  • Not for the weak minded

  • Do What Thou Wilt!
How do justify the words of Aleister Crowley? A better question would be how do you justify Christianity, the words of Aleister Crowley bring into focus more of what Christianity wants to be. People who are struggling to be Christian may find justification in full by what Crowley has presented in this book, he has he is presented the will of the Bible of Jesus in clear and concise ideas. Love under will. I do believe that any follower of the abrahamic god would find this bills in the cracks that plague followers of the word. Amen ... show more

  • Beyond Kabbalah...
If you've studied Crowley for even a few hours, you'll realize that you're not going to open this book and understand what he was getting at just by reading through the text a few times. This is undoubtedly a work that requires careful consideration of so many implicit elements. To list what you need to consider to get at "the deeper meaning" of this book, I'd have to sit here all day. The interesting thing about this book is that you don't necessarily have to analyze the text thoroughly (though it's certainly worth it) to get something out of it. Some of the 'poems' evoke a good laugh, some are beautiful and inspiring and can easily become a personal gem of wisdom for the reader (for me, "The Mountaineer".) When I first started getting into Crowley's writing, a friend recommended starting with the Book of Lies. Other friends naturally scoffed at the recommendation, and insisted I start with The Book of the Law. Now I wish I'd gone with the Book of Lies first, so that I could come back to it after reading other Crowley just to see how far I've come in the Great Work. Even if the Great Work isn't your goal, this book if nothing else is a fantastic conversation piece. I recommend it to not only occultists, but to all book lovers. It's fascinating. ... show more

  • Definitely get this if you think you want it.
It's so much more than a book of poems if you know what you're looking for out of it. I never thought a book could turn me into one of those "pretentious poetry people" but I get it now, and here we are.

  • Do You Know the Magick Man?
Not a light, pleasure read, for sure. There is a lot of arcane, coded, and testy references in this work Crowley released in 1913. A working knowledge, or at least familiarity of Qabalah would certainly enhance the reading experience . . . and I have neither. But - the way this book is arranged gives the novice or dilettante a bit of hope. The "chapters" are printed on the page to the left, with notes, references, and decoding tools on the page to the right. I've always wanted to see what people who like this guy were liking . . . now I have, and it's not a book I'll hang onto for a re-read. ... show more

  • amazing poetry for spirtual transformataion
i was once told that i would not come to understand the meaning, works, or symbolism of the genius that is crowley untill i was ready for it. i first learned of crowley from the infamous ozzy song at the age of thirteen. i am now 27 and i bought this book two years ago with all intentions of coming to know more about said works of crowley. i beileive this is a great start for anyone who wants to know more about him. i still have not read every chapter as he calls them, however i just read one or two at a time and find myself contemplating what i read for a couple weeks on end. any poetry that can do that is life changing and i am glad i bought this when i did. trully a heart felt collection,this has deep dualistic and or multiple meanings that intertwine and connect with other poems throughout the book. i love this book as a poet myself, next two purchases will be white stains,and the book of the law and who knows what else from there. i have allways love anything esoteric/metaphysical/occultish/new age or whatever you call it all. ... show more

  • I couldn't understand a thing he wrote
I am giving this three stars because I am stupid to what it says. This version has a part that explains it and I still don't get it. I tried for over a year to get it and never did. I still own it with all the notes and formulas that I wrote in it but can't figure it out at all. I even pretended that the people didn't understand it either so I attempted to do research myself. Lost is all I can say. Not for everyone but those that do understand it I give many props to. ... show more

  • The potent ramblings of a mad man
Over all I am very pleased with this purchase. It arrived the day I had expected, 5 hours earlier than I had expected. The paperback arrived in perfect condition, with that wonderful new book smell. So on that front I have no reason to complain, and I won't. However I would like to note to those who do not exactly understand the contents of the book, that it may not be entirely satisfactory. This is a very cryptic text, I don't think anyone would deny that. Most of the passages do not direct anything meaningful in any direct fashion, and the commentary by Crowley does not help that much. This is definitely a book for contemplation and meditation, and, though I may be wrong, the majority of the passages seem to be either glorifying or justifying spiritual hedonism. They are fairly interesting, however, and that is not to devalue them at all. It is a mystic book, in the end, and expecting anything more or less than mysticism, would just be an exercise in foolishness. ... show more
