Even if we decide to ignore the fact that this is one of Crowley's most entertaining books, Konx Om Pax (Light in Extention) truly helps the "Children of Light" to understand the difficulty of the magickal path - while clearly illustrating its immeasurable worth. I recommend this book to anyone who has even the slightest interest in Magick or Crowley.

It's good to get in touch with Crowley's sense of humor. This nice red little book contains 4 very different symbolically charged stories. It doesn't take itself too seriously and pokes fun at a lot of things in a wry, cynical way that is not disillusioned. It's a quick read and I'll read it again.

Possibly one of Crowley's most influential works, this short book of four short stories is clearly a master in prose, poetry, language and the elusive. 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law' is not the subject here, but rather a symbolic IT is also a tell-tale of the fobidden knowledge for those that know and those that dont know. As was written in parenthesis; "Explanatory notes in Latin and Hebrew for the Wise and Prudent."

This is Crowley at his cryptic best! A collection of Qabalistic fairy tales, poems and stories. An essential work for the serious student of Thelema, Qabala and Magick!

Though I enjoyed this book, I found the matter awfully obscure--so I would warn the hapless reader that the subject matter is thickly wrapped in symbol. A valuable book for any serious student.
