"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." This oftmisunderstood phrase, which forms the basis for Crowley's practice of Magick, is found in The Book of the Law. Dictated to Crowley in Cairo between noon and 1:00p.m. on three successive days in April 1904, The Book of the Law is the source book and key for Crowley students and for the occult in general. The holy text that forms the basis of Crowley's belief system, Thelema, was transmitted to him by the entity known as Aiwass over the course of three fateful April days in 1904. With his wife Rose as the medium for what would become known as the Cairo Working, Crowley dutifully transcribed the communications on hotel stationery. This work contains the corrected text of the 1938 edition with a facsimile of the handwritten manuscript.

Great little book that you should not read as your introduction into this type of literature.

May 13, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A great book that will not make any sense if you have not already done some research in history, religion, the occult and the like. As far as the quality of this specific printing it is great and is the one I would recommend buying no regrets about this book. As far as the content it is extremely short, but had enough there to answer several questions that I had and is a book I come back to and reference often. With all that said if you just pick this up and read and that is it and expect it to teach you then you are sorely mistaken this is going to seem like nonsensical gibberish to you if you don't know what is being talked about. So if that is you then start with the following books.
The Kybalion.
Magick: Liber ABA
Doctrine & Covenants.
& any of the good book on Egyptian culture and theology.
At that point you will understand a lot of what is being said in this book.

On a side note I have seen quite a few reviews on here complaining about typos in this book... /facepalm this is incorrect there are no typos. this is an exact typed version of written pages that were written in the 1800s, they spelled things differently then and were not as picky about where they put an apostrophe or period etc... these are not typos.

Don't waste your money on cheap paperback copies of the holiest ...

June 30, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

If you're a serious Thelemite and wish to own a copy of Liber AL, this is the one you want. Its hardcover and large print. Don't waste your money on cheap paperback copies of the holiest Thelemic text.

That said, I dislike that all of the commercially available version of Liber AL, so far as I'm aware, include the "intro" chapters prior to the actual text, which's why I subtract 1 star. These are *not* apart of the actual text received from Aiwass in 1904, but later additions.

This Book Has Exceeded My Expectations

August 2, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

It comes with a textured cover, not glossy or cheap. There's both printed and handwritten versions in the book. There are photocopied versions of the hand written (in cursive, but very legible) material included. For the price, the quality can't be beat. I nearly paid $60USD for another one on a different website, This book has exceeded my expectations. And bonus! It arrived early as well. Amazon is the best.

Book of the Law (of Discovering and Living Your Truth)

December 1, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This really is a spiritual text alerting us all to the opportunities of BEING THAT WHICH WE ARE. To follow out the spiritual purpose of one's beingness is the difficult, joyful and possible path of modern human beings. Every man and woman is a Star. A Star is similar to the Atman of the Hindus, the Yechidah of Kabbalah, and the Self of Jungian Psychology. Please, when studying this holy scripture, use the right brain to understand the symbolism of the Book of the Law. Don't be a fundamentalist in your interpretations. Open mind, open life. Good luck discovering your True Will, Actual Self and Abiding Truth(s)!

Burn it !

I read "The Eye in the Triangle" first and don't know how I would have fared reading this first.
Nevertheless, my favourite book to quote from and live by.
The language is so powerful that it has become part of my being.
I have four copies in this format and about 10 in the other books it has appeared in..

Thelemic sacred text book

April 30, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

So the average reader might read the first chapter, if that..realistically the first page, and think it's just rantings by a mad man, the "devil worshipper". The problem was that Crowley was and still is vilified by the church. When a person sees you reading Crowley you get the "dirty look". Those that do study Crowley's work know it's his works are very in depth and can be quite clever. My favorite quote is "Every man and woman is a star". Sounds insane, but the meaning is so perfectly explained in Lon Milo DuQuette's "Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot". I find that DuQuette is able to "decode" some of the more crazier parts of Crowley's works.
The Book of the Law is the "sacred text" of Thelema. It was supposively dictated to Crowley on his wedding night from an entity named Aiwass. The book only has 3 chapters, in the 1st person perspectives of Thelemic deities Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit. The Book of the Law may be short in pages, but the amount of knowledge is intense and should be revisited as I find with most Crowley works, you just seem to find or understand more each time. So to completely review this book, it's difficult to explain to those that have not read it. It is not a "read through" book. It's very rich and loaded with interesting logic.
