About the Author

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), also known as The Great Beast and the Wickedest Man in the World, was one of the most profound students of Magick, Qabalah and yoga psychology. His vast influence reaches through all modern occultism. He is widely recognized as the first Western investigator to give initiation a truly scientific method. In reconciling occultism to physical science, mathematics and philosophy, Crowley achieved a lasting synthesis that remains unsurpassed for depth of insight and comprehensiveness.

Crowley wrote this treatise as a commentary to the Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster. Depths of Insight are contained herein, making this an ultimately excellent text-book of the experiences of the Inward and Outward Paths - anyone interested in this book should try to join the A.'.A.'.'s subtle plan to raise the levels of Mankind's Spirituality above any past levels in the rememberable History.

This review is from: Little Essays Toward Truth (Paperback)

A book written late in Crowley's life (if memory serves) cryptic essays on several Magickal emotions. Some will be accessible to non-magicians. Some will not. (Some may not make sense to anybody.)

This is definitely a fantastic commentary on magical philosophy. It is a good primer for beginners but as Crowley's writings usually are, it requires rereading and meditation.
