Synopsis
This is a clear introduction to the works of Crowley by a modern master of the occult. DuQuette's humorous and down-to-earth style demystifies Crowley's writing and rituals in this modern grimoire. Step by step, he presents a course of study with examples of rituals and explanations of their significance. DuQuette also includes a course of study for Crowley's original works with an extensive bibliography and fastidious footnotes.

Customer Reviews

Curious about Crowley....?
Want to know about the Great Beast and all his Works? This is probably the very best book to start with. Lon Milo du Quette is a Thelemite of many years experience. He writes clearly and in detail about Crowley's magical system, how the rituals (all given here) should be performed and what they mean. And - wow - unusually for a ritual magician, he has a sense of humour too. (Happily more accessible than Crowley's!)

Crowly has been dismissed as over-complicated, verbose, or just barking mad. He was - and in many ways still is - way ahead of his time. His magic has a pattern and logic all of its own, but it isn't for dabblers. There is enough information in this book to occupy an aspirant for years.

If you want to be a Thelemite, this is all you need.
