Product Description

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. This oft-misunderstood phrase, which forms the basis for Crowleys practise of Magick, is found in The Book of the Law. Dictated to Crowley in Cairo on three successive days in April 1904, it is the sourcebook for Crowley students and occultist in general. This deluxe edition features new scans of the original manuscript, with Crowleys notes and annotations found in a later draft of the work.

Customer Reviews

The Book Of The Law is controversial and often misunderstood
As you can tell from the other reviews of this book, it provokes a wide range of reactions from its readers. To some it's an idol; to others, a comic book. The book itself says, "The fool readeth this Book of the Law, and its comment; & he understandeth it not. Let him come through the first ordeal, & it will be to him as silver. Through the second, gold. Through the third, stones of precious water. Through the fourth, ultimate sparks of the intimate fire. Yet to all it shall seem beautiful. Its enemies who say not so, are mere liars." I would suggest that no one buy this book unless they are prepared to find it either disappointing or transformative.

The Magickal Formula Of The Aeon of Horus
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

These are hard words to live by. What is my true will? How do I go about doing it? The Book of The Law tells how. No, not is straight forward, simplistic language, nor in rules or dogma to be followed without question, like sheep to the slaughter. But it does answer them for those who will listen.

Read The Book of the Law. Put it down. Cogitate on it. Read it again. Then again. Then read the extended commentary "The Law is For All". You may not come away from the experience as a Thelemite, but you will come away changed for the better. I did, after a thirty year spiritual search to litteraly the four corners of the World.

Love is the Law, Love under Will.

What the hell?
Read the book. Try and read Crowley's handwriting. Wonder what that was all about. Read it again and find interesting lines. Completely ignore all the warnings about studying and typing it. Wonder again, what all that was about. Repeat until bored. I loved it.
