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.

Highly recommended to anyone even remotely interested in Aleister Crowley's Magick of Thelema.

Enter the Mind of a Prophet

ByFrater Panthaon February 18, 2008

Format: Paperback

This book gives a good brief account of Crowley's life story up to and including his reception of The Book of the Law. It covers all the events of Crowley's life that Crowley felt were of most importance. For a fuller account of his life the reader might want to read Crowley's Confessions, or Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley by Richard Kaczynski. For those looking for a review of Crowley's life not done by a person that actually enjoys the works of Crowley they could check out Do What Thou Wilt by Sutin which almost oozes with hate for Crowley and belittles almost every major thing Crowley did during his life.

In my opinion the reason this book (Equinox of the Gods) is so wonderful is that it takes us inside the mind of the prophet WHILE he was receiving The Book of the Law. Crowley's line by line account of receiving The Book of the Law and what was going on inside his head while it happens is priceless. He takes us through the things he saw in his mind. The questions that where raised (and answered in The Book of the Law). This book is a must read for all Thelemites, O.T.O. members, and A.'.A.'. members trying to understand The Book of the Law. Lines in The Book of the Law that could be puzzled over for years are explained in seconds when you understand the thoughts inside the mind of the prophet while he was receiving the book. Some things in The Book of the Law are comments about thoughts inside his head. Some things were mere personal instructions for Crowley. Other things were direct answers to questions and doubts he was having during the reception of The Book of the Law. Knowing which passage is which is a joyous help when trying to understand all the aspects of this holy book.

Equinox of the Gods also includes the full text of all three chapters of Liber AL vel Legis (Book 220 also called The Book of the Law).

Truly amazing!

ByA customeron September 21, 1999

Format: Paperback

"Equinox of the Gods" is, simply put, a wonder. A marvel that any Thelemite worth his/her salt should read and that any Occultist in general would find much of interest within. This book has within it's pages a complete copy of Liber vel Legis (The Book of the Law) as well as a facsimile of the handwritten MS. The commentaries on Liber vel Legis alone are worth the cost of admission, not to mention the value of the bits of Crowley's personal journals. Highly recommended!
