This text is essential to anyone interested in or a member of the Ordo Templi Orientis. It is the book that contains much of what is appropriately called the "Blue Equinox Model" of the O.T.O.

This is also a fantastic book for non-member Thelemites and occultists in general. Achad's "A Master of the Temple" is an extremely helpful and revealing description of the path of the Aspirant.

If you are interested in Aleister Crowley, the O.T.O., Thelema, or the occult I highly, highly recommend this book, as well as the rest of the Equinox series. Forget D.J. Conway; forget Silver Ravenwolf; forget Laurie Cabot; forget Scott Cunningham; forget Raymond Buckland; forget Konstantinos; forget Raven Grimassi; forget all of the fluff and fodder. If you want serious, adult, disciplined occultism, Crowley is your man.

I ordered this book almost 2 mos ago. After calling Weiser/Red Wheel Books, I found out that the Nov. release date is false. Apparently, they are trying to decide when and how to publish it. Their customer service # is 978-465-0504. They don't mind if people call and ask about this book, the more people call, the sooner it might get published...maybe.

This book along with Equinox III:10 is fundamental reading for anyone interested in the OTO, A/A/, Thelema, Crowley or just 20th Century occultism in general.
To really get a grasp on the above systems, this book completes the base set. It contains a nice mix of Thelemic Holy Books, essays, a journal, OTO documents and poetry. On the positive, it is quite entertaining reading on its own for those interested in this type of material, and serves as a storehouse of knowledge for (intellectually) understanding Crowley's systems.
