was he I might think I was the devil too. But I still have to question is the bloodlust just an unhappy childhood or something worse?

Summary: Discussion of this book is forbidden
Review: So, I won't bore you to tears with what's actually in the book. Not that it would make sense, anyway. Like all other works of "Holy Literature" the meanings are subjective. What does matter is that this is THE KEY to udnerstanding the history and contributions of the man who was Aleister Crowley. Without knowledge of this work, any attempt to understand THE GREAT BEAST is futile. Clearly a must read for the serious occultist!

Summary: Deciding
Review: I can't recall how I stumbled upon this book but I am still deciding what impact to allow it to have on my life....there is certainly a question as to whether this book (and author) leans toward "good" or "bad" (from a Western prospective; that is...Eastern belief embraces the theory of simultaneously being good/evil...Yin & Yang) In reading this book, I see that Crowley has a talent for writing on many levels; and to many different audiences; at the same time. One can really only grasp what one is ready to grasp when reading his work....additionally, there are "booby traps" within his writing...traps designed to halt he who reads the text for the wrong reasons... I have seen these traps ("O Chosen One"; designed to trap he who views himself as a phrophet) I have not; to my knowledge; fallen in any..yet, if I had, I suppose I would not know! ha ha ha
I suggest reading this along with some Ram Dass material...(Be Here Now) or maybe something lighter (Celestine Phrophecy)
I cannot tell anyone what to expect from this book; preferably nothing! But I can share my experience...I was enjoying this book, and then I encountered the part regarding sacrifice... I wasn't sure what I was getting into, and I know that I am currently on the "right" path...I do not want to get involved with something which I do not understand. Maybe as time goes by I will pick it up again and read what I cannot now see; and finish the book...until then, I welcome anyone's input or theories on what "sacrifice" is a metaphor for, as I cannot imagine that one should gain power or pleasure from another's suffering; no matter how pure he who suffers is........ Enjoy!

Summary: This book is by many,far misunderstood.
Review: I have owned the Liber Legis now for nearly 6 years. Aleister crowley certainly did not write this for the idiot or the fool. For this writing holds the secrets of all existance, waiting to be expounded. The conciousness of the continuity of existence, this is the threefold book of the Law of Thelema. It is required material to the student of the thelemic arts, or to any system of magick related to Crowley, the Argentum Astrum, Golden Dawn etc....this is a must have! This is the holiest writing in the whole world!
